Yeah omakacycle does all sorts of fun brake experiments on IG. He claims short lever throw on that combo but I don't buy it. I haven't used the radic lever but it should be quite similar to the TRP lever. They are both axial cylinder, 9mm master cylinder, and have long levers for plenty of mechanical leverage. I believe radic achieves the minimal dead stroke their brakes are known for primarily through caliper piston seals that retract very little. They also use 2.3mm rotors, which IME seem to run more true than thinner rotors, leading to less pad rub and...

New brake combo in the works. TRP / Oak Lever / Maven base 18/18mm caliper. Shimano BH90 lines and maxima mineral oil. I previously tried the 19.5/18mm maven caliper with these same levers, and found the lever throw to be a little excessive. I'm hoping the 18/18mm caliper reduces that a bit. The TRP levers don't suffer the pump out effect experienced with maven/shimano levers. No swing link / servowave action, just heaps of mechanical leverage on a 9mm master cylinder.

It is quite the debate on bikes, components, and the price tag brands put on them. If you look at it from a business standpoint and count in the overhead costs, developing costs, tariffs, shipping, different labor costs in different countries... When people are aware of "how low" the unit prices are, their first reaction is being angry. It makes...
@luisgutrod I stumbled over your backlink, so I thought I'd provide direct insights. We reached out to Intend/Cornelius if he would be open to publishing a review. We got the Flash38 for a different (upcoming) project. They did not want the (free) review on top of what other project we offered. It is part of their philosophy, and because we...

perhaps not the last word in this yet.. testpilot shows a picture of an intend fork along the others in their fork field test main article and then it was taken off the individual tests.. may be Intend asked not to be benchmarked, regardless of how the fork gets in the hands of the testers.. https://www.testpilot.bike/magazin/mtb-170-mm-federgabel-vergleichstest .
