    Hey, I’m about to replace brakes in my Levo gen 3 (I prefer Shimano over SRAM). Any advice guys? Anything I should pay attention to with this internal routing? I’d appreciate feedback from all of you who already went through this exercise. Thanks, a.

    Levo Gen 2 Shigura Question

    I'm switching out the Guides with 200mm discs on my 2020 Turbo Levo Comp to a Sigura setup and have a question about the caliper mount. I went with the Magura MT7 with 203mm discs and thought I would have to change the adapter (or add a washer) to accommodate the extra 3mm diameter. However...

    Hope Tech V4 vs Magura MT7 Pro

    I'm having some real trouble with my Magura brakes. I just don't feel like I'm getting the best out of them and wondered if you could give me some advice?

    SRAM Code brakes - Issues?

    So the Kenevo that I’m using has SRAM Code brakes. Really spongy feel as well as the lever going right back to the bars. Took it to a local bike shop near where I’m staying who bled them but noticed that 2 of the rear pistons were jammed and also lots of air in the system. Also I’ve almost...

    Brakes getting spongy / excessive travel!!!!

    Anyone else have problems with there brakes getting spongy after a few months riding? The brake lever travel also starts to increase which is a right pain, as when decending on some steep single tracks you struggle to get the rear to lock up. It's the rear one which gets effected the most, I...

    I have Shimano M615 disk brakes and due to the grinding paste I've been riding in I need to adjust the brakes to compensate for pad wear. What do I need to do?
