Bigger 6 bolt PCD is the next new standard big bike will force upon us to deal with the higher brake torque requirements of XL wagon wheels. You heard it here first!

I've been tempted many times to get a Gen 2 optic, there's still an impressive amount of them available brand new for decent prices, but it's just a little heavier/slacker than what I'd really like... Still hoping an M size spur might show up one day at a reasonable price !

I've converted to 200mm HS2 rotors for all my remaining Shimano brakes for performance benefits, but now I have a thousand 203mm mounts that I'm gonna have to either donate or shave 1.5mm off with the dremel....except I can't use them for Mavens because the caliper/pad touches Would've been nice to never have 203/223mm in the first place 🙄

Reya looks really nice, but man 7200€ for the lowest spec 🙃 I'll stick to my plans of getting a V1 Spur!

Other than the engagement feel, really can't a difference between both when it comes to descending. They both mitigate pedal kickback and let your suspension work more freely. If you have a DEG hub then get the DF kit. If you are in the market for a new wheelset with DEG DF then Reserve wheels is a killer cost effective option. If you already have a solid wheelset then get OChain. Also if you like to run a smaller <30T chain ring on a big heavy enduro bike then DT/e13 sidekick are really the only options. Lastly, servicing OChain is...

I've them on my two MTB for 2 months now because I got curious and it's relatively affordable. It works fine, too early to tell about sealant clogging issues. Only using the included adapter so far. I like that they work with a regular presta pump. One downside I could see if that if you're riding without a cap in...

Both of the stems you listed are cold forged, meaning they are forged at room temperature. As far as forging goes, this way is slightly more optimum for resulting grain structure/strength then flow formed or cast. Since the manufacturing method is the same for both of these stems, you're paying for the surface finishing of bead blasting and painted vs anodized. What you're paying for is the surface finishing to prep for anodizing and the anodized finishing. If you would add their top of the line Riza stem to the question/equation, then what you're paying for there is CNC machining...
