Are there any differences between the 09 and 11? Rear brake or anything else.

Rear brake or anything else.I understand there are minor changes to the brake, so minor that it's still finicky and doesn't stop well, and changes preventing the seat stays from snapping. I think doublea334 answered a question from me about that as well; don't know if it was here or on another thread.
But I understand you should get a 2011 if you don't want your seat stays to snap.

Hi guys, I’ve been receiving messages to reply, sorry I’ve been very busy with work.
I’m using a direct mount Magura mounted with a bracket that picks up on the original mount points.
My first prototype was abs, then a ti part. After a fatigue analysis I settled on a lighter aluminum part. This should be in the infinite fatigue zone for a 100kg bike rider system.
Still retains the PIA brake pad bolt obscured by the chain ring!

I hit the photo limit on the last post.
I'm curious if you guys have had any failures on the plastic parts yet? how are they holding up just after the mounting bolt area?

Now that is the right way to do it ,aluminum !
Who made that?
I installed a plastic one for someone and it will flex under load.
And if you over tighten it will start to crush

Hi, I designed it. The M7 bolts with the correct shoulder length were the most difficult thing to procure in this project.

So you replaced the 2 stock bolts on the caliper with linger, through bolts?
And how did you remove the stock, center mounting bolt? Doesn’t that pass through the reservoir?

Hi Alex,
The exposed stud was removed (cut-off) only. I was careful about heat build up and did this with fluid in the bore.
The pivot bolts were replaced with through bolts. The magura threaded section was drilled out and obviously the front/back had to be spot faced. I used Ti bolts to save some weight and prevent any galling on the AL part.

Damn. That is one hell of a mod. Looks like a lot of work, but the end result seems fantastic.
Well done.

Is the metal available to buy? If so how much?
Re: Official P4 rear brake adapter thread [doublea334]

Took a couple months to finally get around to the chop and swap, but happy with the vastly improved braking after installing today! No perceivable flex with the rear locked up while bouncing on the cranks (probably helps being skinny and 5'8"), and managed to install over/around the fairing with minimal dremeling to keep the grime away from the brake. Will update down the road if there are any issues.

What mount did you use for the Tririg ?

Nicely done.
You did a better job with the fairing then I did. :-D

I'm curious..I think what you guys have done is awesome...can it also be done, or has anyone discussed about it being done on a Felt DA? I hate the rear break.

would you be willing to come up with one for me? Would love to put an Tri rig on the back

You’d have to reach out to the poster on that thread. I don’t have an IA to measure, fit, and test.

He doesn't want to sell or make any for others:( I understand why..but bummer
Is there anyone who has replaced their Evo rear brake that would be willing to sell me their old parts? New to the P4 family and hoping to keep it as original as possible whilst retaining the best possible functionality.
