Valley View McLovin chesty 1

 The first ride down he lost his brakes, This is a very steep trail with no flat spots for your brakes to cool down. Almost everyone has lost their brakes on this trail at one time or another, usually their first time (even my 130lb girlie) His Saints are 180 front, 160 rear. I think bigger rotors will help. And I don't think you can run D.O.T. fluid in Shamano. Bike is at the shop getting bled. I used to have Avid Codes, they worked well, but I think because of the large caliper/large Pad surface area they heat up faster and hold that heat for longer. The trick is to be able to know when your brakes start to fade, then let up off them(which on this trail is the same time that you need them to stop you the most) that allows the brakes to cool down. Each brake has its own characteristic. You should ride this trail and tell me what you think of your Codes after that!

 Yeah bigger rotors will help.

 Yeah Mc Lovins arms looked like he got in a fight with a cat! I was wearing long sleeves for shure.

 Yeah, that shit is annoying, I agree, f*ck!ng Saint brakes! Did it blow your speakers out listening to the squeal? I told him to get "the ones"Formulas. He lost his rear brake completely, none at all, lever all the way to the bar (not like the Ale Works bar, that would have been better)

 Yeah fast and steep, although you cant tell from the video how steep it really is.

 Yeah, raw clip. Going to be a edited movie coming out in a theater near you soon. But for now, lower the volume on your computer. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you, come again.
