I killed a set of Trickstuff power in a day doing a spicy version of the Sellaronda Hero, 90km and 7120mt of downhill I’m not mad about it, on normal riding they last heaps more I can kill a set in a couple park days tho ( 10/12k mt of downhill ) Hope race, I took them off honestly, same rotors as you and pads but on V4 brakes, too noisy, I just put the Trickstuff Standard and just bedding them in so far they’re silent as How was the noise on the Kahas with those pads/rotors?

hope green are awesome pads... called race pads for a reason. I normally get a couple of park days from a set BUT if its wet you will destroy them very fast like you've experienced. Galfer purple works well as a replacement an last a hell of alot longer. im 4 months on my galfer purples and the rear is basically toast, More than likely ill swap Pads and rotor to rear and get new ones for the front.(8 park days + a heap of local riding + some Queenstown wet laps and thats abrasive asf)

4/28/2025 2:16pm Re: Hope Green Pads Recently, last Thursday, installed a set on my Kaha’s with SE05 rotors. Got 3 days of riding in over the weekend with a whopping total of 6800’ of decent, and pads are toast, worn almost down to the backing plate… riding was very, very wet and the dirt is a clay that does generate a lot...

Hey everyone, this is TJ. Tariffs aren't fixed to factory cost, or wholesale or retail. They're calculated based on the specific transaction price. The example we used is accurate for an ecomm purchase, shipped from our warehouse in Canada. If a retailer ordered the same short and we charged them half the price ($100), the same tariff percentage would apply, so tariffs would be $145 for a total cost to the retailer of $245. If the retailer sells that short to a customer and maintains their dollar margin the short would be $345 to the end user - however if...

I hope that tarrifs get presented to us consumers in the "resort fee" or "service charge" itemization fashion for as many products as possible. With that reality staring people glaringly in the face, it will show the remaining sheep that stay aggressively igornant, exactly what the choices of the executive branch are costing them. That will of course be difficult, similarly to the example being discussed above where a dtc brand may pass the tarrif through on a 1/1 basis, but a wholesale/distributorship model has a quadratic price increase as it passes through the line. Maybe if people see the...

Some of you never rode when we had no clutches so the loose, flopping chain smashed against every part of your aluminum bike and the fork knocked in the 1 1/8th head tubes and then echoed through your monocoque frame and it shows. I can barely hear my current bike compared to the 3rd grade marching bands on wheels we used to ride pre-2012. I didn't even know you could hear what your tires were doing for the first 10 years I rode.

4/18/2025 10:52am It's the piston sizing, the base has lower hydraulic leverage with 4 18mm pistons vs the rest of the lineup with 2 19.5mm and 2 18mm pistons. Its a lower power brake by design. How big are the pistons in Maven Base brakes? – SRAM

As somebody who's tested this variable back to back on the same chassis (not two totally different forks), the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. Maybe we need to do a fork stiffness deep dive like the excellent frame compliance analysis Burney did. But in short, forks also have roll and wag. Everyone usually thinks of only wag and they test it with the wheel between the legs, but I'd argue this is only a valid indicator of stiffness during full braking on dry pavement. In this situation, the hex axle can offer a small benefit in reducing wag, but in...

+1 on the horse issue. They’re literally the single most destructive/disruptive user group I can think of (post holing and eroding everything they touch, shitting everywhere, easily scared, etc.) but they get minimal flack as far as I know because the user group is mainly rich old heads that have more influence over public land use in most places. I also think a lot of these issues would be alleviated if local govt/land managers would allow/invest in more mtb specific trails and infrastructure. You look at areas like Bentonville Arkansas, Knoxville, TN and lots of other southern/southeastern cities where mtb...

It's great that there's competition at the top of the safety charts. POC shells haven't fit my head shape whenever I've tried them on in the past, but Fox does. I'm sure the opposite applies to other people, so competition means more good options for people.

Shout out big privilege, he's a good dude. Always up at mountain creek, just a normal dude that likes riding bikes (with a rap career). I love that it he brings representation for a minority in our sport.
