Just get the whole Radic brake set and don't bother messing about with the Maven bits. They work so well as they are and don't require any piston massaging or other faff... 😜🙃

Yeah omakacycle does all sorts of fun brake experiments on IG. He claims short lever throw on that combo but I don't buy it. I haven't used the radic lever but it should be quite similar to the TRP lever. They are both axial cylinder, 9mm master cylinder, and have long levers for plenty of mechanical leverage. I believe radic achieves the minimal dead stroke their brakes are known for primarily through caliper piston seals that retract very little. They also use 2.3mm rotors, which IME seem to run more true than thinner rotors, leading to less pad rub and...

I'm here to nerd out on brakes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I ran both a fair bit and I do not like the levers far out. I kept the Intends and sold the Maximas. IMO the power provided by the Maximas is overrated. Yes, it's there, but you have to run the levers pretty far out to get it and that kinda defeats the point for me, anyway. If you look at photos in reviews, everyone running them has the lever out into space. The Intends give me more usable, available power without a long lever stroke. I don't like braided lines, either, and the Intends are easier to disconnect/move between...

Well that math doesn't instill much confidence. 37mm must round up to 40mm...

if you don't mind sharing what happened with Intend? maybe I missed your post in the forum? Thank you

But can you stand on it?

Not just uglier but the tilt adjust on the V1 is one of the best features on my entire bike. It looks like that goes away in V2.

lol, DOA

I can't believe we don't have an online conversion kit for reg posts using a servo that pulls the cable at the bottom of the post from anyone. Archer would have set the world on fire with that instead of half mechanical shifting.

Black marker may not be as sexy as fancy markings, but that never stopped me from returning to previous adjustments when playing with different parts or configurations.

One piece bar and stem need to be purged.

MMMM I do love me some $100 stems and $80 alloy bars. With all the big names on it, they have to charge those prices. Of all the things in the bike world that need a purge, apparel and contact accessory brands should be up there.

They are just fucking with us. Someone made a bet that form >> substance, again.
