PRESSURE-RESISTENT POM PUMP PISTONS

The pump pistons are made of pressure-stable POM plastic, which has excellent wear resistance and sliding properties. The resulting ease of movement in the anodized pump piston track ensures that the mechanism runs smoothly. POM exhibits very little material abrasion, which means that the sliding properties remain unchanged over time.

HOLLOW STAINLESS STEEL PISTONS

The light and hollow stainless steel pistons in the brake caliper make a considerable contribution to the heat management of the brakes. The hollow cylinder design reduces the contact surface between the brake pads and pistons to a minimum, while the stainless steel itself has low thermal conductivity, significantly reducing heat transfer into the brake caliper. In addition to stainless steel, air also has low thermal conductivity. The air cushion created in the hollow cylinder therefore also makes a positive contribution to heat management.

BIONOL AS BRAKE FLUID

The brake fluid used in Trickstuff brakes is Bionol, which is made from vegetable oil and is environmentally friendly.

The low viscosity of Bionol enables an easier flow through the brake system and therefore a constant pressure point and smooth running. Due to its high viscosity index, it is less susceptible to changes in performance at low temperatures.

A high boiling point of the brake fluid is crucial for consistent and safe braking performance, even under heavy use. If the boiling point is exceeded, this can lead to the formation of vapor bubbles and thus to a compression of the brake fluid, resulting in a loss of braking power. The boiling range of the low-viscosity Bionol is between 360°C and 420°C at atmospheric pressure and is therefore considerably higher than that of conventional mineral oils or DOT brake fluids.

STIFFNESS & CONSTRUCTION OF BRAKE CALIPERS

A brake caliper with high stiffness enables a more direct and precise transmission of braking force, resulting in a clear and firm bite point. The two-piece Trickstuff brake calipers differ in terms of their design and are adjusted to their intended use and requirements.

In addition, the rollback behaviour of the caliper pistons has a decisive influence on the consistency of the bite point. Trickstuff brake calipers are designed with a short piston rollback, while tight manufacturing tolerances ensure that the pistons return evenly. This means that the brake pistons return to their original position within a very short time. This has the advantage of preventing the brake from being pumped up in quick braking succession and the free travel remains unchanged.

ERGONOMIC BRAKE LEVERS

With their ergonomic shape, Trickstuff brake levers offer a comfortable contact area to which the brake finger fits perfectly and offers you safety and precise control for a delightful braking experience. With the lever reach adjustment, the lever can also be adapted to individual hand sizes and personal preferences.
