Not to be a Debbie-downer here, but why on earth would I want to bolt that to the bottom of my P4? The P4 rear brake isn't the greatest thing ever, but it's passable, and more importantly is very clean aerodynamically. This thing, while it's a tremendous engineering exercise (it really is a nice bit of engineering) is aerodynamically hideously bad. I can't see why, on a tri bike, I'd want to make that trade-off for perhaps slightly better rear braking?
From my understanding, it's less an issue of poor braking as it is an issue of the v-brake (both original and Evo) that are made for the P4 require constant adjustment to prevent from rubbing on the rim. This is an issue common to
all v-brakes, but the narrow width of the P4 v-brake increases rubbing. So, I'm going to imagine that having brake rub nearly every pedal stroke is worth addressing.
I love the idea of having the adapter cnc'd. Further, I'd like to see a 3D printed cover that attaches to the cnc machined adapter, and fits the Tririg and Magura brakes.
Good luck, and great work. I look forward to seeing the final product.
now, to comment on braking: I've used DA, Red, Campy, EE rim brakes, and the Magura hydro-rim brakes are a dream to use - the ratio between lever movement and pad movement is perfect.
