Also, I'm sorry

Bike tech is a circular cycle. You know what else is a circular cycle? Crab.

The weightweenies thread that was linked earlier with the XTR Di2 is now updated with the new XTR brakes as well. Looks nice https://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=171477&start=60

Should this be renamed to "Tech Rumors and Innovation, until a brand asks for posts to be deleted"?

The real fix for headset routing is no headset routing.

Check out Poirot over here! Fine detective work sir. It's not like we haven't been talking about it for the last 10 pages.

Scott can get fucked.

I like how the idler is tucked up nicely on the Atherton bike.

Maybe the real Tech Rumors and Innovation were the friends we made along the way.

Here’s a rumour: Fox and Rockshox are both working on something new. Bravo kiddo Let’s state the obvious. Is this really the level that we’ve sunk to now.

You’re not posting rumours. You’re just gossiping and stirring. Either post something useful and insightful or don’t bother. The “I’ve got a secret but I’m not telling anyone” is just a bit pathetic and more than childish. It’s fine if you can’t say anything, but if that’s the case just be a adult and shush. This thread is clogged up enough as it is. Lets face it, every major player is working on something so we can all post that quite easily!

It's just water/moisture getting pushed out from above the membrane. It's normal.

Cleaning pistons is good general maintenance and makes a difference in the seal longevity and helps clear up the bores of any material that might lead to corrosion build up, but I'd just go ahead and order one of the aftermarket rebuild kits on Amazon/Ali and swap the pistons and seals out. Then you'll be well able to clean the piston pockets, ensuring less likelihood of corrosion build up. Those kits work well enough and are cost effective, so if you're going to disassemble a caliper you may as well rebuild it with fresh seals and pistons. Air compressor works...

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?

Ah, yes, I’ve been concerned there aren’t enough choices in the stem category.
