Definitely going to take a look at them. Hard to say what all will really be possible until can see what the pad retract numbers are. There are some specific things I want to try that could work out quite well knock on wood.

MTB hydraulic brakes are a sensitive and complex system. I don’t think we give them enough credit for what they do, and how well they do it. But you’re going to lose me when you admit that “probably yes” you shouldn’t have “skipped a step” during install/setup.

The other part of the equation is master cylinder piston diameter. The smaller it is the more leverage it has over the pistons in the caliper. Think of it like you had interchangeable dropouts on your bike and you added 100mm to the rear end of your bike, that’s going to increase the leverage on the shock. The lower the amount of fluid moved for the same amount of piston movement/lever movement the more hydraulic leverage the master has. Hayes use a 9mm bore in the dominions (as far as I know) which is why they have very high hydraulic...

@CascadeComponents any thoughts on potentially producing an aftermarket set of cams for the Mavens? I feel like some of the complaints people have had could be tuned out on your end. I've been running your cams in my Codes for a season or so and really enjoy the advanced bite point.

I haven't ridden Shimano in a few years due to hating the wandering bite point but I have been lightly pressuring my code R/RSC's for a few seasons now with no adverse side effects to the bladder/performance. That being said, it is a very light amount of pressure, I only weigh 160 with gear, and I don't ride a ton...

Overfilling a brake is a bad idea. If/when the fluid heats up and starts expanding, it will run out of space in the reservoir. With no place to go, it starts to pump out the caliper pistons, engaging the brake making it a closed circuit. It heats up more, expands more, engages the brake more until something gives. That could be a boil over, where the fluid gasses out and all braking is lost or it could find the weakest seal and start leaking. Most folx I've heard who overfill their brake are looking for quicker engagement. If that's the...

I've found it's hard to go wrong with an EXO+ or DD DHRII, but as of late, I've been able to get my hands on a few takeoff 2.5 in Bontrager XR4, SE4, and SE5's for 30-50 CAD through FB and PB buysell. I was willing to risk potentially lower performance to avoid paying120+ cad for warped Maxxass stuff. I...

Curious as to how they will approach the new trend towards HBO platforms, heard anything in that area? Also, where are the new cartridges available? Wouldn't mind moving away from the GRIP2 damper
