Would be interested to hear what you think of them. Just fitted a pair to the front and they do seem to be more powerful than the OE SRAM. However despite bedding them in properly and aligning the caliper they make a dreadful noise when they get really hot on a steep downhill. As soon as they are wet, again very noisy. Has anyone with SRAM brakes found quiet and powerful pads?Bled my rear brake and fitted some Uber Bike E-Matrix pads yesterday.
First ride today with them, my my there's some uber braking power

Standard SRAM sintered ones are silent if you have them perfectly aligned, tiny bit out and they squeal. Only time I get a squeal is the first press after they’ve gotten wet.Would be interested to hear what you think of them.

Love my hope stuff but never had the balls to buy cranks just to rub them instantly. My F20 pedals look pretty 2nd hand already.Another new part should a just bourght a frame ??
Waiting on a Megneg for the shock to show up.
I hope you're upgrading the damper as well!Just pulled the pin on a Smashpot coil conversion for the Yari on my Decoy, having fitted a coil shock, it was really showing the fork up, review to follow soon on the YT forum ?
Got invisi wrap on them ? not a perfic job but it will doLove my hope stuff but never had the balls to buy cranks just to rub them instantly. My F20 pedals look pretty 2nd hand already.
Cheers Dom, that's the seller I ordered from, just waiting for it to turn up. They sold out of the right size while I was umming and aahing and then one appeared on the listing so I nabbed it, might have been a return.RockShox Air Can Upgrade Kit Megneg Super Deluxe Shocks Black | eBay
Go ahead and tune your shock exactly to your ride. Compatible with Deluxe and Super Deluxe shocks. Upgrade Kit Model Deluxe/Super Deluxe.www.ebay.co.uk
Not yet, real life has been getting in the way. I might get time to pull it off tomorrow if I go for a run rather than a ride after work.BTW, did you establish if your rotor is warped?
I have been running the Uber E-Matrix on my Guide RE's, with 223mm Galfer rotor, and they have been quiet, and also really liking the feel of them - I do spend a lot of time bedding in my pads though, as I have found in the past doing a good job on the bed g in makes a big difference to long term noise/performance issues.Would be interested to hear what you think of them.

I've not tried that before ? How do you tell if a rotor is warped by running with it ?I might get time to pull it off tomorrow if I go for a run rather than a ride after work.
You will love the Meg Neg, been running one on mine for about 6 months now, big improvement in mid stroke support, and response.Well now.
Oneup 35mm carbon bars, 35mm clamp for the Shimano display on order
Used 223mm Galfer rotor that came with 2 sets of Galfer Pro pads and then got a matching 203 for the rear because mismatched rotors is just wrong
2.6 Magic Mary for the front and 2.6 Vittoria Martello for the back because I don't care about matching tyres so much. Couple of rides in the Martello, liking it so far
200mm C1 Reverb. Won't go in far enough, bah, but booked in at Enigma for a good old fashioned reaming in a few weeks.
Waiting on a Megneg for the shock to show up.
Motor has just gone back to Madison with the good old torque sensor fault, got a new set of bearings to do in the meantime.
Will likely get the new Debonair airspring upgrade kit for the forks when in comes out.
Hopefully that's it for a while, it's been a bit spendy....
A moderator should not make statements which can so easily be miss quoted ...big improvement in mid stroke support, and response.
How much for the reaming?
I'm not sure he was talking about the rotor at that point....I've not tried that before ? How do you tell if a rotor is warped by running with it ?

Well, sweet cheeks, since you asked so nicely....You will love the Meg Neg, been running one on mine for about 6 months now, big improvement in mid stroke support, and response.

Going to try it first, always an option later ?I hope you're upgrading the damper as well!
