Are these the most powerful brakes in the world?

The harder you pull the lever the more braking power you get is exactly how brakes are supposed to work....

It's not modulation the thing you didn't like, it's actually brake power. Those brakes had too much power for you. If the brakes didn't have modulation you would have no way to slow down without skidding. To make them less prone to overbrake without changing brakes, I would have just put smaller rotors or changed the pad compound. But Shigura is def a better value proposition.

1:35 No, you didn't "experience brake modulation", you simply pulled the lever too hard and had your center of gravity in the wrong place for the given time. Brake modulation doesn't mean the relative increase in force that the pistons push out at as you pull the lever further in. The modulation means how much "squish" there is that can be controlled before the wheel locks. And for the rider, brake modulation means the physical ability to be precise with the brakes and being able to control the braking force with your fingers, instead of locking the wheels every time you brake.

man i love yo videos, even if youre a small youtuber, you still give in one of top tier content, like you explaining stuff feels rlly easy to understand and it feels relaxing

Massive fan of your videdos! Keep up the good work!

Man I have been watching you’re vids for a while and you have improved to making some of the best quality films I have seen in a while. I love you’re honesty and experiments, keep up the great work.

Awesome content Evan Love your videos! Keep it Going!🔥👍

Love the longer riding segment

nice video man, seeing it from brazil and i want to se more crazy things like these

I like your channel so much that I subscribed after two videos

Brilliant video mate 👍

Great video as always

Nice video. Shigura for the win. Have this setup on 2 of my rigs, (one two pot setup and one four pot setup). I use 9210s on my 4 pots because servowave ftw. It doesn't really matter which calipers you use (get the cheapest ones!), and it doesn't matter which brake fluid or lines you use. Highly recommend bleeding using a syringe on the top side and back-bleeding through the magura calipers for best results. Also, don't connect the caliper to the frame until the bleed is complete so you can get the air pocket that likes to get stuck in there.

Never heard of this till now, but I have used Shimano Brakes and Magura rotors before. Works good 👍🏻

I'm a huge fan of the on-off feel of Shimano too!

I had the exact same shigura setup, broke a lever and switched back to full magura, used steel braided brake hoses and adjustable Oak root-lever pros... it's a little more expensive, but I like that setup the most so far. You can set it up to have full brake power in like 3mm of lever travel.

Great video as always! What's the name of the tool you used to cut brake hoses and press the nips and olives?

Man i love the new camera set up on the bike! Keep it up man I remember when you were at 7k subscribers and now your at almost 50k. So proud man, keep going! 👍

I bought a set of Magura Mt5 trail sport . The front brake is 4 piston, the rear 2 pistons. Rolled back in 2021, without mountains and steep descents. Regularly serviced, pumped with the original liquid. This year, on the front brake of 4 pistons, one began to climb out more than the others. and pressed the rotor with a skew to the brake housing. I cleaned the pistons, lubricated them, pumped them again-nothing helped-as the pads worked crookedly, it didn't get any better. Rear brake: the pistons come out unevenly - one goes further, and the other lags behind. One pad rubs on the disk, the second is fine. Cleaned, oiled, enough for a few stops, then again one shoe came out. I concluded for myself that all these games with Magura, Formula and others are useless. Shimano works without problems. brakes perfectly, informative. There are no problems with pumping, pads on Aliexpress can be found without problems, as well as spare parts for the brake itself. Why these experiments with crooked brakes?

Thank you for the way you did the sponsor message. Loved the way you worked on the other half of the screen! 🤘
