There is heat shrink tubing with waterproof adhesive built in, that stuff should work great.

It's tenacious stuff and not easy to remove. I didn't realize it needed to come off regularly.

The big lever recall was quite awhile ago, like 2013* or so. The symptom there was lever-to-bar with no braking force, a very bad time. There was a more recent piston issue that is supposed to be fixed now (for new production brakes). Something to do with the jig/method used for installation of the pistons. The pistons could end up being installed slightly angled at the factory and they would lock up and fail to retract. I've heard you can fix it by forcing the piston back into the caliper and rebleeding, but mine (guide) was so locked up I gave up trying to do it. IIRC this particular thing usually shows up right away, not after a lot of use, so maybe it is yet another separate problem. *might be misremembering the exact year, but it was more than a few years ago taqueso fucked around with this message at 00:58 on Aug 27, 2022 |

I think the axs derailleurs are designed to slip instead of bending and there is some kind of mechanism that makes it possible to move the cage if you push hard enough. I've seen it demoed on a mtb axs, not sure about road but I think it is the same basic design (also good luck getting it to line up with a cog nicely) taqueso fucked around with this message at 04:16 on Jan 8, 2023 |

A bike mechanic friend gave me this wisdom a long time ago: if you replace your cables every couple years they will never break.

e: ^^^wrap some electrical tape around that all tidy and it's good as new Tubeless is awesome, no more pinch flats. It is the opposite of a fad.

VelociBacon posted:, the high end of pressure in automotive braking systems with brake boosters etc can be 1200-2000psi, it's a completely different animal. Full power ham fisted braking on a bike is 2-3k psi.

VelociBacon posted:On a bicycle or a motorcycle? Bicycle. I got curious about this and asked a sram mtb brake design engineer a few months ago. Normal braking is around 500 psi, max power braking 2000-3000. taqueso fucked around with this message at 02:45 on Jan 13, 2024 |
