Most guys I know on e bikes are either 50+ or in shape bike riders who use it as a training or trailbuilding tool.

Sorry for the delay, I missed your reply. Formula was hinting in the comments on PB ( https://www.pinkbike.com/news/spotted-formulas-air-shock-for-enduro-bik… ) about it, and I had someone who used to work for their US distributor say that they expect the new forks this year.

Thanks friend. I guess it was time to make an account after all, haha. To clarify a few things: - Yes, the title is abrasive, but I feel that I’ve justified that opinion in (too much) detail throughout the video. I’m not on YouTube to make money, considering I make less than C$4 RPM after tax. I also never pushed my resume/background in my video. - After I connected the rear brake, I cycled the pistons to probably 50% of what was recommended in the manual to ensure they were moving smoothly, which they were. I noticed minimal difference between...

Bigger pistons doesn't equal more power is kinda the answer here. The other part is that sram is mass manufacturing these parts, so theryre designed with a lot more variance in production and therefore heavier, than much much smaller scale high end machining than trickstuff are doing. I honestly think all the big brand brakes are excellent currently, they're just all different. TRP, Hayes, Trickstuff, Magura are all excellent products. With Shimano and sram kinda a step below that quartet, which is what you would expect for a mass manufactured product.

He's not just some random YouTuber. He's a damn good rider and an engineer who's worked in the industry. I don't buy the double rotor thing as being responsible for the lever force. Sounds to me like that's to get all 4 pistons advanced evenly and to condition the piston seals. Hayes told me to do something similar with the pad spacer (insert spacer after installing pads, pull and hold lever for 15+ sec). Having done and not done this, it didn't change the lever force, just the brake power. Unevenly advancing pistons reduces power. The stiff lever pull design...

Tha combined with the mounting a shifter issue... when he is using a matchmaker brake clamp backwards with an i-spec shifter.... how about mount the shifter to the clamp the brake has, or use a lower profile clamp in the correct direction... everything about that was a mess

Seems like he's running into the same issue encountered in the Vital review, but didn't take the time to troubleshoot. The Mavens do have an extra step now, which requires a few cycles of the pistons to get things primed and set into place. The initial setup requires two to three cycles of the pistons through their full range of motion to help the two-step seals settle into place and center. I made the genius decision of ignoring this step on my initial setup and can confirm it is necessary. After referring to the troubleshooting portion of the owner's manual...

Formula put out some preproduction DC Selvas a couple of years ago, and rumor has it they'll be released this year. Weight was in the 2.3kg range, Chris Porter from Geometron loved his.

@Onawalk it's kinda like reach is not the right metric for bike sizing if you have to pedal it 😂 @nskerb peperridge farm remembers dual crown Sids 😜

My zeb 29 @170 with a smashpot (50lb spring) weighs 2900g. The push fork is not heavy for what it is imo.

Some moto forks do have springs in both sides but certainly not all. Some of the WP forks have an air spring on the left side and damper on the right. Other WP forks have springs on both sides. Just depends on the application.

Did anybody else notice that some of the athletes on the team are designated as DHI? Potentially a new Maiden or a run of Slayers with modification to the linkage/shock sizing?
