The only thing they complain about is an apparent wandering bite point?? - I have XT on all my bikes now (4) and can't say I have noticed anything - Also they are paid to be picky - Just cause they mention it - does it make it a real issue?
I want this in the red anno. So awesome
Me too but honestly not fussy. Would take one in baby cack / Datsun 120Y yellow, happily.
It’s not apparent. I also have shimano on all my bikes (x4) and they all have experienced the wandering bite point ™
Maybe I am just too busy trying not to die from a heart attack and don't actually notice it?? I have 8120's all round if that makes a difference?
I’d say you’d notice it if you had an issue with your brakes. The lever goes to the bar followed by an “OH SHIT” moment before you panic squeeze to get the thing to bite. I have had it on zee, xt, xtr, saint and slx. The only one that still works perfect is my 2002 m755 that doesn’t have servowave.
In that case have never had it.
I've never had it that bad. Mine changed bite points relative to temperature, but a comprehensive bleed fixed that. I just changed to m8100 levers and royally fucked up the bleed. The lever would go half way to the bar in the morning, but be solid in the afternoon. Re-bled them and now they're within a quarter turn on the adjuster from morning to night
Oh its a real issue but it's not consistent and I'm pretty sure it's related to micro bubbles in the master cylinder.
Don’t forget the sacrificial goat and you need to poke your tongue out slightly left otherwise it’ll all go to shit and reverse the earths rotation.
There was a bloke at the Simpson race in 2014 who turned up with a set of XTR brakes that worked 100% in Brisbane a week earlier, arrived at Purni Bore with nothing. Both levers to the bar, the sun beating down on his master cylinders on the back of his vehicle for 7 days was probably the culprit.
64 degree head angle ,Fox 36 @ 160 mm travel and its their trail bike , things are getting a little confusingNew 29ers Spectral, looks pretty good
Canyon Spectral 29 Review | An excellent, contemporary long-travel granite smasher
The Canyon Spectral 29 is all-new for 2021, and arrives to fill an important gap in the German brand's full suspension lineup. Far from being the same old Spectral with big wheels jammed in though, the new Spectral 29 features a new carbon frame and some of the most radical geometry we've seen...flowmountainbike.com
Its the 'down-country' bike that's got me laughing. The XC bike with a little bit slacker geo and 120mm fork for those longer days in the saddle
I was surprised to find the term "Down Country" originating from early 2018Its the 'down-country' bike that's got me laughing. The XC bike with a little bit slacker geo and 120mm fork for those longer days in the saddle
Perhaps ‘ down trail ‘ will be a new categoryIts the 'down-country' bike that's got me laughing. The XC bike with a little bit slacker geo and 120mm fork for those longer days in the saddle
Yep, definitely for 2022.
Downduro has arrived!
Yeah but if you flush the toilet at the same time the centrifugal forces counter the rotational reverse. You have to do it simultaneously though otherwise it's alfoil in the microwave time. It's the only way.
