    Tire Pressure - Does anyone ride higher pressures like they did in the dawn MTB

    Well said, I ride mostly slow rock gardens with lots of slow turns and rocks you need to muscle over. I run Maxxis exo+ casing and in one bike I have Cush core in rear.

    Mondraker crafty R brake issues

    On my Crafty R; I installed Magura mt7 brakes. Wow what an upgrade. But to your question, when this happens to me it seems always to relate to contamination of the pads or rotor due to cassette cleaning . Just a thought
