It works great once set up but, as it ever was with Gustav brakes, setting the floating caliper to run drag free-enough for non-DH riding is an exercise in patience.
This in an old caliper I’ve had since new and I had a nerdy moment where I just had to try hooking it up.
Where back in the day I could make a strong argument for the Gustav v. it’s contemporaries the Magura 4-piston calipers don’t really give up anything performance wise while being lighter and easier to setup so I’ll switch back when time allows.
Any opportunity to bike nerd right!?
