So I've got a set of Formula the Ones that were working perfectly fine before a trip to Thredbo.
The front rotor now rubs on rotation and howls so badly that I almost refuse to ride it now.. Nothing worse than the howl to let everyone know you are coming down a hill.. :tape2: The LBS seems to think it's an issue with the how close the calipers are with the rotor (There is hardly any throw in the lever). They spent some time looking at it, but unable to sort it out. Anyone have the same issue with Formulas? Could it be an issue with the Formula rotors?
Anyway, I entertained the idea of running XTR trails (203/180) or Guide RSC (203/180) on the DH. Has anyone had experience on both? I've heard good things about the RSC. Which would have more power outright stopping power?
I have XTR trails (180/160) on my trail bike and it's plenty of power. 90% of DH will be at Stromlo. I know Saints are the business for DH, but they weigh a ton and I'm less than 150lbs. Do I really need them?
