Unpopular opinion but transmission is a clear/undeniable benefit over any existing cable stuff

I've ridden a lot of brakes over the years and most recently been on TRP Trail and DHR EVOs. I have been enjoying the Direttissimas quite a lot so far. You can definitely tell as soon as you pick them up that they are super high quality. Everything is smooth and there is no vertical play in the lever. I only have a few weeks on them so far but I have been quite impressed. On long descents they do not pump up and the bite point remains consistent. Power and modulation are very well balanced and I had no...

Trickstuff brakes are simply the best brakes you can buy. I own both the Direttissima's and Maxima models, and both are incredible. The Maxima's feature a slightly longer lever blade, a larger caliper body, and have a larger brake pad surface area, resulting in a significant more power between the two models. The Maxima's require such little lever force that they effectively eliminate any arm pump providing you with endless laps in the bike park. If you have the means... purchase a set!

Because Specialized handle it so well. Whereas a lot of other brands begrudge warranty and make any claims an absolute ballache. The amount of failures is also directly related for the amount they sell too. Proportionally it’s probably very similar to everyone else.

I am also riding a set of Direttissimas but will withhold my opinions on the brakes as I am a DT Swiss employee 😆. Great review Johan, glad you are enjoying them

In the world of costly bike parts, Trickstuff has always had a special aura around it. Unapologetically dedicated to building the finest brakes money can buy, this German company makes a premium product and charges a pretty penny for it. We wanted to look past the sticker shock to find out if they also deliver value for money – keep reading to find out how we’ve been getting along with the Direttissima. Strengths Weaknesses Incredibly well-made product Smooth action Great ergonomics Very powerful Great modulation Consistent, dependable performance Quality and durability No bite point adjustment (only reach) The lever...

My 2004 Santa Cruz V10 had a floating arm as well. My Transition Blindside had one around 2008. These existed to overcome a variety of brake/suspension induced characteristics. There was even a company that made them for a variety of bikes. Brake Therapy. What was old is new again: tall bars, pulley wheels, floating brake arms...

So...this is more general than Les Gets, but anyone ever try the Risk Racing remote control Roll Offs. In moto, you can pull a tear off or tug a roll off over jumps & on straightaways. But in DH, you're never in the air that long. Would be far better for a DH racer to push a button than risk a hand off. https://riskracing.com/products/the-ripper-motocross-goggle-roll-off-sy…

On site facilities like bathrooms, water etc are all issues. Shuttles and parking would also be issue with spectators and large field of riders.

5 of 7 2024 World Cup DH races are in the books, Worlds is on the horizon and riders are definitely talking with brands if they're looking for a new ride. Let the gossip begin.

They redesigned their M10 this year so maybe just rather have the guys in the latest and greatest. Their DH Missle helmet hasn't changed in years, for a while it wasn't even for sale but looks like they have some new colors and such now. Ive held and worn almost all the DH helmets and the FOX RPC blows them all away with fit and how strong and stiff it is. I took a huge hit in my last one and no concussion and it only cracked in one about dime sized area. The RPC feels like a slightly smaller...
