@@iwantmymtb have you ever tried a 4 piston Shimano like a Shimano XT or Shimano Zee? Their braking power is significantly more and they don’t fade on long descents 👌if ever you decide to switch brakes, maybe try them
@@ETSUalex 90% of performance complaints on SRAM brakes can be fixed by swapping their hot garbage OEM pads. Going to either Galfer or MTX improves initial bite while virtually eliminating heat fade (I've had mine literally smoking on 2000+ ft decents with no real difference in performance). Brake preference is very personal, just wanted to throw the recommendation out there for anyone as a cheaper, easier alternative to a brake swap.
@@phonebeminteresting. The gold Avid Pads are better Then every Pad from galfer. And i use galfer still in my saint but what U saxing makes No Sense. SRAM brakes are Just Not IT.
On the valves clogging, I noticed something in your video. Try to make a point of storing your bike with the valves at the bottom of the wheel (so they're pointing up) instead of at the top. This may sound counter-intuitive but if you think about it, this will allow the sealant to drain out instead of becoming trapped and hardening. Updating the damper to at least a Charger 2.1 on the fork would be an excellent upgrade and don't overlook a DVO Topaz when you're upgrading the shock.
You lost me at “I like SRAM brakes” 🤪😜😜 Very nice vid man 👌
Haha but I do 😂

👍🏼
Capra goes very well with coil shock and I would consider change yari to fox38 and brakes to something better for example shimano or magura
I’ve thought about the G2 RSC for brakes and I’m definitely upgrading the suspension soon
@@iwantmymtb if you like sram lever feel, go for code rsc, everything below is not worthy any penny
put the new rs vivid ultimate on it
That sounds fun! I need to look into that one. I was considering lyric ultimate or zeb

@@iwantmymtb I would go for the zeb
Should've got an ebike lol
I’m seriously considering it lol. The first brand that reaches out to the channel is having their bike on here hahahaha
