TRP EVO Pro Brake Review: The 'Set and Forget' Favorite Now Has More Adjustability
2 sets of warranty calipers later......and still leak and rubbing issues
I stopped the leaking by using thread sealer but that should not be required.
How do i stop these things from rubbing?????? fine for a couple of trails then one side of the caliper the pistons have pushed out....
Performance is good when it all works but the "set an forget" is far from the truth as friends with these and previous ones have the exact same issues.

5Dev Releases Solid Steel Crank Spindle That Adds Half a Kilo to Your Bike
@Dougal-SC: This is disappointing. I honestly thought you understood basic things like this.
Don't think I'll be using your service anymore.

Pinkbike Poll: What's the First Thing You Upgrade On a New Mountain Bike?
@HeatedRotor: It's a marketing tactic by brands and most are guilty of it, It's even more important When you're NOT sponsored to not free advertise for brands.
I agree With your point about good brands though as that can kinda be an exception to the rule if you wish to see a brand succeed and stay around, However theres only a handful of Industry brands I would do this for.

Results: New Zealand National DH Series 2025 Round 1 Dunedin
@Cabin: as someone who has raced at both places this season, Coronet is significantly better.
Dont get me wrong, signal itself is a great place but if it was my choice, coronet is easier to sort racing needs.
I also got contacted about the Bike shuttles and have put my reference in the report, we lost out on nearly 1k in rides for our small group.

First Ride: Commencal Tempo Power - A Fan Favorite Goes Electric
@mattpi1: Change to the regular Headset routing they sell, it comes out at the top cap like other brands - thats the annoying part normally but can now be changed out.

First Ride: Commencal Tempo Power - A Fan Favorite Goes Electric
@professed: No, people hate on headset routing as a whole.
the tempo was a pure design issue which ISNT the headset but the spacers.........
We've been on headset routed bikes for 18 months and have had zero issues.
The main problem here is commencal's design choices, from butter rear ends to cables routed through stem spacers.
as for your data comment, i never said otherwise.
It's funny you said "Congratulations. You are now a proper pinkbike commentator" when infact its you, not me.
FYI, seeing as i now know commencal better than you, they sell an updated version which removes the though-spacer setup and exits the top cap as normal.

@professed: 632 stack with 466 reach.... proves what? stack is irrelevent as you can change effectively stack regardless.
Short bike.
Similar geo to the YT jeffsy/capra that is to small and YT tell me to go XL.(they told us at 6ft we will be cramped as on a Large) so we bought both and would just sell or Give to our boy. Im so damn glad we did as the large is tiny, both me and my wife(we are both 6ft) looked like adults on a kids bike lol
