Haha, I definitely am. Just to reliable and perfect working. I've heard the stock pads kind of suck too. They seem fine to me but I've heard claims of a 15% power increase with aftermarket pads.
Wow, they feel so good I'm not going to bleed them until I need new pads I think, and then a fresh bleed should make them feel even more incredible!
Ok, so I've been having a big problem with skipping in my drivetrain, my chain line is perfect so I'm a little confused. Could it be the hub skipping? Also the chain tensioner I have been running is super flimsy and bends when I pedal, could that cause it? My uncle just sent me a new Yess ETR-D which is about as good of a chain tensioner as you can get so hopefully that will help, we'll see though. Any suggestions?

I bet it is your chain tensioner. Also be sure you are running the right spec chain for the drivetrain. Using something too thin will let it move side to side more.

I have just been running a 9 speed chain, shortened to the right length. I have a Yess ETR-D chain tensioner coming tomorrow so hopefully that will help. So you think it might be the chain?
It very well could be. Chains are designed for derailleurs (hence the different speeds). If you use a nine speed chain, it will be substantially thinner and more flexible laterally compared to a single speed designated chain. You could be having it slip on your rear chainwheel. It could also be a bend in the chain, a bend in one of your chainwheels, or your tensioner's groove (assuming it is roller style) is too wide. This would let it vary side to side.
Hi guys, thanks for the heads up. Regarding the KS seat post, yes so far so good no issues yet. TR250 frame don't have the cable guide on the top tube so I got to figure out a way to run the remote seatpost cable, you can see in the picture I posted. The reason I'm using dropper post is because I'm using the bike for light XC riding and shuttling. Same reason as why I'm using the Hammer Schmidt so that I can easily cycle the bike.
