    Your thoughts on SRAM's new DB 8 brakes

    For the type of descents I have over this side, I find then more than adequated - as writen on previous posts. And being fair, brakes only have to stop ±100kg at less than 60km/h. I need to find out piston diameter on Db8 lever & Shimano's lever. Would like to try a pair of Shimano levers...

    Your thoughts on SRAM's new DB 8 brakes

    Are those HD brakes to be used with DOT or "olive" oil?

    It already happen to Dirt Bikes, and even MtB/emtb Who has a lot more to lose is the industry/stores (financial speeking)

    20mph speed government petition is live!

    Yes that may happen... IF that happens, eMTBs sale will take a big downfall - and that's more worrying for manufacturers and shops.

    20mph speed government petition is live!

    The discussion/issue isn increasing assistance from 25km/h to 32km/h, is just ridicolous. For instance, the speed difference makes no problem, what so ever. 25, 32 or other number was choosen by politics, with little to no experience riding bikes or motorbikes. Limitation proved to be stupid...

    Just remember that you can try, check it out, and send it back no question asked.

    1.81cm height, 83cm inseam, medium. TopTube is on the short side (due to ST), and compared to my Jeffsy size L, but it's confortable, and don't feel cramped, giving good control uphill. Standing, the reach is spot on.

    Full Face - When do you decide to wear one?

    It depends...You still can have fun, without being overboard. Last time I crashed heavy, was away from the sport, for nearly 2 years, resulted in some surgeries, and ended up with iron and bolts permanently. That was +10years ago. Since then, I don't want to repeat the experience, so just ride...

    Full Face - When do you decide to wear one?

    Crispy, I had a crash, in a trail full of "baby heads", and resulted in hiting with my neck behind the left ear.... I was a bit confused, and some friends were checking me, and all were a bit suprised to see scars in that region. So, the Dropframe protects your head further than an open lead...

    Full Face - When do you decide to wear one?

    I don't want to seem as against full face, or advocate riding unprotected. Every rider should wear what gives them the best confidance inspire equipment (meaning bike, tires, protective gear, what ever). What I advocate, and probably haven't transmit it clearly yet, is that confidance, or the...

    Full Face - When do you decide to wear one?

    True. But there is a huge difference between stupid fast (giving all, unil you almost lose control), and just fast. What I noticed a while back, is that my big crashs have a padron and are related to being tired (hard week at work + not sleeping well), and not sleeping well the night before the...

    Full Face - When do you decide to wear one?

    The only protection I wear ALL the time, while riding in group, is the chest protector! I stopped wearing neck protector (LEAT), since it limited (by a lot) head rotation. Yes, I'm aware of all problems that can happen in a crash, but, if I want to continue ride for more time, I need to decrease...

    Full Face - When do you decide to wear one?

    I have all 3 types: open, convertible, full face. Most of the time, and while riding alone, I bring the lightweeight, well ventilated open face and depending on the terrain I can wear kneepad, or no pads. These protection level (open face, knee pads, gloves), cover 90% of all protection I need...

    Canyon and other coorporations avoid liability on some uses (like what you want) by limiting use/imposing restrictions. It's usually due to Coorporative Layers being aware of costs associated with lawsuits (and warranty claims!) and so on... and not wanting to assume anything outside the scope...

    Strive:ON problems

    No one will be sending new parts out, if the new ones haven't arrived in number... just saying. BTW, Canyon is not alone. Scott and Focus also have this problem

    Strive:ON problems

    I don't believe. Product name, maybe, but not product or Part Number. BTW, the part is Bosch and not Canyon's part. What can be happening is simple: The new latch is no more in warehouse due to shortness, but there are a bunch of the old design, so it's preferable to send a functional old...
