Goggles for open face helmets…..

Holeeee sheeeeet it’s like fox saw the meme pages and missed the sarcasm. This is too good

if ur moto goggles are fogging just remove the foam from the top of the frame.
 
Wolf tooth pumps with integrated tools and price less than One Up pump n tools. Long and short versions.

 

Never owned a set.

I can't really judge too harshly, I am in the Eeeeeb manufacturers target demographic :confused:

DM has been on ebikes to climb crazy stuff for about 3-4yrs. Some good vids of him doing high mountain epic rides around Scotland.
Good old Scottish/Irish weather, glad to see the end of that :)

Danny has more skills in his braking finger than my whole body! I am sure they are nice brakes but Magura insist on using the plasticy master cylinder and so many reports of stripped bleed screws or cracked master cyclinders makes it a no for me. Would just get some Hopes. ;)
Yep bleed screws strip if you even sneeze near them, had a set on my Focus the braking was great but between the bleed screw issues and the actual feel of the levers, I just couldn’t gel with them, it’s probably why people go Shigura.

on the topic of stripped screws... Try a set of the Wera hexplus allen keys. They really come into their own when working on tiny 2mm allen heads which often strip out, or softer/cheaper bolts of any other size.

The biggest problem is the screw is made of plastic and being so freaking fragile that threads just fail, this image makes look nice & sturdy but that’s T25 head.

Plastic screws anywhere, are the work of the devil!

Does anyone remember the plastic axle caps on old Crank Bros' pedals? They weren't even hex, but had a slot for a flat bladed screwdriver... i had to bin a set of pedals because I couldn't get the cap off without lunching the pedal body threads.

I have 2 bikes with Magura MT5s and am a big fan. Never had an issue with the screws while bleeding them. Just tighten them as if you are tightening a plastic screw and you will be fine.
