Something just seems a bit fishy about the Cast brand... I'm not buying into the picture of these top riders joining forces to come out with just this. :D

if money is not a problem then of course, Intend Trinity and Trickstuff Maxima must be at the top of the list, although the latter might nor have the shortest stroke, look at the Radic Kaha for that, all more powerful and of course higher quality than shimano, not sure about the 612 die bremse but they have the same size pistons and master as the maxima

@Spomer, can we please deviate the toe-clip topic to another thread, and make it in a slightly bigger default font?

No high pivot, no idler, no flip-chip, no bonded lugs, no belt, no cable tourism, only four bars and a single chain? Will they even be able to ride that thing?

It's almost like SRAM is in the business of making money and not to only please us!?! 😄

1/6/2025 3:59am Got a reply from Taylor. Long story short, he said that it’s normal that the brakes don’t hold a vacuum due to the design of the piston seals. This is the first time I’ve had this with any brake but I got a relatively good bleed by cycling fluid back and forth and then bleeding the lever with a cup...

Kiitos AnttiH for your replies. Has anyone tested the effects of fully cleaning the Shimano phenolic pistons? Is using compressed air the safest method to remove the pistons?

Haven’t given it a go yet and won’t for some time. I live in Finland and the proper riding season starts in late may.

1/1/2025 6:17pm Yes I’ve used adapters. Nothing wrong with them but it makes installing slightly more faffy. I haven’t used centerlock adapters with magura 220mm rotors. I won’t consider rotors from unknown manufacturers like sumart or other shit like that. Aside from hope vented rotors (which are too thick to work and also don’t fit the adapters), the mdr-p’s are one of...

1/1/2025 4:33am Running a bigger rotor achieves less finger force needed at the lever. But keep in mind that if you never get a 220mm rotor up to temperature, a 200mm rotor can have more power as it heats up faster. I’ve ran: Intend massive 223 Galfer Wave 223 Sram centerline 220 Sram HS2 220 Hope floating 220 TRP R1 223 Magura...

12/30/2024 3:56pm I’ve sent Taylor multiple emails to explain the issues. I’m using a Jagwire elite bleed kit, the same he sells on the website so I thought it would be best. I’m positive the leakage is not from the bleed kit since I can pull a strong vacuum with the same syringe on the rear but not on the front lever.

12/30/2024 2:32pm Also, what did you set the contact point adjustment to when bleeding them? My current issues are: Front brake reservoir membrane can’t handle pulling a vacuum. When I have a syringe connected to the lever and push positive pressure, it doesn’t leak from the vent hole. But if I pull on the syringe to create a vacuum, it sucks air...

12/30/2024 11:55am I’m running them with bionol so degassing won’t do me any favours afaik.

Definitely a bleed issue... I've been on the new, with contact point adjustment, brakes for about 6 months now. If you are not degassing the fluid before doing the bleed, you should. I also use fresh fluid on every bleed, I dont re-use old, opened containers (assuming that you are using DOT) The lever is pretty good at trapping bubbles, and they can be a pain to get out. Once you have pushed fluid from the caliper to the lever, close the caliper and pull a good vacuum from the lever syringe. I made a "tool" that lets me pull...

12/30/2024 9:37am Do you have any tips for me? I bled them like this: -Removed from bike. -Wound contact point adjuster almost all the way out (there’s no stop in the adjuster at the fully wound out point). -Pushed fluid from caliper up to the lever. -Cycled the fluid back and forth about 5 times. -Pushed out piston against a 4mm hex...
