I still can't forgive them for making a brake that couldn't be used in the mud, fuck Hope, fuck them to hell.
New Whip? New toys for the dependable steed?

What brake was that? I ran the old T3 V4s for many years of both DH racing and multi day enduros in horrendous conditions and they never blew me away for power but their consistency on long runs and changing conditions won me over.
I only swapped to the Dominions now for the lighter lever feel and better power.
Is that all?
Tech V2, I'd get grit under the little convex bit the drives the piston and that seemed to side load the piston.
The ano inside the master was worn off on one side of the bores within a year of pretty light use.
The earlier Moto lever was way better than the V2, I still hated both brakes which is why they live in the English parts section the garden.

Serious hey. I had the T3 V4. Used them for Trans BC/NZ/Madeira. Rain, snow, mud and 40ºC+ days. Never really changed bite point, always sorta worked the same. Not great power (about the same as Codes), but consistent - which is what I wanted.Wut?
Shitty to bleed though. Fuck taking reservoir caps off. Stupid idea.
Dominions are bloody good though. Moar powa, super light action, a little noisy when hot though.
That's just the stock metal pads. Loads of third party options (Galfer, etc.) that are quieter.
The Galfer ?
The hayes metal pads
OK. Wanted to try different pads cause they do howl sometimes.
