My shop said that not only did one of the caliper's pistons crack, TRP doesn't even make the brake in post mount form anymore, so I guess it's back to cable disc brakes again. 🙃
Today in tk's #seabikes adventures: descending from Phinney Ridge without a functioning front brake. 😱
(The bike has TRP Hylex hydraulic disc brakes. I took it to my LBS after and they said that it looks like the caliper might've sprung a leak and has been contaminating the rotor. I've had the brakes for several years now, so I'm not too bothered.)
Oh no! I have Hylex post-mounts on my road-ish bike. They are by far the best brakes I've ever owned. Zero maintenance, save for replacing pads, in over 13000km.
Yeah, Gmail has a feature where it'll retrieve emails from another server, using either POP3 or IMAP (assuming the other server supports that)
It's under Settings -> Accounts and Import -> Check email from other accounts
Once retrieved, you can then set up filters for it as normal, including forwarding
One limitation is that there's no way to set how often it'll check — it'll check as often as it sees fit. That can be an issue for confirmation emails, which sometimes expire quite quickly.
For clarification, I was asking about setting #GMail up so that if I sent e-mails from one account to the GMail account, they'd be forwarded with the GMail account as the From and Reply-to fields.
When you realize that #carbain didn't "just happen" and that it was the result of years of propaganda, lobbying, and other form of influence by the auto industry. >:(
Harley's current strategy of "milk our existing customers for all they're worth" as opposed to their previous strategy of "get more people into our brand" really feels like a sign of the times in a more general sense. :/ #motorcycle
I originally thought I'd just use the stock pads until they were worn down, but they stopped just badly enough to convince me to put in Kool-Stop salmon pads. (It wasn't scary, but I wanted more confidence in my stopping.)
Always remember to sand your brake pads a little prior to installation. 👍

Yes, cantis. I like them. 🤷 They work well when set up correctly: straddle as low as you can get them to start, then raise little by little if you prefer. Having a lower cable hanger will additionally reduce system flex and improve stopping.
Even those dreaded Tektro "Oryx" 992A calipers. You need the straddle super low, but they work great that way. (That does also mean that they have limited tire clearance!)
(Oh, and this isn't a "rim versus disc" debate starter. If anything, it would be a "cantis suck" debate. :P )
@enobacon U Brakes are once again resurrected as “braze on centerpulls”. I have some on my old Centurion ProTour. Love the Tektro CR720 cantis, sadly discontinued it appears. Luckily I have a backstock.
