I find the yellow shimano blocks too big. Too much lever throw. These days I just use a pair of already contaminated pads (or buy some cheap resin pads and keep for this purpose), put the wheel on and bleed with an actual lever feel. I make sure to thoroughly iso clean the rotor before use...

Penis to penis contact can spread it too, so maybe they're not safe, after all the space docking they do....

Just chuck 'em all on the back of the hilux. Front wheels hanging over the back, bit of carpet over the tailgate to protect the bikes. Fast, easy, perfect excuse to get a ute.

Nice lawn! My Capra is awesome. Most fun bike I've ever ridden. 2 technical issues: Originally when setting up, make sure to loctite the hanger and derailleur bolt. Second issue, when stripping my frame after summer riding, the v4l bearing on the frame was horribly notchy. I thought it...

Just went through the same thing I just picked up my first ever roady bike to commute on after battling with a harsh "urban" tank for several years. I went for carbon over upspecced components on an alloy. (105 vs Ultegra). reason being, comfort. And I'm glad I did. The commute is much smoother...

On the trail: Keep looking way down the trail, use your peripheral vision to manage whats under your wheels. In the shed: Quality tools Instead of doing what you're paid to be doing during the day: Have an opinionated presence on rotorburn.

Not entirely sure, but I think you have to link up with bluedirt if you want to ride the DH tracks. People were self shuttling on the weekend, and nobody minded, but there is a sign at the top saying (to the effect) the runs were private, and that you need a trail pass.

I just spent fri lunch to monday lunch there, Stayed in the village. Friday: stonefly loop (drove to howqua gap) Saturday: delatite river to catch the 9am shuttle back up. Then shuttle with bluedirt for the rest of the day Sunday: klingsporn trail to catch the 9am shuttle back up. Then...

And is this effect somewhat negated by having titanium backed sintered pads?

Nice rig! I'd love to ride the Enduro Elite back to back with my Capra AL1, which was specc'd on par apart form RCT3 fork, reverb and wheel set. Even though it was more than capable out of the box, my current setup runs Minion DHF and SS, XTR M9000 brakes and RF sixc bars. Next upgrade will be...

you'd have to wear the Disciple Jersey too...

The pro race is 160/170 - likely aimed at enduro racing The pro is 180/170 - maybe aimed more at park-duro / alpine-duro

.....something about forks having head tubes? Maybe, if I could have a guess, this is for the situation where you need a new steerer because the original one was cut too short? So what about threaded steerer's?

This happened to me. I pushed the bleed block in and the lever was very firm. I gave the lever a squeeze, quite hard, and fluid shot out from the end of the reservoir. I jumped out of my skin! I figured it was a relief system in an over pressurised situation. I just bled them as usual and all...

OMG! Scuff marks on a mtb??? Send it back under warranty!

On the Capra, the steep seat angle puts you right over the front wheel when climbing. You know how sometimes on a really steep climb, you have to move way forward on your saddle? This is built into the geometry of the Capra. It's not so much about how long the travel is, its about how the...

capra Gotta say, my YT Capra AL1 shits all over any other bike I've owned: Trek Fuel, Scott Genius... Better climber and so much awesome on the downs.
