@Ttimer: and everyone who works in the healthcare sector. Especially doctors. At least in Switzerland. It’s as if, as soon as you know how to use a stethoscope, you have to wear ON.

Pinkbike Poll: How Big Are Your Favourite Flat Pedals?
questions missing in priority:
- Platform size / length
- Q-Factor
to establish the platform preference, you should determine how the rider stands on the pedals. (front foot / middle foot)
Since I have switched to middle foot, I prefer convex and long pedals.

Formula developed the 2-pod break as a DH brake with 24mm pods.
And they did deliver.

Only because the consumers wanted 4-pod brakes, formula made the 4-pod calipers. This is also why the 2-pod feel a little bit crispier than the 4-pod.

Formula Cura 4 Brake Review: They're Light, But Not the Most Powerful
I have the 2-pod now for 5 years on my bike and I‘m still happy. No martter if on a evening lap or on a alpine trip. Last time i did a bleed, i saw that the O-rings are becomming brittle, so I stopped bleeding them 2 years ago. The brakes still work normal (and I have still not ordered some new O-rings).
