    Weird Reversed Stem Geo / Chat

    I'm tall. I ride forks wit 4cm of spacers and more since the nineties. Never had a problem. (and I did brake almost anything that can be broken on a bike). But I'm not a downhiller. Rulezman Suspension He did what it is here about years ago. The longer the chainstays the higher your bar can be...

    Suntour suspension...any good?

    I have a 120mm Suntour Aion 35 boost. I bought it in covid times because it was the only fork available in that time with tandem allowance. It costed back then 110 Euros. On the tandem the maximum allowed pressure proved to be too low for our system weight. (too much sag, we need 145 to...

    Pad drag is worse than Magura MT 5. Rotors are too light.

    System weigth? Diameter rotors? Did you bleed the brakes? Possibly brake pads glazed. How did you use the rear brake?

    Modulation for me : the further the lever is pulled the more power comes. No modulation: you just have to pull the lever harder with more force but the lever is not really moving, just pulled harder. Dosing is very difficult. I have big hands and like two finger levers. DB8 has modulation, al...

    Your thoughts on SRAM's new DB 8 brakes

    I think a 20.3 or 22 rotor would make a difference in power and heat resistance. But at home I prefer 18 rotors. 20.3 and 22 bend fast, so have to true them after a few rides. 18 stays straight. I will also change the Sram rotors for magura MDRP (good price)or Brake stuff(expensive but work very...

    Your thoughts on SRAM's new DB 8 brakes

    They brake very progressive(not on or of, not digital) what I like. Less power than Magura MT5/7 and SLX or XT 4 pots. Magura MT4 (2pots)has a little bit more power, deore(2pots) a bit less. They don't like the heat caused by very long steep technical descents and then they get loud. Me fully...
