I bought the ultimate kit that came with the adaptors, they’re the same ones that came on the bike stock so you’re good. The only reason you’d need to change the adaptors is if you went with bigger rotors.Guys, Anyone upgrade to SRAM Maven brakes? If using the stock rotors (Code RS brakes on Levo Expert model), do I need the disc brake adaptors?
Cool, thx! How do you like the brakes? The kit is sold out everywhere so purchased the ultimate brakes and pro bleed kit.I bought the ultimate kit that came with the adaptors, they’re the same ones that came on the bike stock so you’re good.

Wouldn't use stock rotors but the new HS2 rotors included in the expert kit or buy them 200 front and 180 back gives you more than enough braking power. You don't need adaptor as long as you don't go bigger rotor.Guys, Anyone upgrade to SRAM Maven brakes?

Honestly, they lasted a week on my bike before I went back to the Hope T4V4s. I didn’t feel they had anymore power than my Hopes and I preferred the lever feel of the Hopes.Cool, thx! How do you like the brakes? The kit is sold out everywhere so purchased the ultimate brakes and pro bleed kit.
I bought the Maven Ultimate kit with the rotors and stuff for my Levo..then I got buyers remorse after readying about how harsh the levers are. After installing T4's on my Stumpy around the same time I'm thoroughly convinced I do not want any other brakes except Dominions. I need to return that kit.Honestly, they lasted a week on my bike before I went back to the Hope T4V4s. I didn’t feel they had anymore power than my Hopes and I preferred the lever feel of the Hopes.
Did you install them and tried them out properly or just listen to what a couple of others say?I bought the Maven Ultimate kit with the rotors and stuff for my Levo..then I got buyers remorse after readying about how harsh the levers are.

They are not installed. I know from the feel before installing them they are stiffer than the Codes that came with the bike. I'm sure the stopping power is top notch but I can guarantee the feel and modulation will not match the Hayes..for me.Did you install them and tried them out properly or just listen to what a couple of others say?
First time I heard someone says they know how a product feels and works when all the parts are new compared to the old product and on top of that make a decision based on others views.They are not installed.

Just list them for sale over retail and make some money, I’ve been offered £200 more than what I paid for mine and they’re slightly used. I rarely sell stuff though so mine will probably just sit on the shelf along with all the other random parts I’ve tried or swapped out.I bought the Maven Ultimate kit with the rotors and stuff for my Levo..then I got buyers remorse after readying about how harsh the levers are.

Seriously? We all make purchasing decision based on product reviews all the time.... Most of the reviews do compare them to Codes as a reference. So if you know Codes then you can have a pretty good idea. That said, I do agree it's not a 100% accurate assessment of just how stiff the pull is on the Mavens but I assure you it's fairly obviously stiff. Especially when I have years of experience riding Codes. If I didn't just install the Hayes on my other bike and love them so much I would certainly have given the Mavens a try. It's not in dispute how different the feel of the the two will be. After experiencing the light action and supreme modulation of the Hayes. I don't want to give that up. Also, after seeing the paint splatter color on another bike...I decided it was not for me. It's extremely loud. Especially on an all black bike like mine. If I sell them, I would only mark them up enough to cover the taxes that I paid above the retail price and any PayPal fees.First time I heard someone says they know how a product feels and works when all the parts are new compared to the old product and on top of that make a decision based on others views.
Anyway Maven have only been out for a couple of weeks so it's gone be interesting to see some reviews based on long time use.
Well I read reviews but final decision is mine since I'm gonna use the product but of course no need to change if you're satisfied with what you got.Seriously?

Just push it through, the Levo is one of the easiest ones I’ve ever done. The only tricky part is at the head tube but it’s still super easy.Anyone install the Maven brakes yourself? Was it difficult to route the rear cable through? Did you use a coupler or were you able to just push cable through from back to front?
