Yeah, that seems to be the general consensus, but I am wondering if their super soft holds up pretty well or if their soft is fine for some slightly wet root/rocks.

I keep hearing great things about Conti tires, excited to finally try them out soon. Does anyone have any experience with the difference between conti Soft and Super Soft casings? I'm going to be spending a decent chunk of time in Sea to Sky area soon and I'm wondering if Soft will be "fine" for grip when it gets a...

All sports have gotten more professional, especially the non traditional "stick and ball" sports, and because of that the entire field is significantly better than it used to be. Margins are tighter and there's just more "capital from investors" looking for a return on said investment. And even if these guys were training just as hard "back then" as they...
Just to offer a counterpoint: Mavens are, hands down, the best brakes I've ever used. Across all the TRP, Shimano, SRAM, and Magura I have owned, nothing has come even close. The adjustability to get the brake to feel how you want between pad material, rotor size, bite point and lever reach is outstanding. And while the brakes feel great...

I think the phrase is "just because its new doesn't mean is better" Anyone have any ETA on when the 38 Grip X2 Damper upgrade might be available? its now officially "mid June"
I swear this particular brake has been particularly cursed. The front one? Just fine, no issues with the bleed and everything has felt right from the get go. The rear brake however, has been the problem child. Even after a few full bleeds, and a bunch of other tricks, the rear pistons kept being extremely lazy and not fully retracting...

So I had this bike, and I think you'll like it. So good score on that front. Yes, you can run a non AI wheelset just fine on it, it just means things will be a millimeter or two off between your front and your rear, but not the end of the world. I got around it by just redishing...

Does a coil need less compression damping in the first 10% of its travel? As someone who's a big fan of higher LSC on coils this sounds... terrible. On a different note: there is wind there's some new wagon wheeled Ibises (Ibi?) on the way.

Yes, going to the gym helps. As someone who has been going to the gym to lift up heavy things for a while now I can firmly say: Bar roll and brake position absolutely matter. Bio-mechanical efficiency is the name of the game during sustained moments of exertion. With that, I'd be curious if anyone has tried improving their breathing...

Massive shoutout to Rob for this. It looks awesome and fixes the annoying rear sensor issue! Looking forward to getting my hands on one!
Oh man, not going to lie I got a good chuckle out of the brake rub comment because its so true. I've run MT8 and MT7 and loved them both, except for the fact that they both like to have some form of brake rub at all times. Also I find them to be way better with their race compound...
