Video: Forbidden Welcomes Emmy Lan To The Forbidden Synthesis Factory Team

Looks standard, the seat is almost level with the bars. Looks like she's standing on a downslope, which makes her appear a bit shorter.

Review: Hayes Dominion T2 Brakes

@Swangarten: you dont need ot run the manitou lever specifically... damn near every single dropper manufacturer makes a SRAM matchmaker compatible lever.

Review: Hayes Dominion T2 Brakes

@likeittacky: I do agree they should. I remember when the dominions first came out I was told by a Hayes rep that a dropper side matchmaker was going to come out... but thats like 4 years ago or so now lol. I had a set of the Avid ones in a drawer and just had the thought to see if the clamp bolts were the same distance apart and sure enough they were... The bolt side of the lever body on the dominions must be a few millimeters longer, cuz yah you do have to sand down the Avid ones a bit, otherwise they won't tighten enough.

Review: Hayes Dominion T2 Brakes

@likeittacky: Don't need a Hayes specific ones. Go buy a set of the SRAM/Avid matchmakers (the two bolt clamp style for their cheaper brakes) and then sand down the clamping faces a few millimeters on them. Work perfectly, Ive ran them this way on my Dominions for the last 4 seasons and theyre also cheap af.

Review: Hayes Dominion T2 Brakes

@generalistgrant: gotcha, so you run them the complete opposite of me haha. Im familiar with the "over-bleeding" process for other brakes (mostly guides), but have never heard of people doing it with dominions. The pads already sit with an extremely minimal space to the rotor, so I could see adjusting them to not rub being an extreme PITA.

Review: Hayes Dominion T2 Brakes

@nickfranko: I have tried Maguras, they're not bad. I just love the feel of dominions more. What actually made me go all in with them is their insanely light lever actuation. Ive worked at a shop for the last 10 years and have tried many different brakes on demo bikes etc... I will always choose dominions on my personal bikes.

Review: Hayes Dominion T2 Brakes

@generalistgrant: Really? I find the adjustments all work quite well, I like my brakes to pull almost to the bar but have a very solid grab point, between the lever adjust and the contact adjust I can get them set up exactly how I want with very little lever throw (have small hands so don't like to reach way out far, and get less arm pump when the lever engagement is closer)
