Don't sell yourself short @AndehM. Your beer per brake tracks tho. Editors note: This may be the root cause of a LOT of my dumb bike problems.

Bleeding 2 brakes at once seems like it would interfere with the beer drinking. Better to do 1 brake a time with 1 beer per brake than 2 at a time with half a beer.

The classic sram piston massage nip slip. I have one that’s loves to sneak out really quick. The other seem to be anchored in place. Very annoying.

I too have blasted out a piston while trying to piston massage a caliper. Late at night before a big ride wife mentions that her brakes feel spongy. Take a quick look and only one of the four pistons is moving. Brakes are long due for a bleed but I figure a quick piston advance + cleaning will do the...

I have a friend who is a perpetual bolt over-tightener, and he managed to split a Maven compression nut. He had this shitty bleed that wouldn't hold air, and I checked the lever under the rubber hose/nut cover and saw oil coming out. I thought it was probably leaking because it had been under-torqued. Nope. I'm sitting over here thinking, "Dude, I'm afraid to torque those compression nuts to the CORRECT torque spec, how did you over torque it?" More recently, I was helping the same friend do a 50-hour service and replacing seals and wipers on his Zeb, and...

Been there. The worst feeling. Even worse? I was helping a friend who was new to mountain biking work on their brakes!! I got distracted because I was talking him through the process, and didn't double/triple check my steps. I'd forgotten that horrible memory until you reminded me. Thanks.

You just gave me a really bad idea about doing two brakes at the same time, man.

Added a couple new notches in the idiot belt recently: My Maven brakes started getting air in the levers and fouling bleeds fairly quickly. First the front, then the rear, then the front again. WTF? Wandering bite point and general ranting ensues for a bit... Further investigation reveals that I had not tightened the hose compression nut to the lever anywhere near the proper 8nm torque. I got at lest a turn and a half on each nut with the crow foot torque wrench. Fresh bleed and haven't had an issue yet this season. Ran the loose hoses for at...

Since we are what-abouting.....im honestly more concerned seeing the XC/gravel/road crowd walking around all day in the same chamois they raced in that morning. Some unsuspecting chamois wearer is going to brew up covid 2.0 doing that shit.

Brembo's decision to not fill the brakes because "they don't do that for car brakes" is the most Italian reasoning I can think of, so I would fully believe that

Howdy! Clayton here, the owner of HotBars. It seems two folks have already provided a response to your comment, but I figured I would provide a bit more info as well. First, I'd like to state that they are 100% able to efficiently provide the amount of heat needed to provide comfort for a bare minimum of 2 hours continuous runtime in very cold (~10° F) conditions with HotBars on the High setting. In the PNW, where we're often riding in ~40° F weather throughout winter, we confidently depend on them delivering 3 hours of continuous runtime. When I say...

"fully active" means different things to different people right now... the two extremes of anti rise are too low and too high. Too low is around 60% and below (depends on assumed COG height so it varies) where the suspension effectively extends relative to the frame under braking. great for traction as the rear wheel is grabbing for traction when u brake, but sometimes it can feel like the rear end is rising too much and feels like its going to throw you over the bars = not ideal. Too high is 130%+ where the rear suspension squats under braking...

Shot for April fools and landed on 420. Nice work. Too bad you don't have in frame storage, you coulda made a joke about putting your weed in there. Anywho bike looks sick. You guys got a website or plans for production yet?
