Only because of tons of leaks, the bike was under embargo until today so technically dealers weren't allowed to discuss it and whatnot, so how people somehow got preorder allocations in, is beyond me. But it just goes back to people in the industry or being good friends with a shop owner..

Just spent the morning calling every Forbidden dealer in the US. No one has any frame sets on hand to sell, all special order 2+ months out. Couple complete bikes here and there but the value is laughably bad on the complete bikes. Most dealers also want payment in full for a 2+ month special order. Terrible launch imo. Every...

I totally agree, I have a set of WAO Unions that are still perfectly straight after 2 seasons of riding, and I prefer the steeper tech trails. Also just ordered a set of the convergence wheels w/hydra hubs for $1263 out the door with their march madness sale. The Raceface wheels looks nice but don't see any reasons to move...

FWIW I haven't heard a bad word about the performance of them from people actually trying them out... And they will be ridden in the world cup if that's any consolation at all. Probably not though.

I agree, every single owner I've spoken to who has actually tried Lewis brakes has nothing but great things to say about them. Great modulation, great power, nice construction quality etc. I'm very curious to try them myself next month. Everyone who has bashed them and called them cheap sweatshop made brakes, unsurprisingly has never even tried or seen them...
