This tire is from a design that is probably older than you. Before the DHF was even a thing, a lot of us in here ran this tire and it was awesome. Except for when the side lugs used to tear super easy, but hopefully they fixed that.

funny shimano isn‘t coming out with an enduro spd pedal. love my saints but they‘re heavy as f* and the cages of the XT/XTR are a joke, make no difference. something in between would be nice, like the CB mullet-e to the mullet-dh is.

I'm not really sure what SRAM is going to do about the massage situation with the Mavens. They are eventually going to start trickling down into OEM builds and assemblers aren't going to do that procedure, it's something that should've been done at the factory, but my concern is that whatever it is doing needs to be done when the brakes sit idle for a while. Time will tell. I had no issues bleeding the Maximas. I know a lot of people reported problems, but they were fine the first time through for me. I usually double check the bleed...

Running Intends too, love them so much that I have them on both bikes now. Ran Hayes before the Intends, never had any issues with those either, until my wife demanded I hand over mine so she doesn't need to run the Codes anymore. Would like to add if something is easier to do, then it's probably also easier to do right - in this case bleeding the Intends was probably the easiest bleed I have EVER done. No massaging, no nonsense, just push the damn fluid in through the calipers and that's it. Hayes are pretty good in that...

I ran these before moving to Intends. I've also tried a bunch of other brakes. Most of the mtbr discussion is people dogpiling SRAM due to that youtube review by Dale Stone. I tried to offer some useful commentary there but eventually got tired of arguing with people who would never try them and just wanted to shit on SRAM (which I can relate to given my CS experiences with them). I'm not really sure where Enduro MTB got the power numbers from, I can say in terms of feel at least, the Mavens seem to have more power earlier...

I dunno, Josh was 14 seconds back on Dak on his race run and I'd expect him to be faster on an MX bike than a DH bike. Anyone else remember this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqBy1R7IMGE Fort Bill is pretty pedally by DH standards, with quite a few sections where you could open up an MX or Enduro motorbike. I'd also say DH bikes have gotten a fair bit quicker in the intervening years.

4/18/2024 12:31pm Enduro mtb mag recently updated their brake test - dynoing and testing a decent range of different brakes, including the Mavens. Seems like their actual performance might not match SRAM's marketing hype though - the most powerful brakes were the Hope V4 with Trickstuff 2nd and the Hayes Dominion won the test overall... Unfortunately I can't see that they've published...

I;m pretty sure with the Madonna you can have either the adjustable CS or UDH.

I never found the dropper button on my handlebars too hard to push. I think innovation is good but this is the wrong direction. Remember droppers just started to become good.
