Biggest mistake was replacing my Fox Factory 38 with the Zeb Ultimate 3.0 Just recently upgraded to the 3.1 piston, lighter compression tune and fast rebound. Hopefully I can get it to feel decent.

2/10/2025 2:50am Same for me, always goofy on skate-/snowboard but I ride left foot forward on my bike.

1/7/2025 11:53pm My friends recent radial tire, after a handful of rides the delamination was real. Could of course be manufacturing error but his take on the radial tires was that they were too bouncy and not compliant enough. I personally love the Ultrasoft versions but I'm not jumping on the radial hype train, for now.

I agree with your comparison of Super Gravity to DoubleDown. I think DoubleDown feels a bit dead/soft for an enduro casing, and I enjoyed Super Gravity more. Between SuperGravity, Michelin enduro, and Conti enduro, all were solid to me and I'd have a hard time saying one was better from a damping/rim protection perspective. I'd pick one based on tread pattern and price.

Been running enduro/soft 2.4"s on my trail bike for well over a year, no real complaints other then waiting for Conti to get off their ass and release the enduro/super soft iteration.

honestly i believe that the Super Trail is something in between Exo+ and DD to name a famous chasing, i can run mine up front at 18psi everywhere, even in super rocky and dry Italian dolomites or West Slovenia were there's plenty of super sharp pointy rocks with no issues at 82kg, not the fastest or hardest rider but i have a preference for nasty lines

really? i always felt that the latest super gravity is very stiff and has a damp feeling compared to double down, Michelin enduro chasing, Conti enduro which are more soft and supple both by touch and on the trail i could always run 2psi less in the back compared to all the other chasing mentioned, always as a rear. tried all pressures on all these but settled on 24psi with the super gravity ( both Hans and Mary ) and 26 on all others as anything below that i was hitting the rim on rocks.

That sounds weird because grid trail and exo+ are lighter and thinner than supertrail, radial trail or supergravity. I rode grid trail and supertrail back to back with similar pressures and the rim impacts with grid trail compared to supertrail sounded and felt way worse.

12/3/2024 3:51am Great to hear! That wasn't my question though 🙂 I havn't experienced the wandering bite point in my last 5 sets of Shimano brakes either and like them a lot.

Love Shimano and can’t wait for their new XTR/Saint brake to be released. I’ve Never had an issue with wandering bite on any of mine (expect my 3 year old Zees where you could see fluid ooze from the master) and every single one (that came through my workshops) we were able to fix with a decent bleed. Saw some failures form use of incompatible fluid though. You can get any brake to wander with a shite bleed, no maintenance and neglect. Why is it with mineral oil brakes people use any fluid except that which is recommended, whilst no...

Can't comment on the shimano levers, but my levers for magura are amazing. You should contact OAK and ask, they can help you.

12/2/2024 2:05am Everyone seems to hate Shimano brakes in this thread but I will give it a shot. I recently acuired the Oak Components SH Levers for my SLX M7120-set. Initially I havn't been impressed at all, the levers feel sticky and there is a lot more "dead stroke" before the bite. Brakes are bled correctly and worked flawlessly with stock levers...

A few things regarding tyres that I haven't found answers for so many years already: - 99.99% never think of mixing brands - this gives you endless combinations because front and rear tires have different needs anyway, why not different brand? For decade now, I haven't found a better combo than Magic Mary front, DHR II rear. Mary is the ultimate front tire and has almost no drawbacks (apart from not perfect on loose over hard), the only tire that works on everything and you only take it off when it's time for new one. Also something noone ever acknowledged...

the argotal in SS is excellent in the wet. Also be aware the conti carcass is quite stiff so you can use lower pressure to assist the 'soft'

I might have to give the super soft a try. Im trying enduro soft in the front first and dh soft in rear but might switch out the front to a dh super soft if that doesnt feel great on our trails. Never ride in the wet here cause the clay turns so slick its like riding on ice.
