How are you liking the DT remote over the oneloc? Currently using that one but the DT seems like a good replacement. Not that costly and "huge" weight saving. Can you post a photo of it installed on your bars? internet is not very helpful to show me installed pics ;-) Thanks!

DT remote is great so far, the way I have it setup makes it easier to quickly push up or down.

Which way is lock? Push down to lock and up to unlock would seem logical. Much effort needed for both actions?

Up is lock down is open, but you can turn the lockout around and have it the other way around

Tidy!

How are you getting on with the Magura brakes? I've just built up my new bike with MT Pros (MT8's with an alu lever) and am excited to get riding them. Very different feel from Shimano

Really like them, the biggest difference is the modulation, my shimano’s didn’t have any, these do. Plenty of power even with these lightweight rotors. Definitely do get some rotors that are 1,9-2,0 thick, as Magura’s are build around 2mm rotors

Finally got myself a Rockshox Sid SL Ultimate. This brought the weight down to 8.8kg.

Hey robbo, sorry to revive the thread, but any chance to remove the logos on the handlebar? Sanding only? I would like to buy one but the logo game is too strong for me.

How's the SID comparing to Reba? I currently have a Reba ( in the shop for a Charger RD upgrade )

Thanks!

Hi, yeah logo removal can only be done by sanding I am afraid. If you want a bar with little to no logos I would recommend Lyti by dulight or mt zoom.

Fork is great and definitely more responsive. Mainly the high speed rebound feel’s a lot better.

Hi Rob, would you like to post the exact specification of the parts?
