Big kudo's to Shimano when credit is due. I am still mentally scarred from RapidRise and didn't really mind Biopace even it if did nothing in the end. Stories like this make me want to go and fondle my XTR M952 groupset.
Others may disagree, but my experience with Shimano brakes is no performance difference between SLX, XT and XTR models of the same generation (I guess the XTR race would be different cos it doesn't use the servo wave, can't comment on those though). I also find Deore to be almost as good as the above.
This is quite correct, especially with XT & SLX, as both the previous M785/666/675 and current M8000 Update & M7000 use exactly the same parts for the two models (but different for each generation). XTR and Deore use different parts but the same basic design, differing in materials (except XTR Race, which as noted are different levers, which cuts the grunt slightly).
Do you know what the cause of that issue was?
Looks like the guys above had their levers replaced, but I have heard of the different calipers....
The short, packed out to meet minimum character requirements version, is no.
Hahahaha, it'll be Hope. I'm actually suprised you haven't done this sooner. FYI, I own a sexy RA60 with a 1JZ
lol...you know me too wellHahahaha, it'll be Hope. I'm actually suprised you haven't done this sooner. FYI, I own a sexy RA60 with a 1JZ
come back to tassie and ride derby already
Phwoar, my first 2 door car was an RA60, but no 1JZ sadly. Pop up headlights should come back in fashion of no real good reason :yawn:FYI, I own a sexy RA60 with a 1JZ
This comment made me think about how much more I actually use my front brake when really braking hard, while mostly upright of course.
im far from an amazing rider...that and i am blessed with living in tassie...so the majority of my riding is done on derby and north south...both relatively flowy trailsThis comment made me think about how much more I actually use my front brake when really braking hard, while mostly upright of course.
I'd guess that the rear gets more use overall given trails are full of loose corners where too much front would see you wash out the front but when really hard braking into a corner from a fast downhill section the front brake is the one I use aggressively. Also given the weight bias the front gets a much harder squeeze than the rear ever does.
Good thing I'm right handed
Haha, not calling you out on it, I'm far from being even a good rider!
