Finally seems like Valeo/effigear have a solid prototype, I recall seeing another manufacturer on an embn vid at interbike a few weeks ago too.

In my mind this is a slam dunk for ebikes and should the...
I hear you, I snagged my rail 9.7 in September after ordering it in may. Got a great deal at 4900 and they are now at an insane 6750. Tariff or no tariff, someone is making serious bank off the pandemic and surge in cycling.
Yea thats the kit, the last time I ordered I got an old spec banjo bolt tho (think it was m4 instead of 3, or 5 instead of 4 or something) so in the order form make sure you highlight you need the correct spec. They arent quite as tidy as the internal finish hoses but the quality is great and...
As far as I know they are the same caliper body, only with 'e-optimised' pads, this was just the cheapest place for the calipers that i could find on my last build.
As far as the barb compatibility goes, the magura one quite thick (aka sits quite a long way proud of the olive)? Im not sure, but...

One thing I learnt first of all is you need the thicker brass barbs from Shimano as the magura hose is a little thicker and they can somethimes be a bit of a pain to seat.

Don't laugh.. but I've been rocking these for the last month and they are fantastic

Super warm, comfortable, waterproof.. grip well on my nukeproof flat pedals.
Also been using Declathon thermal...
I have the exact same setup as OP, saints and mt7s, have ridden with stock magura pads, race magura, disco pads ceramic pro, and some nukeproof organic ones I picked up in Les gets last year. The ceramic pros are the superior in all conditions imo, incredibly grabby and most of all satisfy my...
I run mt7 calipers and saint levers on my dh bike, and mt5 estop calipers and saint levers on my trek rail, both with uberbike braided hoses.
Both perform identically, it's really just the colour of the caliper that seems to be the difference, and potentially the compound of the pads.
