I have hubs with center lock so I skipped Hayes rotors (only 6 bolt) and tried few options: - shimano icetech freeza discs (1.85mm): lacks power and preatty noisy - swisstop catalyst pro (1.90mm back/1.95 front) decent braking performance but warped and deformed a lot! Had to re-center the calipers after nearly every ride when with new brake pads. - Galfer shark centerlock (2mm): these are really good! Braking performance is outstanding, they stay true and are quiet. No rubbing issues even with new brake pads. Only cons imho is they cost a lot. All discs are 203 mm front...

Given my budget I am ok with incremental gains if it reduces the risk of...

6/29/2024 9:37pm I get that, although I haven’t calculated how available stem lengths would affect the fore-aft position of the grips relative to the rest of the bike, and I need to do that. The things I don’t understand are the impacts on what I’m experiencing if that was to change in combination with bar height (and I’m not even sure bar...

6/29/2024 8:57pm I’m trying to get the hang of some body position issues I’m having with my new bike, a size small Fezzari Delano Peak, and hoped for some advice. My previous bike was a Kona Dawgma I bought in 2009. I was in India for the last three years and didn’t mountain bike at all in that time, and got home...
