Shimano GR501 Flat Pedal Shoes Black 2021
Buy Shimano GR501 Flat Pedal Shoes Black 2021 Now at Pushys. Lowest Price, Secure Shopping and Fast Delivery from Australia's Best Online Bike Store
Paid $130 for a pair then got home and saw this... woops... so did the only sane thing and bought two more pairs.
Haven't owned them before.. but they fit my 6E width feet really well and the grip increase over my old new balance dad shoes is astounding. Had to jump at setting myself up with shoes that actually fit, so I bought two more pairs from Pushys. Bonus that they look close enough to casual shoes one pair will serve that function.. not kidding when I say ive fit nothing but new balance for the last decade or so.
Short version, bargain.

What sort of trickery is this that you happen to be a size 46, I'm a 45 and it goes back to $100. Wtf!Shimano GR501 Flat Pedal Shoes Black 2021

Im closer to a 44, but I have to upsize in length to get the width. I just usually have to compromise a bit further (47s, which end up way too long)
I’m on a roller coaster, I get out of stock. This listing is so weird. When I first checked they were in stock, went to add to cart and got out of stock
Just checked and it looks like they are gone

Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes
Look up the Enduro magazine brake comparison. They pretty much destroyed everything else including Saints and Codes.

i read the article (https://enduro-mtb.com/en/trickstuff-maxima-review/), but didnt see any comparison. maybe i looked at a different enduro mag? But what constitutes destroyed? I mean the technology is all the same, isnt it? A hydraulic line, all pushing brake fluid of some description to actuate pistons that have pads connected to them against a disc. Is it really then not just the compound on the pads that's the relevant factor here and not so much the 1200 euro brakes? Asside from feel and personal preferences (all subjective), im not getting what the difference is here. 100% recognise im ignorant on this and these are legitimate questions, not trying to be contrary.

The best MTB disc brake you can buy
Disc brakes now have it harder than ever before: we’re riding faster, tires bite harder, and the trails we ride are getting tougher. To go fast, we need to be able to go slow, so which disc brake is best? Riding fast is one of the best feelings: we argue over KOM’s in the pub […]

Trickstuff were one of the first (IIRC) to use bearing in the brake level pivot which seemed to dramatically improve lever feel according to reviews...
Nowadays more and more brakes are coming out with the same thing.

im curious how much improvement can be had by fitting their pads to a different brake platform. re lever feel. Ive only really ever had the code RSC as any decent brake and they feel fine. Dont really know what could improve. 1200 euros is a fair whack to test that outThe best MTB disc brake you can buy

Also do you drive a maroon landcruiser?

Codes have a pretty progressive (gradual) lever feel from memory, where some other brands of brake (ie: Shimano) tend to come on quite aggressively - so lever feel/repeatability is more important.im curious how much improvement can be had by fitting their pads to a different brake platform. re lever feel.

The pads are very good but not head and shoulders above everything else. You get 99% of the performance with Racematrix pads.im curious how much improvement can be had by fitting their pads to a different brake platform. re lever feel.

The Trickstuff also use Goodridge braided lines. Again this is available aftermarket and the Uberbike steel braided lines are 99% of the performance.
I find Code RSCs require a lot of lever force to actuate even before the pads contact the disc, almost a gloopy feel.
