same, prob due to the much stronger power and actually less lever force needed to get the power. this whole "stiff lever breakaway" argument does not hold up in my personal riding experiences with mavens. love em.

people complain about a stiff lever but i've had considerably less hand fatigue since I started using them, which was huge as I suffered from bad hand/finger/thumb cramps.

I'll brace for the downvotes, but at least explain my position. Dale's "review" was poor at best and at worst he propagated some new brake testing technique that means nothing, but seems like it does. For starters, I have major hand problems, in the sense that I haven't been able to ride in 7 months due to trying to let the nerves in my hands heal and may need 2 additional surgeries on top of the previous 2 I had just to regain the ability to ride and function, so hand fatigue is something I'm very familiar with. Most people...

Wasn't the initial issue with Dale's Maven review the fact that multiple setup steps outlined in the instructions were skipped and the resulting review was very negative based precisely on the negative experience said instructions generally prevent? I.e. lack of RTFM leading to a negative experience causing a negative review?

11/18/2024 12:05am Not super heavy, only race enduro recreationally, Mavens are my favorite brakes. Had Saints, Saint/XT Combo and Curas on my own bikes, have tried Maguras, Codes and Hopes on other bikes. Mavens are the first brake where I feel like I don’t need more power out of it and the modulation is still there. I found that I need to...

Dale's "experience" contradicts everyone else's. So much so that NSMB actually went out of their way to call it out. Ride them before you talk shit. His lever force test was pseudoscientific junk at best.

11/9/2024 2:18am Aston lists some of the problems in his review https://www.astonmtb.bike/reviews/nicolai-nucleon-supre-drive I disagree with him on many things regarding bicycles, but what he lists here seem like valid first generation product issues that need to be fixed for it to become a more widespread alternative to existing drivetrains.

11/1/2024 3:58am „ In today's market I'd bet my rear rotor that shitty, not suitable for trail, e-"MTBs" are skewing the numbers heavily.“ I can confirm this, at least in Europe.

To mark the official arrival of Crab Link as a thing. I did a thing you can install on your chrome based browser (basically completely 100% stolen from the cloud to butt plugin) I present Horst Link to Crab Link Chrome based plugin! https://github.com/DServy/horst-to-crab See it in action here! Edit: Please, no one actually use this.

9/20/2024 12:54pm Thanks I’ll give that a shot. I think I remember it being two full turns on the maven but might be completely wrong, haven’t watched the tutorial after the first time. My process (from fresh) was: - degas fluid in the syringes - do the standard procedure, pushing and pulling fluid through the system though I generally find that pulling...
