This thread makes me never want to use hydraulic brakes! Seems a pain.
hydraulic brakes can be a pain. and i guess they are right now. but they don't have to be. there are two technologies that are coming straight at us, they're here, the industry has demanded them, we have them, and they're tubeless and hydraulic. this thread is an outward expression of the gap between the knowledge and products we need, and the knowledge and products we have. behind the scenes i'm talking to brands about this.
on the one hand i'm certainly not the right guy to help solve this. one the other hand, i'm sort of the average joe, i ride bikes, i've got these bikes, i have to build them, work on them, and when i run into trouble i assume other people will run into trouble as well. so, i do expect that i'll be spending a fair bit of time writing about this, making videos and the like, because this thread just shows you the gap between the tech as it is presented to us, and the real world use of the tech.
