Review: SRAM's New Maven Brakes - The Big Brake
If weight and price are your priorities, the SRAM Level Ultimates are even lighter and cheaper than the Hayes.

Review: SRAM's New Maven Brakes - The Big Brake
Control (modulation) has been a selling-feature of SRAM Brakes since I've been using them. These brakes look like their retain the modulation of Codes, with more available power. This means when you bed your brakes in properly (so they don't glaze) you can fine tune the power with rotors (-14% power per step down in rotor size, but lighter and less prone to damage) and pad compound.

Video: Maintaining Speed & Pumping Through Corners - How To Bike Season 3 Episode 1
Does anyone else feel like using Conti tires for this is kinda cheating? Like they should have to run 10-year old Nevegals and try to ride the corners just as hard with no grip advantage.

Review: Velocio's Trail Access Hardshell Jacket is Breathable & Understated
Honestly, I live in the PNW and I have a really hard time getting motivated to ride when it's wet out (half of the year).
I bought this jacket and a pair of waterproof pants, and it's already gotten me out on a bunch of rides I would have stayed home for instead.
Also, any of y'all who balk at spending 10% of the cost of your equipment on a good jacket should stay away from snowboarding!

Hoss sizing.
For comparison, I'm 6'3, 220lb (190cm/100kg) and the XL fits me perfectly. Ideal fit in the chest and shoulders, and the arms are long enough even in a riding position.

Yeah, it's pretty phenomenal. Guess the Boxxer is better.
