Great week for content here. Entertaining opinion pieces and then a review of an unglamorous product. I enjoy these ones a lot more than the more predictable reviews of top-end stuff.
Should I be defending the Codes on my 150mm bike? I feel the urge to, though it may reveal something about me as a rider. They just work well. I like how other brands make powerful brakes without having to go full DH, but I really like the RSC lever feel and SRAM's small parts availability, already had the bleed kit, and their lesser brakes are... lesser. It seems to me the Code RSC should be the brake of choice for almost anyone (in the SRAM ecosystem) who enjoys descending.
