Rester5350 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I have been pleased with my hopes and have actually gotten pretty good at bleeding them solo on the trail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gex Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I had a bad experience with some old Hope M4s on my Turner DHR. Also won't use Avids anymore after years of running Juicy 7s and Elixer CRs. Now it's Shimano Xt's on the trail bike and hard tail. Saints on the down hill rig.

05RedGTWagon Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Really happy to find this thread. Subarus and mountain bikes are pretty much a package deal. Just picked up a new bike and the signle digit temps are killing me. http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p4pb11611245/p4pb11611245.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BraddA Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Of course, new gen XTR's have amazing cooling properties and the perfect modulation. They're awesome, no doubt. Blasphemous as it may sound, the Guides may be awesomer, at least in the modulation dept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
