You can get the correct DOT fluid in any automotive shop. For any DOT compatible brake. Good luck with that with mineral oil brakes. You have different oils WITHIN the same manufacturer (Shimano), let alone between manufacturers. I know I'm beating a dead horse at this point and derailling the thread at the same time, but sorry, I see ZERO benefits from using mineral oil vs. DOT fluid in brakes... If anything, also reading people's experiences about it, it's more complicated than anything, cleaning it up is a pain compared to DOT and the aforementioned issue of finding the correct...

As others noted, thanks for this in depth insight along with other comments. One more question. Podcast with Jeff when? 🙂 EDIT: actually a genuine question. Considering you have your own operation in Taiwan, how do you handle handlebars and stems? Is it also covered in house? Obviously I'm grateful for everything shared so far, but I am obviously interested in even more 🙂

I can comment on the inverse to your question. I put a Hydra wheelset on my ebike and the loud buzzing hub is the only noise I notice while riding now.

Hard pass. But best of luck to everyone that has a YT or is trying to get refunded or an actual bike that they ordered. Using Flossman as the centerpiece of your comeback press release is a wild marketing move.

Shimano has been on the “me too” cycle with mountain bike products for at least the last 10 years. It’s all just been reactions to what SRAM and others have been doing. Nominating them for any kind of award is just a hard no in my opinion.

Oh Spomer... those contracts were with the old YT company run by old YT CEO Markus. New YT company CEO Markus has no idea what you're talking about.
