@cappsy. Please tell me you know about llandegla. It's one of the best (my opinion) trail centres in the country.

I rode Llandegla in several inches of pow with some friends last winter and have to say it was one of my best rides ever... the whole place just flows really well and you can carry your speed around the trails really well, this new line looks great and he's pinning it through that greasy decking like a king...

Awesome video! I gotta ask, at 3:31 did you almost case and erupt? It might just be the angle of the shot. Either way, this is such a sick edit! Nice Work!

v2s

Or M4's, depending what you ride.

joshualovesmtb (Nov 11, 2011 at 8:32)

what do you mean depending what you ride?

+ 1

bunkey (Nov 11, 2011 at 10:09)

Well if you're not riding long steep alpine descents or a heavy bike then you might find the m4's have a better useable power range.

joshualovesmtb (Nov 11, 2011 at 14:26)

thats what i would be riding

+ 1

bunkey (Nov 11, 2011 at 16:25)

If you're going to be dragging the brakes a lot then the M4's will need bleeding every week or so of hard riding to keep them tip-top. I can't comment on the V2's having never ridden them to that extent but I'd guess they might not be so bad with the larger twin piston design. Any brake will fade on huge descents - Everyone on Saints in our chalet had a real hard time with brake fade in France this summer. My M4's held up pretty well with DOT5.1 and kevlar pads but they still needed bled once in the 2 weeks we were out there. I have a pretty light bike though coming in at about 36/37lbs and I weigh in at just over 11 stone - Thats a big factor when deciding how much power you're gonna need for the most efficient possible braking.
