Your frame is the weakest part.....although, I've never heard of a B26D breaking....

And it's spelt "Elite"

It sounds good except the brakes.
Magura Gustav M is unusable for trials use.
The pads wobble inside the caliper, even though you lock the brake your wheel will move.
The Louise or Louise FR are a better choice.

thats a horrible set up. if you want dual disc, get a megamo. run avid mechs or somthing. not magura gustavs. no real reason to run a steelset in a trials bike, might as well save the money/weight and go with a regular king

the king steel headset is a little overkill, not worth the money. I'd go for a decent ritchey with sealed bearings etc. That will hold up as well.
As for the brakes, I would give the avid mech. a try, with xtr lever and housing. I've been using it for quite a while now and it's by far the best disc I ever had. Louise, hope mini/mono mini didn't impress me at all. Don't know how the avid holds up on the rear..

def a no on the gustavs and the steel set
regular king headset for the bling bling, but all the race face, cane creek, and high end fsa's will work

avid mechs, 185mm wavey rotors, but just a little fyi, if you hop to the left....your going to own a few rotors

[oicdn]

I would keep the Steelset if it's already in there...it's a king....why not keep it. Are you gonna b that much of a weight weenie? It's not rotational mass, it'll hardly be noticeable...unless ofcourse, it's like 50 lbs heavier than a regular king....

ok, thanks, i have the steel set on it b/c i ride street, and i have herd of brisa's breaking arounf the head set, so that is one of the reasons for it, "strong like bull" as for the brakes, mike bentham uses the gustaves i think, or in one of the pic's he has them

You can't use an Avid on the rear of the brisa. They have a non-IS mount so very few calipers will actually fit in there.

yes they have broken but it depends how big you are and how big you go

The steel set will do nothing for the frame in terms of the frame braking at the welds headtube....
