AM Mean green DVO/Liteville Machine

That name.
That stem smashing his plums.
If only it just nicked them.

That would've been poetry. But with a seat jammed that far up his arse a gentle brushing wasn't a likely outcome.

I'm surprised they don't grind the welds down.

Leave that for Cannondale. A stack of dimes, or could we say Deutschmarks because Euros just doesn't reflect that teutonic awesomeness, which should be left for all to enjoy.

If only there were a company that understood the aesthetics of welds like that?

Some would call that sexual welding.

They really need to mold nicely knurled welds into CF wrap to keep it interesting. Functionality be damned.

Fuck yeah I do. It makes me moister than an oyster.

Hey, lets leave your oyster out of this drool worthy welding

That is some sexy metal!

What sort of riding is this work of art designed for?

Liteville claim its their enduro race bike but I'm going to run it as an all mountain. Buuuut the low brake jack should make it ideal for twisty tracks with lots of brake bumps.

Don't make me get the hose again.

SoOoOo I've ordered a set of Hope RX4 calipers to run with a set of XT levers. They run the same brake pads as Hope m4/e4 and XT m755. So guess who will be doing the pepsi challenge.

Brake fluid vs mineral oil?

The Hope RX4 calipers can be had in many flavours. One of which is mineral oil compatible and post mount.

But you don’t get the hope lever then.

That's a wise move. Mineral oil is shit.

It is.


So why isn’t he just getting normal hopes? E/V4’s.

 

[creaky]

It’s probably gunna end up being the antithesis or polishing a turd ... shitting in a diamond ... but still, lusting after a Liteville.

Middleburns ... a touch of class ... gotta get them off my baby seat bike at some stage !

Because dot fluid is shit and Hopes are spongey. I also want to see if the famed Hope brake feel/sponginess is due to the levers or the calipers. It also gives me a chance to compare:
-m785 levers/m755 calipers.
-m8000 levers/m755 calipers.
-m785 levers/Hope rx4 calipers.

Note they all run the same brake pads.

I’m puting money on the diaphragm in the lever causing the initial feel

 

[pink poodle]

I haven't noticed this sponge. Perhaps someone just has too much grip strength?
