6/9/2025 3:18pm Id like to believe they are using a cheaper mold, ie ones that are not designed to handle thousands of frames. I remember a video of some brand talking about the 3 different setups, 2 different molds, ones for more prototype style testing and other for big batches. 3rd being a mold that isnt IP owned by a brand but...

6/6/2025 2:24pm 2.3? lewis but they are similar to the TRP r1. the newer r5 rotors are good. Otherwise there is plenty in the 2mm range.

6/6/2025 2:00pm in my experience of installing many sets, when you vacuum the caliper - make sure you only have the bleeding open a tiny bit and pull gently and smoothly. bonus tip, hold the caliper with bleeding edge upright and also move the pistons a little, this will help dislodge any stuck behind a piston.

that's just marketing bs to get you to get the new brakes, people have been doing that for years on older shimanos, it could just be a bad seal or a tolerance issue

Same tech, similar speed and a no clutch proper clutch setup BUT Quite a bit cheaper, Currently you can Get GX axs for half the price of the XTR kit - whats the benefit of XTR? I Feel they've gone for the "LOOK we have fast shifting" even though Sram...

6/4/2025 10:53am With shimano's new release, i cant help feel disappointed by the lack of Power increase(and no change in feel, other than no wandering point), still have to use big rotors and decent pads to get them up there with most other options. definitly not worth 'upgrading' if you put Putoline in your current X200 series

6/2/2025 2:38pm Brands sell alot of Medium and large sizes, a few small and hardly any XL. It makes zero sense to try make an XL ride like a Medium.. for starters the damn thing is long wheelbase, youll never change that. We ride the same trails, why should you take your XL bike down the same trail as a person on...

Yeah, it's pretty dumb, NZ seems to be getting blocked on a bunch of these videos for some reason. At least Staylive is pretty cheap and we get finals live.

How much of it is thinking one size fits all, and how much is figuring out the extra cost of size specific rear triangles isnt worth it for the few geometry nerds that would buy the bike under said condition ?
