I have installed every autoplay-blocking extension I can think of and STILL pinkbike videos get through. HOW.

Interview: World Cup Brake Tech with TRP
@Happymtbfr: Really! Never would’ve guessed but that makes sense. Does the raw alloy interact with the fluid?

Interview: World Cup Brake Tech with TRP
The only quirk I’ve had with my Trail EVOs (and really any TRP brake I’ve worked on) is the plastic Shimano-style bleed cup doesn’t even sort of get the air out of the lever/master cylinder. They have to be bled like SRAMs with a syringe on both ends and some good vacuum pulling at the lever. Doing it that way gets them absolutely perfect every single time.
The fluid also seems to last far longer in TRPs. Shimano fluid always turns black after a few months but TRPs stay red for several seasons (even when using Shimano fluid).

Interview: World Cup Brake Tech with TRP
My blue TRP pads (and also my friend’s) went all honky and weird very suddenly. From reading forums and talking to TRP it sounds like the blue pads are finicky. I switched to the gold sintered pads and other than some of that typical metallic noise when braking (nothing bad, just audible) they are flawless and way more powerful.

@konadan: Ditch the TRP funnel and use a syringe to pull vacuum at the lever. Perfect brakes every time.

First Look: 2024 Commencal Meta V5
The white one with the white 36 on the website looks like a stormtrooper bike and it’s sick.
