Hello brake nerds. I subjected my partner and best friend to a year of brake swaps to get their opinions. We made a low production value video talking about our thoughts. I would also like to contribute some brake info because I actually took the time to disassemble and measure the master cylinder diameters. Really interesting how different the Lewis and Hayes feel with identical hydraulic specs. Lever geometry, leverage curve, return spring rate, seal friction, and pad compound all add up. Also I feel like formula would make a few running changes and be competing with the top dogs...

Ripley SL next Tuesday. teaser on the Ibis insta, you can see the general shape. This should appease all the dad shredders on MTBR who keep telling me the V5 is too much of a trail bike now.

Based on my experience, Specialized stock levels in Canada for sought after models is a joke. When the Epic Evo first came out, no Canadian shop had a sworks frameset available. I had to do a 10 hour round trip to the US, do two COVID tests to cross the border and pick one up. Funny enough the relatively small...

Everyone keeps talking about how long travel non-assisted bikes just aren’t selling. People are buying e-bikes in that category. I wouldn’t be surprised if they aren’t in a rush to fill that enduro spot. I saw something the other day, that said last year the blur and v10 were Santa Cruz’s best selling bikes without motors. The mid to long travel segments are really going to e-bikes these days. Wouldn’t be surprised if specialized isn’t the only one going oops we forgot about our enduro bike for a few years.

They used to make some really nice frames. Now it’s all made and designed so poorly. I can’t tell you how many things on the few I’ve owned that could EASILY have been improved or fixed with 5 seconds of thought. I could within 5 mins of unboxing my frame I found multiple disappointing features. It’s upsetting they charge premium prices for low grade quality. Still fun bikes if you get a discount but for full price you’re getting basically catalog frames with the lowest quality hardware. I went from a transition to a Santa Cruz (the frame cost 400...
