My brother was on the uci worlds team for observed trials and a broken scaphoid ended his riding career. Multiple surgeries were needed and it took forever to heal.

To get rid of the wandering bite point, after you finish bleeding, close the port on the brake lever. Then with the syringe attached to the caliper, slowly push on the plunger to add a bit more brake fluid to the system with the other end closed off. You can make your lever throw as short as you want to. This is always my last step in bleeding my Shimano XT brakes. If I close the bleeder and my lever throw is too short, I just open the bleeder and pull back on the plunger a smidge to suck a bit of fluid back out. My lever throw is always perfectly even on each side and never varies.

150mm is the new 170mm?

I’m super hyped to see Volcom get into MTB. Because they make a size 31 in their denim and pant line, that’s all I ever buy and wear. I cannot wait for them to restock so I can snag a pair.

If I was in the market for a handmade Ti frame, I’d get a Ti Fat Chance over this and save myself a grand.

So good!

I watched this and then went and rode my bike.
