    I have the RSCs on my Bronson. I don't mind them.

    I have some ZEEs on my fat bike that I was thinking about swapping on the stache and selling the guides with the fatty. Those ZEEs grip like freight trains when they engage if you panic slam them..

    I’ve had zero success with any SRAM brake. All have been garbage for me. Their drivetrains are tolerable, but seem to require constant adjustment in my experience.

    I’m a Shinano fan. XT brakes are a must for my bikes. I’d go Zee/saint if I had more gravity influenced riding in my life. XT 12 speed drive or a new fork will be next seasons big purchase for my little fuel.

    I put ZEEs on my fat bike because once those tires get rolling, they don't wanna stop.

    So is the Stache a done deal? In your possession?

    Sweet! Let me know if your back brakes suck. I'm curious if it's just my bike. My front brakes are great

    I used to have the same issue, then a shop tech told me to set the b-tension at sag. No more finickiness. I have 1K on the 12sp GX eagle, still shifts perfect despite a few hits (a couple new cables tho).

    Ok so I think I have an issue with my capara. I keep bottoming out. Set the psi on my forks and a week or so later it lose almost all of the air I put in. Could it be the seals? I must of blown the forks when I tied it down. Fml

    Admittedly, the kitty tank top may have had something to do with my PR smashing pace.
