I'm around 105kg, and in my experience, Saints and the current XTR 4-piston are amazing for steep terrain. I was surprised the SLX brakes are as far off from the power of every other Shimano 4-piston brake as they are. I assumed weight was the only difference until I found myself pulling the lever as hard as possible frequently. That...

The corner gap starting at 5:55 is a great example of what makes WCDH so great. These guys are nailing such an insane balance of speed, style, and sketch. Beautiful, thrilling, and inspiring to watch.

I just love how they've got the most one-off frame, a bunch of secret suspension stuff going on, and a clump of black electrical tape holding it all together I'm sure it's there just to hide what's beneath, but it sure does look hodgepodge

Just hopped on Fantasy (didn't do 1st round). Just gotta say props to the guys who built up the format on here. Much easier to use system than the other site's fantasy selection.

I was born in Poland, but I grew up in California....spent 40 years there. Now I'm back in Poland...as luck would have it....in Bielsko-Biała. For the past 3 years I've been riding most of the trails that'll be used at the event. Prior to that, my resume includes mostly Skegg's Point and Braille in the Santa Cruz Mountains, a run down Mt. Lemmon outside of Tuscon, and some Tapia Canyon (Castaic, California). I'm old and mostly ride motorcycles with MTB stuff peppered in here and there. Nevertheless, I think I have some unique credibility here. So if you will endulge...

On the EWS "complaint", a top 20 EWS female rider would stomp a fitness mud hole in most people. If an elite athlete has no time for water between climbs, that's not trivial. That is not weakness. And the "season" isn't sneaking up on anybody. Promoter crammed too much of one thing in and not enough of another.

I noticed the same thing and thought that was a bit of a strange move, especially considering other athletes on the Norco team are running Oakley too.

As a longtime Shimano brake user, I have the same sentiment. It's amazing how much you can change brake lever feel by getting the caliper really really lined up and also by truing the rotor well. When you're manually pushing back on pistons to balance their speed, are you doing it with the rotor in? Or using the rotor to center the caliper and then pulling the rotor out for dinking with individual pistons? FWIW I've ridden or pulled brakes on many of Jonny's bikes and the lever feel is always sharp and balanced. Top notch. The man knows what...

I'll use the rotor to do it with the wheel installed. It's important to make sure the pistons are moving in and out easily before pressing against the rotor to center the pistons, otherwise you'll just be sitting there bending the rotor. On a new/lightly used set of brakes, I'll do some form of the "piston massage" procedure by removing...
