I bought them last year during May on bike-components.de. It was in stock and was delivered in two days.Trickstuff brakes! How long did they take to ship?
Which hose did you use to get the rear brake hose through the frame?I bought them last year during May on bike-components.de. It was in stock and was delivered in two days.
I have taken the 5mm kevlar wire. Had to Kondakt with Trickstuff. The 6mm steel flex does not go unfortunately. Have the line the Rockshox Barb Connector from behind without problems get through.Which hose did you use to get the rear brake hose through the frame?
First Merc and then this. Have you won the lottery?

I run aggressively on front, and want my fork to stay really high in travel. ZEB has already such big negative that I am not sure if Luftkappe will do much for you, although the little-can they sell would.
But it sounds like you might be more of Fox38 kind of guy. Or EXT.
As far as I know, only the Flight Attendant version of the Zeb has the domed air shaft. I haven’t seen that air shaft available for aftermarket sales either.Do you have the latest (2022) version of ZEB? It has different air-shaft already, domed on top.
With the help of the park tool hose routing tool, and letting the air out of the shock, getting my new brakes routed turned into a 10 minute job with zero struggle. (Now bleeding them was a different story, lol). Did not touch the motor or battery.My local bike shop told me that to do the rear brake they were just removing the air from the shock, and with the suspension compressed it was “super easy” to route the rear brake above the motor. I have a set of Hayes Dominions I’ve been wanting to put on, but have been procrastinating. Will update how it goes for me. Lol
How do you find going from moto front brake on the right to mtb front brake on the left?Cockpit finally set up the way I want it (for now) with the Dominions, Deity bar/stem/grips, the skinnier non-matchmaker clamps, and OneUp multi tool. Would like a wolftooth dropper lever, but that’s purely luxury as the stock works fine. Also the cables are a mess, but unless I got AXS I think this is as good as it will get.

I ride mtb and moto for the last 20 years and never once had any issue with the brakes being different. Now that being said, I always disliked owning 2 mountain bikes at once because I could never get comfortable on bikes with different geo/sizing. Especially going between ebike and normal bike, would throw me way off and take half the ride to get comfortable again. I know, first world problems. LolHow do you find going from moto front brake on the right to mtb front brake on the left?
Also, not to encourage you to spend more money but the Wolftooth dropper lever is such an improvement over standard. Money well spent imo.
My Manic did this too. Try pulling the outer of the cable thru the frame more so it stops actuating the actuator or take some tension off at the lever when you insert the post to where you want it.My new OneUp is auto-dropping when I hop on and I'm not sure if install is correct.
I wanted to know if I am the only one on an S3 size with a 150mm OneUp 34.9 dropper that is auto engaging when the dropper is lowered to the frame's built-in stop point. When I have the seat raised 3-4 cm is starts working.
I am not trying to have it slammed to the seat collar, but rather the built in carbon frame stop to give ideal seat height.
Yes, I have short legs, and long torso.
