This non Canadian has no idea. But not because of my nationality, I doubt I'd recogize any sports celebrities.

There are many worse things in MTB, as a for instance, cable tourism has entered the chat.

My Trickstuff Dirretesimas have been amazing for the past two years. Easy to bleed and lever feel is sublime. Everyone complains about cost and wait time with these. But no one complains about the end result… Still trying to get a good bleed on my Formula Cura 4’s and keep my Code RSC’s from fading on big bike park days. BTW, love the content Dave, Nick and crew put out!

All other things being equal, Factory and Performance Elite forks weigh the same (have I missed a joke?)

This is well written, well thought out, and I appreciate the sentiment. I have friends that backcountry snowmobile, and those that back country ski (I dabble in both when given the opportunity) I remember quite distinctly when snowmobiles became wildly more capapble at accessing backcountry peaks only accessible by massive effort (skinning up) or massive money (heli drop) the advancements in track length, lug depth, and sheer reliable displacement made for a big change in that landscape. Several backcountry heli companies never recovered from that

Confirmed Rumor: All my friends who bought ebikes are fat now.

Nothing wrong with that. Bikes are supposed to be fun

Thanks friend. I guess it was time to make an account after all, haha. To clarify a few things: - Yes, the title is abrasive, but I feel that I’ve justified that opinion in (too much) detail throughout the video. I’m not on YouTube to make money, considering I make less than C$4 RPM after tax. I also never pushed my resume/background in my video. - After I connected the rear brake, I cycled the pistons to probably 50% of what was recommended in the manual to ensure they were moving smoothly, which they were. I noticed minimal difference between...

The notion that it’s ok for MTB brakes to require high input forces because F1 does is pretty ridiculous.

That would be sick. He deserves to be on a team like that.

Maybe not 🤷🏼‍♂️

I think we have a Thread Winner!

Hmm?

What i don’t understand is how Trickstuff puts so much power in the Maxima in its size and Sram needs even bigger pistons and more material (more weight) to try and match them (which is yet to be verified). As for levers, am i the only one that finds the new Sram master cylinders/levers design bad to the eye? Being so close to the bar and in the same time longish makes the handlebar look much shorter and uglier!

The way he tested these is how 90% of consumers will use them. Grab bike from LBS or online shipping box... go ride without even as much as checking bolts. Most people aren't very mechanically inclined or don't have time/interest to think about this stuff. The question I have is will they eventually "break in" after a handful of hard rides even if the setup process was inevitably skipped (assuming that's the actual issue at hand).

or, since we all know sram levers feel like crap and are very stiff, he's just saying the truth?

Pretty brutal review of the Mavens. I saw other reviews that mentioned the lever pull, but not to this extent.
