Win SRAM's Code RSC Brakeset - Pinkbike's Advent Calendar Giveaway

 Ah that really sucks! I’d make more of a rant n rave about that’s! Serious excitement doused with piss is worse than not being told you’ve won. Bastards!

 what contest was that mate?

 @HenriqueDownhill: it was the spanish Ews race

 Wow, see this TLD? Not a good look...

 This is similar with me, but it was VitalMTB. I just aksed them the status of the prize via email after few months. On the next day they sent me an email said that they tried to track to prize and found it lost. After that I got email again from them that they have replaced with the new one. 2 weeks later the price arrived. For me sometime it's not about the prize, but the responsibility. I hope your prize arrive soon.

 @indobiker: I've already tried to email them but never got a reply back. I contacted the other guy who won the contest and he's in the same situation

 @crashtor: Have you contacted pinkbike? They may have a more direct line to TLD.

 @crashtor: that is pants, expect better from both these companies!

 @crashtor: ah, sorry to hear that.
nah @pinkbike should pay attention for this. I think it's better if all prizes sent by pinkbike, not the sponsors.

 Had a similar experience on pinkbike for one of the world cups last year. Prize was a yt bike. I had five out of 6 names correct as did somebody else. I wrote to ask about the process, got no reply and never saw any winner. Don't know if it was yt or pinkbike - but super annoying. If a brand says that all names need to be guessed correctly, which I don't think I have seen happen then any brand good offer any prize with the knowledge that the probability that anyone would guess all names correctly is extremely minimal. Prizes should be handed out of those that get closest and everything should be transparent!!! Rant over :-)

 Update Today I received the prize. They sent the package on December 5th, I think my comment has probably been useful.

 @crashtor:

Yay for you :-)

Merry New Year all!

 Man I win last year in a contest, pinkbike staff send you your prizes you just have to have a little patience they contact you private message! I wait for a reply maybe 3 weeks

 There'd be no brake in the action on my local trails...

Come on guys. Where is you pun game?

 It appears that it’s dead, Somebody called the Code.

 @vw4ever: Code Blue!

 um.....brakes....

 Maybe you win a strap on this year. Good luck.

 he's doing interpretive dance this year rather than poetry... can't wait for the youtube video!

 Yes!! He's back - a Christmas miracle!

 Agreed. I remember hearing years ago: "why slag free swag?"

 He got busted for taking performance enhancing drugs...That creativity didn’t come naturally.

 @Jarl666 ROFLMAO. Happened to me many years ago with Formula Oro brakes. Got fed up and switched to Maguras. Best move I did.

 My Code RSCs work perfectly. Now the Zee's I had before that ended up being 5 levers and 6 calipers of nothing but plastic failure...

 @patrickbatemanworldtour89: The brake discussion is such a subjective thing. My old Avid Elixir CR's, with minimum maintenance are still working well. I've not yet had a problem with my newer SRAM Guides (1 year, stock bleed). I've also owned problem free Shimano brakes, all the way from entry level non-series on the commuter to XT/Saint on my mountain bikes.
I've had leaky Avid (SRAM), Magura and Shimano brakes. Couldn't fix them with replaced pistons/seals, MC seals or anything. Just shitty quality... It's all great, until it's not.

 @ssteve: its really not. you buy some Hope V4s, then never have to buy anything else ever again, and you just sit back and drink your hot cocoa while watching others argue about which subpar brake they like best. =)

 and J...

 And realize you get nothing....yes!!!!

 @gunners1: Every. Single. Year. Nothing. Nada. Nichts. Except extra body fat of course.

 According to www.pinkbike.com/about/advertising PB had 700000 registered users back in 2013. Lets say it's a million by now. If 10% of those people join each day (and you join every day) you have about a 1/4000 chance of winning something this year.

Just give up now!

(This is definitely not an attempt to keep you from joining and increasing the odds for myself. Honest!)

 @Trailsoup: better odds than a lot of lotteries, that's for sure.

 @Trailsoup: does that mean I only have to play for 160 years to win once?

 Yeah, the “force” yourself upon kids is very strong for him!

 @cunning-linguist: Bing Crosby or Bill Cosby?

 @DrPete: haha, he definitely got the wrong Crosby!

 They’ll just say they did.

 I own V4s and Code RSC and honestly like the Codes better.

 3 seasons on e4's in whistler and qeenstown and never even need bled, srams on my dh bike and need a bleed every 2 weeks.

 @PeterT: haven’t had to bleed either of mine since the original install, but the process is a little cleaner/easier with the Codes.

 Subscription to “E-bike Enthusiast”

 @DrPete: I’d rather have a subscription to “Dropping Hammer On Foot Quarterly”

 A set of steak knives.

 Code RS & RSC levers both have a needle bearing in the lever pivot, regular R’s do not

 Calipers are the same except color, the Rs are matte and the RSC glossy

 @wohwee: If someone retro-fit the bearing from the RSC lever to the R lever, will it stop the brake from constantly squealing, slow lever return, and eliminate the need to bleed every two weeks? Asking for a friend.

 @PinkyScar: Good question.. I’ve got R’s too and would very much like to know that. Fancy trying it and reporting back?!

 And the butt profile(s) to comment...
