Formula Introduces 2-Piece Lever With Increased Adjustability
I love the feel and power of these (4 up front and 2 in the back) but I just can't be bothered with the bleeding process. Takes too long to get all of the bubbles out. No such issue with other brands of mineral oil brakes IME. Anyone else having issues bleeding these, specifically those who take shuttles where the bike is held vertically in a rack? My levers come to the bars after 800m elevation shuttle with bike mounted vertical.

Too hard to navigate the ever-changing, Nazi-style Covid19 BS rules in this God-forsaken country to bother trying to visit from another State in Aus. Have fun, everyone who attends.

Final Results from the Les Gets DH World Champs 2022
Maybe Redbull block some known VPN IP ranges? I used NordVPN to Hong Kong and it worked for me in Australia.

Pinkbike Poll: Are You Satisfied With Your Brakes?
Love the power and feel of my Formula Cura (4 pot front, 2 pot rear) but I just can't for the life of me get a stable bleed using the official kit and instructional video steps. They're fine until I hang the bike vertically on the local shuttle trailer and when I get to the top of the mountain (800m / 2600feet above sea level) they are totally full of air bubbles and I have no brakes for the first 5 minutes of descent. Obviously I left the bubbles in there during the bleeding process but I have spent up to 45 minutes pumping that damn syringe, watching the most fine of air bubbles escape the system and I still don't seem to get it right.
I'll be back to Shimano on my next bike or just go with SRAM and pay the local mechanic to bleed them for me.

Video: Jesse Melamed's Winning Pro Stage POV from EWS Petzen-Jamnica 2022
Looked sped-up sorta like Same Hill Val Di Sole '08. Absolutely bonkers over 13 minutes. Fitness, power and skill blows me away. Props, Jesse.

Thibaut Daprela Out of Snowshoe World Cup DH & Overall Series Title After Qualifying Crash (Updated)
Such bad luck for the young man after being so consistently dominant this whole season and this one track in the depths of the USA seems to have destroyed his hopes and dreams for the overall. He'll be back stronger next year!

Video: Thibaut Daprela’s Winning Run POV from the Les Gets World Cup
He was pounding his chest because he was proud to have recovered from a horror crash a week prior and was struggling on this track all week so was more likely just very happy to have made it down fast and clean in his race run. He didn't expect the win.
