Putting tires on my bontrager line DH is a rage inducing exercise. It took me two people and 30 minutes of swearing to get a Schwalbe Albert on the rim.

Meanwhile, suspension designs from 30 years keep winning every DH world...
Has anyone here mixed shimano levers with maven calipers? I want maven power with the shimano lever feel, and I'm wondering if the shimano servowave levers will push enough fluid that I won't end up with absurdly long deadstroke on the levers.
