Oak Components Levers Claim Increased Power for Hope Tech 4 V4 Brakes
@mikelee: up til now, no. I use the green pads with Galfer Wave 2mm rotors, no squeaking at all and I was skeptical at first with the previous generations problems (noisy, rattling pads, etc.) I've yet to take them to a big day at the bike park but for our local trails + some more intense rides they've been trouble-free and silent.The only small negative thing about them is how close the pads sit to the disk, with 2mm+ rotors (and the fact that they're never perfectly straight) they always end up rubbing slightly when you ride around (new pads + new disks*). You don't notice it while riding on the trails but when pedaling up a fire road or such, you'll hear the occasional little rub. Apart from that 10/10 and I would want them on any bike now haha

First Ride: The Shuvl eMTB Can Work With Any Motor, But at What Cost?
I don't dislike the concept, sure it is pretty ugly and could be refined but a simple platform with a modular motor mount, at a reasonable price could be a good option for something like a rolling chassis kit

or just sell them and get the GR4s which solve most problems of the tech 4s + have an updated lever + bleed port. Running the GR4s and they are amazing!

Race Analysis: Late Attacks & Final Lap Drama at the 2026 Andorra XC World Cup
More deep dives like these please. XC is really interesting to follow in the last couple of years! The fact that a lot of young guns are now winning in the elites makes for some really interesting racing!

POC’s New Barocon Carbon DH Helmet Meets US Moto Standards, But It Costs $880
a troy lee d4 carbon is in between 700-795$ and is heralded by fashionistas as the best helmet. This ain't that much more expensive and probably better... (still outrageously expensive*)

Spotted: 32" Thomus XC Bike Breaks Cover At Lenzerheide World Cup
I find it funny here that people complain that it could offer a competitive advantage to taller people and talk about unity rather than the industry trying to eek out the smallest advantage. The same people were not complaining when someone over 6' was forced to ride a frame with a less than 400mm reach with a 23" seat tube and had to make due with it. How the tables have turned
