Slightly firmer lever feel, and on paper slightly less power but that's barely noticeable. Had that before I switched a bike to full Maxima, haven't felt the difference ... Now a bike on Maxima and the other one has DRT levers and 612 calipers, pretty much the same power but much shorter throw (and firmer once the pads contact) on the 612.

The latest Stumpjumper rustled most people's feathers when it launched without routing for mechanical drivetrains. But did you really think that Specialized was that bold? As most suspected (or have seen leaked in this forum), an aluminum Stumpjumper has arrived with holes to stuff a cable. It also has their Genie shock, the same frame layout/kinematics, and geometry package/adjustments. I didn't see much else about the alloy variant that stood out. The coolest thing is that if you are a suspecting buyer, you can now get on the new Stumpjumper for just $3,000, which is $2,500 cheaper than the cheapest...

Yokes and yolks. Thanks for the yuks.

Tech rumors left the chat

I'm just here to say that I love transmission.

One thing to pay attention with those levers, the free stroke adjustment is just "push the piston in" while the lever stays in its stock position. So make sure the circuit isn't closed from the reservoir when the lever is at its resting position, otherwise it'll be problematic when the brakes heat up and the liquid slightly expands, or just when pads wear out and there's not enough oil in the circuit to compensate. If when the adjuster is all the way in, you can still bleed the brakes fine, all good. Which is why on the Hope brakes you...

next one that tells me that they're not a knock off gets a slap. regardless, for the price asked it would be really nice if they came with a Bite Point Adjustment tho, people shouldn't even think they need to do this

Slow retraction is a solid indicator of a fluid restriction. That can be from a deformed brake line or foreign object(s) blocking ports. Assuming you lubed the caliper pistons externally, I would not think of that as a leak but residual lube. barring a deformed brake line I would ping Sram tech support at this point. I think we can all agree you did your due diligence.

Opinions are like assholes. Neither one belongs in tech rumors.

No, your comment has been said a million times before and you were clearly just trying to stir.

I know you're joking, but nevertheless to me it looks like "mineral oil" is written on that bottle
