It's a brand new derailleur,i have my old 1 out and soon for sale.The annodising is done in Italy.Waiting list is 12 weeks and it's bloody expensive.But it's so sick and beautifull
I have no brake faillure and the caliper works as a floating brake.Like most frame constructions the brake mounts are 1 with the frame.This caliper is seperated by 3 bolts from the frame.I don't need a floating disc brake like most single pivot bikes does.This is actualy a floating disc brake by it's self.The suspension is very very stable and doesn't effect under high braking forces on the rear suspension.
Bontrager Tyres are great and they god still lot's off grip left.But if they are need to be changed i woul'd switch them to Maxxis Minnion DH 26 x 2.6''.Pedals are from Bontrager and the model is King earl and these are fanatastic.Never complain over them.
