Imagine legitimately thinking any Code ultimates are a downgrade. Shimano are cheap and work that’s why you get them. They’re not on the same level as these brakes.

I also hate thier cranksets, but more than anything I hate thier customer loyalty. It took a total of 6 months for Sram to identify a problem and to issue a recall. Shimano knew for 11 years that thier cranks were bad and did nothing, and even when they did something, it was a fake recall. For this, I can't forgive them. Enjoy your bike, man

They are not using a heavy set of 4 pistons with the biggest rotors avaible with 200 or even 220 mm with ticker rotors (to control better the heat) because ''they dont brake much''. The TRP is the first brand to initiate the trend of 220 mm rotors and accorndly to Sram, every 20 mm is about 14% more torque.

@macvos

Ай бұрын

@@hooyabaaa2 point is that brakes don't matter as much for top riders. Avid used to sell Juicy/Elixir WC brakes. These were probably the weakest pieces of cr*p from any major brake manufacturer available, but were still used by succesful riders. WC wins have been achieved on both Shimano Saint and on SRAM brakes, both on the opposite ends of the boat anchor versus modulation spectrum. Fast riders tend to brake as little and as short as possible (because of technique). A trained DH rider is therefore much less likely to overheat his/her brakes or not have enough power than an overweight amateur dragging his brakes all down the black descent. Of course athlete racers prefer good equipment and minimize risks, so they'll use powerful brakes regardless. Give them weaker brakes and they'll large rotors to compensate for that. But give them SRAM Code RSC with 180mm rotors and they'll manage, while I would set them on fire and crash.

@hooyabaaa2

Ай бұрын

​@@macvos The concept is the same as F1... Brake as late and as hard as possible without locking the wheels to improve lap times. We know that montain bike have areas where you do this, or some areas when you need to control the speed. Saints have more power than almost any brake in the market (maybe Trickstar or Hopes have more power), but many top riders will prefer riding XTR´s or even a mix of XTR levers with Saints calipers to have more control. The initial bite of Shimano brakes are wayyyyyyyyyyyyy more powerfull than basically any brake in the market (so they feel way more powerfull than they really are). Codes ,SLX, XT and XTR´s at 40 nm of pressure in the levers (or about 4 kg), all have similar breaking torque (this is tested in a dyno). Pads plays a huge part in braking torque... I have a pair of Avid Code 5 from 2008 that still works perfectly, but i swaped the pads for some really cheap ones... I cant even explain how bad my brakes are now, lol.
