    zee vs guide rsc

    Hi there. I bought a gambler in 2014 with avids on it and went to zee because of higher power but i did not see lot of changes. They're also not that consitant but maybe i would need a bleed. I'd go with the guides

A lot of people told me to relax...

    2nd dh rig

    Well i'm also not a huge fan of bigger wheels but at least its not 29". I was lost between the desicion of going carbon or alloy. The alloy one might also have a bit better parts on it. I'm gonna watch the bikes. Compare both, watch wich one is in better shape. (They're test bikes ). And then...

    Rear Wheel Weight

    Good advices guy i'm gonna see if i can upgrade some parts. It's kinda strange cause the front wheel feels way better and lighter. Basically it's almost the same. except on the front I have a 203mm disc a slightly different hub, syncross rim and no cassette. But i can't believe it's that much of...

    Brake Pads

    Not really less brake but some that lasts a little longer :) Like tires, (harder rubber or used tire for training and better tires with softer compound for racing) but I guess it wouldn't make that much difference. Thanks to all for the answers. Do that extra loop really help cooling ? can't...

    Brake Pads

    I'm currently running Zee's. But I have no idea about the Pads. I didn't think about the fact that there are different friction pads till today (I feel pretty dumb right now) Do you think it's useful running less efficient pads for practice and the more aggressive ones for racing ?

    Brake Pads
