Sig p320 (or whatever the one that just goes off sometimes) might be a rebrand of the previous era of shimano brakes lol

Knolly Bikes Enters Receivership & Evaluates Restructuring

This is correct. Knolly bearing kits have always been more expensive than many brands because they use some unique sizes and configurations, and they have a couple more bearings than many other linkage designs. They last longer in my experience. Classic knolly philosophy; kinda over complicated and pricey and takes 3 weeks to get and shipping from canada is somehow $600 to get from Burnaby to Seattle... but at least the bikes run good and hold their tune well

Hayes Dominion A4 Brake Review: Ultra-Light Lever Action and Plenty of Power

@GTscoob: fully agree. My whole diatribe here is that the anti-dot movement is largely based on what I feel aren't entirely valid claims. I don't need brakes atm but mavens would be a strong consideration, even with all my posturing here.

Hayes Dominion A4 Brake Review: Ultra-Light Lever Action and Plenty of Power

I still prefer that dot is a set standard, and can be sourced in literally every gas station (or your trucks master cylinder in a pinch). Conversely, every brand can just boil up some juice, put some dye in it, and brand it as mineraloil. They arent the same from brand to brand. As a mechanic, I've found that mineral oil is harder to clean up after a service. There always seems to be residue left after a good isopropyl cleaning. Lastly, if you're actually ripping your brakes should be bled annually or every couple sets of pads anyways, so i disagree with the argument that mineral oil systems require less maintenance. Thanks for coming to my ted talk

What are the valid claims that position mineral oil over dot fluid again? Because I disagree with most of the pro mineral oil arguments I've heard.
