The Lewis parts have arrived! Fitting was straight forward, aside from the lever needing a tiny bit of filing to make it clear a part of the master cylinder body. I now have adjustable bite point on my Maximas. The adjustment range is really good, when maxed out there's only about 10mm of free stroke. In the photos both levers reach has been set to the same distance from the grip. On the front is the Lewis lever with the bite point set to the maximum and on the rear is the original Trickstuff. There's a good 15mm of difference...

OK, we're fully derailing this, but let's conclude the discussion anyway 😀 The pivot is NEVER going to be above the line between the CoG and the rear axle. Imagine what that bike would like like. Here are some crude drawings I made to illustrate how anti-squat works. First, we have to understand what causes the bike the squat. The force introduced by pedaling makes the rear wheel turn, pushing backwards against the ground (blue arrow below). This causes the bike to accelerate (red arrow at the wheel). Because this force is applied way below the center of mass (the...

So as was sort of pointed out a bit earlier in this thread... Dak's interview confirms that the High Roller 3 (at least DH version) is on the new un-announced Maxxis casing that they've been developing for a while. I'm sure partially or wholly in response to Continental. Neko mentioned that Maxxis was working on casings for a while but they weren't going to be ready for the 2024 season so they went to Continental for the higher performance envelope of their tires. I'm assuming Maxxis is tooling up to get the DHR2 and Assegai ready to ship with this...

Yep. They seem pretty good. I feel like it's a pretty optimum rotor shape. Everything I've tried similar works well too. I have one real brake burner of a run that'll be good to give them a real hiding on once it opens again.

The power is similar, without using the same pads it's hard to say exactly. You have to overfill them a little to work, but yes a BPA will help. I reckon a 2.3 rotor would be mint too.

Nice work. It is a shame TS maximas have that mad throw to them. It's also kinda niggly their power curve changes so drastically with reach adjust too. IMO they've dropped the ball a little now the competition has stepped up their game. I'd hoped their recent release was going to be something useful like bite point adjust rather than...
