Formula Announces 10 Year Support Promise & 2 Year Transferable Warranty
@DizzyNinja: i agree with people's descriptions here. Caliper is of very high quality and sexy finish. Small, but with large pistons that deliver power i found comparable to my guide rsc's. Power delivery is smooth, more sram than shimano like. Lever dead stroke is very minimal right out of the gate, which is one of the cura's selling points for many people. Very low maintenance- bleeds last longer than all other brakes ive owned, and pistons rarely get sticky. The cons? Power is there, certainly stronger than they look, but there are more powerful options. Lever is a bit narrow imho, and the adjustment screw at the base is fiddly and hard to reach.

Formula Announces 10 Year Support Promise & 2 Year Transferable Warranty
Yes!!!! Such approach is significantly more sustainable than half the green-washing other companies do. Releasing new shiny products with little backwards compatibility. I hope it pays off! For me, this guarantee can really tip the scales in favor of formula when buying a new set of brakes. Regardless, my 5 year old cura is still going strong and showing little signs of wear. Very solid product.

Video: Snowshoe Delivers Surprises | Inside the Tape with Ben Cathro
I couldn't quite figure out what he did on that first shot on the drop that got everyone cheering? No hander? Tear off? Theyre cheering like he barspinned or pulled an x up :)

Review: Goodyear Newton MTR & MTF Tires
Just recently reviewed this same setup for our local magazine and came away with nearly identical impressions! Good tread. Reasonable rolling resistance and predictable grip. Pretty decent rubber- somewhere in between maxxgrip abd maxxterra. Slightly heavy, but it pays dividends on hucks, where the tire soaks things nicely The only other downside imo was the slightly tough casing- had to run them at 3-5 lower psi than my other setups. Once I did, they weren't that punishing. Having said that, kudos to Goodyear for an accurate online tire pressure calculator, which recommended precisely the pressure i ended up preferring.

Video: Brett Penfold Rides Trials on a Trail Bike
@aljoburr: You're right, but (a) most shocks these days are already quite dampened (much more than any shock/fork 10 years ago) and modifying them isn't trivial. My point is that you CAN do and learn many trials moves on trial/enduro bikes, but rarely on a comfortable, trail worthy, setup. As for protection - we used to have bash rings. God knows why we don't have those anymore, especially nowadays when your ride and bike depends on a single front chainring. Oh, yeah, I know- money...

@vinay: gotcha. I didnt imply you thought it's easy, and it's definitely at a much more "human" level than Akrigg, but i'm just saying- don't assume this level didn't require years and years of painful and dedicated trials riding. I've seen very few riders who could do any trials moves out on the trails without proper trials/street background. Perhaps im just speaking out of some inner frustration as someone who invested significant effort into trials years ago and didn't reach a level nearly as impressive as this :)
