First Ride: Canyon Neuron:ONfly - a Lighter 140mm eMTB
2 year warranty is crazy for a brand thats known to have cracking issues and delayed/slow customer service. No thanks

@TokenCanfieldGuy: For the money hope can't be beat imo. Also so easy to work on. They're a brilliant middle ground hub.

If the lever was shorter you’d lose a lot of power! It’s a lever remember!

It’s the compound hope use on their pads that make the squeal. So annoying. Even the pro’s brakes squeal so it’s not user error. Adam Braytons were squealing during hardline too. Use an after market pad and it’ll go. Shame though as you get several spare pads with the brake.

Yeah I’m running the pro 5. Just the right level of noise for me. Hated loud hubs. They now sound classy with a fast engagement and such low friction. Very impressed.

Review: SRAM's New Maven Brakes - The Big Brake
Do you find your hopes have a high pitched squeal even in the dry? Not like wet rotors sound. Much higher.

Review: SRAM's New Maven Brakes - The Big Brake
@oatkinso: as you wind in the bite point the pads move closer to the rotor. You can literally see it happening! So if you want the pads to bite fast wind the pads in. If you like the lever to be really close to the bars when compressed (loads of pro riders set it like this) then leave it wound out. The only 2 brakes that actually work are the sram rsc and hopes in my experience. I have my codes wound in full. I like a really short lever throw that stops about 1.5cm from my bar. Check out someone like Adam Brayton or Joe Barnes’s brakes. They have their levers touch the bars at full compression. So you can fine tune the point of contact of pad on disc.
