Has anyone tried pairing a set of TRP DH-R Evo levers to MT7 or Cura 4 calipers? According to NSMB, the MCs have 9mm pistons and are compatible with mineral oil. A TRP/Formula pairing would put it at the very top for hydraulic leverage.
I'm also looking for some brake recommendations.
I've...
you're probably done with your school project by now, but here's something similar to what you are thinking about:

though not implemented in the manner in which you describe, here's a system with similar functions and plenty of benefits. Bose, project sound.

So here's what I gather for what makes a Marzocchi so desirable.
- Reliable
- Durable
- Strong
- Good lubrication - longer bushing life
- Set and forget
- low maintenance
- easy to work on
- Easy Tunability
- Super plush
- Feels good
- Smooth
- Takes the hits nicely
- Fork...
Brian, I don't know if the mushiness is coming from a bad bleed or uneven pistons, but after messing with the pistons, the mushiness is gone!
Thanks to everyone for the help. :)
I have the hope M4 with Pro Open Levers. The front is rock solid but the rear is pretty mushy. I've bled the darn thing a few times already but I just can't get the lever to feel right. I'm following the directions on hope's tech manual, and I think I've done everything right. Does anyone...
Thanks for all the replies!
I'm sure you are better mechanics than I am and know the fork inside out. But I know that the problem is coming from these plastic guards. Perhaps the rubbing on mine is just more severe. It's not just a clear coat I've lost; 1 or 2 mm of metal have actually...
Ever since day 1, my fork's been feeling pretty crappy. I finally realized that the problem was coming from the stanchion guards. They were pressing on the upper legs and the friction between the two pretty much killed the smoothness of the fork. It's so bad that the plastic guards have...
