A few years back I lived in upper Lynne valley.  Broke my femur dirt jumping. Pleasant visit to LGH.  Titanium rod shoved into my femur.  Yes I'm part titanium. Two months later I learned how to walk down slippery wooden steps so I could get into the forest.  I was lucky to have metal binding my injury together. The forest is my church . Yes I take public transit . So nice having pleasant conversation verses listening to a driver complain about oh.... Everything.  People who take public transit smile. Bike commuters look happy. People in automobiles. Always have something or someone to complain about .  I actually prefer happy bus people to accepting a ride.  And I can do work on my tablet / laptop.  Gaze out the window.  God forbid I have to stand beside an attractive woman and strike up a conversation.   Thank you for a raher definitive comparison between 2 and 4 piston calipers.  I understand the better modulation of 4 piston calipers.  I have tested Maguras 4 piston  brakes . Massive power with a very different feel from Shimano .  I think I'm used to the snap you get from Shimano brakes .  I also like the price of Shimano non finned resin pads and availability.  Deor long lever non servo levers are cheap yet all metal with a great feel.  I believe my friend mated these levers to Maguras calipers .  I fondly remember you filming me ridding and falling off the Crippler rolor coaster. Perhaps this summer we can tackle upper and lower Crip.  Or Skull I love that trail . Except for the braids . People ride the trail please.   For now dream of the trails you will ride this summer. Us readers are delighted that your lack of riding brings us great introspection into alternative concepts on how to adorn our bikes with new parts .
