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...

    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...
