My new rig has Guide Rs. Front is nowhere near as crisp after first trip to Buller. Feels spongy, like it’s in need of a bleed. I also felt like I was on them more than my old bike. I put this down to the bike being quicker but now I’m thinking it was the Guides weren’t as powerful. My old Sunday had Saints, and then Formula R0s.
I had similar bleed issues with Saints (810s) when up at Buller. They went spongy on a couple of occasions. I didn’t have that issue with the Formula R0s.
I’d appreciate any feedback on what would be a good approach. Get Guides bled and stick with them? Get new brakes? If so which ones?
Formula seem to be rarer than they were a couple of years ago. Parts are expensive but they are single piston and I’ve got the bleed gear covered
Would Guide RSCs be any better than Guide rs? There’s some RSCs for sale here
Have 820 Saints resolved 810 bleed issues?
Magura?
Zees?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
