Mavens are working fine with galfer adapter up front with 203 and p20-2 is working fine as a 160 to 180. Got the bronzes on pro deal and didn’t want to spend any extra on new rotors and adapters. They are solid, highly recommended for ppl who want high power and low(ish) price.

Thank you! I might try a bit softer then. Its a regular bike. To be completely honest ive always been running tubes at 30psi on exo + casings so wasnt sure how soft i can go. Being used to the tubes i figured i could start semi conservative but maybe 23 front 25 rear would be a better start. Gonna be my first time running tubeless and dont know why i didnt switch earlier

8/3/2024 4:00am After 4 weeks of usage (plenty of park days, couple of races) can't see (or even measure) any uneven wear, but looking at the pads/rotor, you are right that the pads do hit the fins slightly. Lets see if I can hunt some thin spacers down and if those make any difference in power/sound/wear. But working properly at least for...

8/3/2024 3:55am I'm roughly 88kg (195) kitted up running 22psi, regular bike and specialized gravity casing, which is stronger yeah but feels like you are still going too high on pressure? But if it works for your terrain/speed/hits its all good.

8/3/2024 12:50am Can't say about maguras own pads, but at least magura caliper, galfer pad, shark rotor the wear is even on the pads. (or im just lucky that the pads are aligned perfectly without doing anything special to them) What's the minimum thickness of a galfer pad? Can't seem to find any recommended number for it.

A lot of talk about the Contis recently. I've ran the Kryptotal F-R Enduro Soft version for a few months since I was curious about them. Pretty easy to mount and inflate. The mechanical grip is there but the tire leaves very much to wish for in the wet. The soft compound is harder than both Maxxis Maxxterra and Schwalbe Soft in my opinion. The tires works well in the dry, but as soon as it gets wet the front really wanders around a lot. I hope the SuperSoft compund is better. The soft compound is definitly better for durability...

8/2/2024 11:11am Shark rotors are worth the money. Been using mine for about 4 weeks, done two big races and they feel amazing and straight as hell, which ofc helps with my magura brakes too..

7/11/2024 10:34am Gravity T9/T7 2.3 Good for the everyday trail use and park but Cannibal is still my go to race tire in rear too.

When three of history’s greatest DH riders are on their big bikes, fully padded and in full face helmets…to rock up on in a tshirt and half shell on an enduro eeb…this is true heroism!

7/11/2024 10:09am Ran the 2024 edition of Michelin Wild Enduro MS (front & back) and Wild Enduro Rear for about 2-3months, some thoughts: - Rear is fast, great for park, really liked this - MS side knobs are wobbly, can't recommend this anywhere else except than when it really is loose, just didn't find the trust with this - After a couple...

6/24/2024 11:30pm Everyone keeps saying that Kryptotal R rolls better than their competitors, haven't had the opportunity to ride them yet myself.

I wish Specialized would confirm if they have special casings and rubber just for the Cannibal. I haven't ridden them, but everyone mentions they are stickier and tougher casing than a Grid Gravity Butcher/Eliminator T9. Would make sense- Cannibal for DH and EDR racing, other Grid Gravity tires (Butcher/Eliminator) for normal people enduro riding.
