God you all need to stop wasting your beers cleaning up brake fluid. IPAs supposed to make the brake jobs more enjoyable.

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.

2/10/2025 7:45pm Sinter Greens. Haven’t run TS’s but out of MTX, Red’s, Golds, both Hayes compounds and Galfer greens, the sinters are the best I’ve used. Run them on A4’s and Kaha’s with the new SE05 TRP rotors on one bike and Galfer Waves on another. Dead silent and more power regardless of how wet it is. Only have a few hundred...
RoJo1 Liked a forum topic Front DH Tyres Accurately Timed: Kryptotal vs Assegai vs Magic Mary vs Vigilante vs Plus+

Hey all! I did a whole heap of tyre testing last year at Bike Park Wales. The aim was to accurately measure which were quickest, based on multiple timed laps. I had always intended to make this video in case anyone finds it interesting or helpful, but only just got round to making it. Hope you enjoy it, let me know what you think, and whether any of this lines up with your experience. I was extremely surprised by the results... The tyres on test were: Continental Kryptotal 29x2.4 DH/Supersoft Maxxis Assegai 29x2.5 DH/MaxxGrip Schwalbe Magic Mary 29x2.4 DH/Ultra Soft...

First let me say this is an awesome and informative thread so keep it up because I want to learn more. Now, my inner 10 year old that I can't seem to control, who knows very little about trophy trucks other than they are the coolest thing on the planet, and desperately wants a Raptor because its the closest thing he'll ever get to one, wants you to know he spent his entire birthday money on this in 1989.

1/16/2025 1:15pm You are correct, you did say counterpart. In the example that you gave the reason why is correct for certain applications, but I can guarantee that it's not neat PEEK, i.e. unfilled virgin PEEK. Most likely its carbon or glass filled with ETFE or PTFE added as a lubricant, but I would bet that more often than not its PPS...

1/13/2025 12:45pm Careful there, PEEK, PAEK, and PEKK are not replacements for any alloy steel or SS. Compressive strength of any of the PEEK materials in the family is between 13-18KSI in a neat form, no glass or carbon fill and generally will not ever be over 25KSI without significant carbon fiber loading. PEEK is one of the most expensive thermoplastics, and...
Ryan Burney Liked a forum topic MTB Compliance Analysis: Danny Hart's Modified GT Fury Frame
1/6/2025 8:08am
Danny Hart's GT Fury caught a lot of attention this past World Cup season as it had some notable structural frame modifications to increase compliance. Dale, Danny's mechanic, is a veteran frame engineer and had some great ideas on how to fine tune Danny's bike to work best for his style and to eke out the literal hundreths of a second needed to win races. If you haven't seen these mods, check out this quick section of Vital's PIT BITS video here. Let's dig into each modification. This will be extra fun because I was fortunate enough to be the...

12/30/2024 3:42pm Something doesn't sound right; I would reach out to Taylor. I can pull a vacuum strong enough to collapse the syringe line and not start sucking bubbles. Just out of curiosity what bleed kit are you using? I tried using an older Jagwire kit when I first got the brakes and ran into issues with the tapered port not sealing...

12/30/2024 10:40am Definitely a bleed issue... I've been on the new, with contact point adjustment, brakes for about 6 months now. If you are not degassing the fluid before doing the bleed, you should. I also use fresh fluid on every bleed, I dont re-use old, opened containers (assuming that you are using DOT) The lever is pretty good at trapping bubbles...

12/4/2024 11:12am My favorite conti setup has been DH SS Argotal in the front and the KRF DH SS in the rear. Rolls better, than the KRR and has really good braking grip in the soft loamy/dusty/loose conditions. The Argo in the rear works well but doesn't brake as well and rolls noticeably worse. Not the best setup for loose over hard...

11/28/2024 1:14pm When you ran the MM SDH tires in the past did you also run the same pressure 28/25? Many years ago when I was younger, early 20's I ran MM dh casing tires and loved them. I recently tried running the TC in the SDH casings and thought they were pretty bad from a casing support and damping point of...

Give a review on what the effects of changing the fluid are like. A while ago there were some theories that brake feel could be impacted by fluid choice too. Kahas are the perfect brake to test this out.
