Competitive Cyclist shared this electronic Transfer via email today (oops). I found this private page on Cambria's website via google. Maybe one of you nerds can figure out how to get better photos. idk.

I'll pre-empt the inevitable butthurt about the below by saying that all of these options are good. They are all powerful, all reasonably easy enough to work on, and all (mostly) consistent. I mainly say that because people adore Saints and I found them to be the weaker in almost every category compared to others, but still good. I'd also caveat that "power" is somewhat misunderstood IMO. Most people don't have the means to measure overall, total available power, rather they base it on how the brakes feel. A brake like the Maximas may have a ton of overall power...

5/9/2024 8:37am Oh there are plenty of Maximas available and their stock is miles better than what it used to be https://www.bike24.com/p2314798.html?searchTerm=maxima&source=SBP&index… $1176 USD + tax

The Trinity brakes are really really good. I've tried a lot of brakes recently (Code, Saint, MT7, Radic Kaha, Intend, Maxima, Maven, Dominion, Hope T4 V4, a few others I'm probably forgetting) and they are my favorite of the group. I strongly recommend them to anyone interested and willing to pay/run a niche product like that, with the caveats I mentioned above. They do take a little bit longer to sortof 'bed in' than others. The pads took longer than I was used to for the power to come in, but I also had a minor issue with the pad...

5/8/2024 7:49am Agreed with all the points for both brakes. As someone who ran all SRAM brakes for 7+ years I am still finding comfort with Trickstuff. I had a bad crash on the Intend because I accidentally grabbed a handful by accident and got sent OTB. It is 100% me but now I am a little hesitant to brake hard with...

I had both of these and can comment. As they mentioned, the Trickstuff brakes have a more linear power delivery. This means that a pull of the lever is going to gradually get you more power, it is there but it comes on a lot slower. Similar to Hopes, these have a sortof more vague bite point. I don't mean that in a bad way, just that unlike most other brakes other than Hope, there isn't a significant increase in force required to pull the lever once the pads engage. It's a very subtle feeling as you pull on the...

Triven 🤷 Seems to work OK, haven't ridden properly yet. Definitely a heavier lever till bite point. Then it seems to be really effortless to bring on power. But will have to see how it holds up.

they sure look well made, but i've read people claiming the finish is the same as Trickstuff, just by the picture (i've seen both in real life ) one must be blind to state that

5/6/2024 10:17am 140/130 bike: Intend Trinity with Trickstuff Power 850 pads and 200 + 180 SRAM HS2 rotors. Dead silent setup. No rub, buzzing or any noise under light of heavy braking. Crazy amounts of power and makes slow speed technical riding a lot of fun. I switched from Code Ultimate and kept the rotor/pads same. The difference was night and day...

Oh man, not going to lie I got a good chuckle out of the brake rub comment because its so true. I've run MT8 and MT7 and loved them both, except for the fact that they both like to have some form of brake rub at all times. Also I find them to be way better with their race compound brake pads. Magura rotors, however, are total trash. As far as my unsolicited 2 cents on Trickstuff vs Knockoffs, I have the same feeling about them as I do about cheep Chinese carbon wheels. Yes, they might be as good...

Mine is MT7, Oak Root lever pro, Trickstuff power pads, mdrp 220 front rotor and storm hc 203 rear ( soon to be replaced by a trickstuff HD 203 ) overall satisfied, i know these brakes inside out now, i love the look, the ergonomics, don't like the carbotecture, a cnc master would be better, a master where you can replace seals and piston ( same for the calipers ) would be even better and needed, this thing that magura does not sell parts drives me insane, so stupid.

5/2/2024 10:59am The caliper looks pretty unique and is more Hope than TS. The back the lever is machined differently. Master cylinder design is single block as opposed to Lewis copying the machined out "tunnel". It looks The fittings are different. Clamp design is also different (close to TS v1) and it doesn't use the extra brace like Lewis copied. Looks more...

first ride of the new YT tues is up on pinkbike. underwhelming is all that comes to my mind… bike looks the same 99% plus geo from 2020. using that diaper just to generate hype. the YT hypemachine strikes again IMO!

i wouldn't ever get them because of the unknown quality standards. if the first guides were deciding suddenly not to work i can't immagine what could happen with those, and when i need the brakes they need to be there, i'd rather pay trickstuff than some chinese crap
