Get some zebs and slam them. Until 20mm axles are readily available it's your best option to maintain a stiff front end.

Not that particular version of the brake but Tektro themselves are fine - Same as TRP brakes

Don’t look then. You’re welcome.
I haven’t lost any weight since taking up serious Tas training, despite also eating better. I wouldn’t mind, except I still have a fine spare tyre. Fucker won’t go no matter what I do

I've got them on my bike and I quite like them.
Never had any issue stopping with them. They don't feel quite as "crisp" as the avid codes on my DH bike, but then I've been meaning to do a brake bleed for a little while now, so that might have something to do with it.
So the cream bun and thickshake diet is not working? Weird.

Thank. Do you know if I can use my Shimano bleed kit with these or do they have their own "standard"?

M5 and M6 threads on the calliper and lever respectively I'm pretty sure.
Their bleed procedure has changed over the years, used to be a syringe on the calliper with a hose into a bottle at the lever.
The latest video I have seen has a syringe at both ends.

Do 12sp (XT) chains have a woeful life expectancy?
Based on an experience of one, Felix’s has ‘stretched’ prematurely. Would have had max of 1000km and hasn’t been in rough conditions. Also ran so rough even though no where near 0.75 on the chain checker, I was starting to think the roughness must be elsewhere, but ring, cassette and derailleur were all new at the same time as chain, and in mint condition.
Swapped out to a new chain, and running like clockwork. Hoping I’m not having to do this so regularly with the crap availability and ridiculous price.

Which helmets are you wearing from Giro? I have a bit of an egg head. I like Giro (have a Manifest, Montaro and Disciple), and find Specialized helmets are the other brand that fit me best. Also had good fit with TLD full face helmets in the past. Haven't tried Fox.

I've found Shimano chains to have a pretty short life compared to Wipperman, Kmc and Ybn.

I run mostly 10 and 11sp XT, and have never had an issue with their life. Running more KMC’s lately, mainly due to picking up a pile on special.
Might try some other 12sp options. Cheers.

I've got a giro half-lid and a Fox full-face (proframe I think) that fits really well. Didn't even need to change any of the padding.
