Capricorn Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) LOL.. feels like I'm on the verge of filling a whole forum with SRAM "leaks"... apparently, on the same in the previous shot of the proto RD, a new avid 4-pot caliper... allegedly of course..

(Deon) Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Nah, me thinks you are leaking the news of a four pot..
(Deon) Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Aw, I hate being wrong.. forgiveness? "Also spotted in the background of Hilton's bike is an as-yet-unannounced four-piston Avid hydraulic disc brake — either a successor to the current Code or a more powerful variant of the company's versatile Elixir range. As compared to a conventional two-piston setup, four smaller pistons would theoretically allow for more carefully tuneable pressure distribution on the pad backings along with more efficient heat transfer from pad to caliper for improved cooling." - Bike radar
DJR Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 I hope it doesn't leak, have you seen what brake fluid does to a white paint job? Or do they use mineral oil like sissies?
Capricorn Posted January 26, 2012 Author Posted January 26, 2012 i hope they not using the tears of clowns, cos if they do, we've got a forum full of donors....
Capricorn Posted January 26, 2012 Author Posted January 26, 2012 The RD and caliper is, IMHO, clearly a Me2! strategy by SRAM. But honestly, I wish they would stop with this mad race where product cycles are one year or less, but in reality, the new sticker price is justified by a color change and new coating...
(Deon) Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 My Hope Tech M4 have been four pot since 2006 yes, yes we know.. all that time to copy a perfect product. Big S better not get it wrong!
(Deon) Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 I hope it doesn't leak, have you seen what brake fluid does to a white paint job? Or do they use mineral oil like sissies? Ja, what he said!

Caerus Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Someone needs to be sacked with all these "leaks"
Wyatt Earp Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Someone needs to be sacked with all these "leaks"If you follow them on FB they leak it themselves
Caerus Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 If you follow them on FB they leak it themselves I use Shimano, so no need lol.

schmoose Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 A SRAM leak would be them leaking pro downhillers who ride their kit ;-)
