Resurrecting this thread. Rebuilding master cylinder piston tomorrow on my R0s; the US distributor, BTI, was told by Formula Italy that the piston kit is the same as the R1 kit. Guess I’ll find out.
called Manitou about getting the new Mezzer lowers with the bleed ports but they’re furiously retrofitting them to current batch and won’t have extras until September.
fork is still plush on initial stroke but as supportive in mid as you want. zero crown creak reputation maintained.
Did my first real ride on tahoe roxxors today on the Mezzer Pro. thumbs up. for anyone looking for overall stiffness similar to a fox 38 but lighter, and w/ good tunability, it’s a good option.
I’m looking fwd to a future of linkage forks with battery activated eccentric pivots that not only allow dynamic offset thru the stroke (because linkage) but also also a choice of preset offset curves depending on trail conditions and how much weight is in your fanny pack.
Ian Alexander, the engr behind Whyte bikes, goes into some detail on his decision a few yrs back to go with reduced offset in this 2017 article: https://m.pinkbike.com/news/whyte-s-150-carbon-rs-review.html
From what I’ve seen, the rave reviews of the S150 in Yurp several yrs ago appeared to...
This^^. Based on reviews I figured the midsole would be a bit stiffer than my 5.10s, with moar Cush, and they are in fact better for downcountry trailduro epics as a result. Not insanely sticky but allow for repositioning. Only negative is that my super high instep sorta crowds out the...
nope. :D
Thinking back, I first heard this from a Giant dealer. Then read it in a British mag review. I haven't ridden it and have no opinion either way.
Got R0s for $120, free shipping, at Wiggle a few days ago to add to my collection.
I have man hands though.
Crazy how cheap formula stuff is from the euro retailers.
