Honestly man I been here since the beginning and I’m glad to see what an amazing content creator you have become. IMO you have one of the best bike content channels on YouTube at this moment. Can’t wait to see you grow even bigger.

2:26 Fluid escaping through the vent hole. The membrane in the reservoir is probably damaged or misalligned. In these brakes (as well as Hope Tech3/4) the mambrane also acts as a seal for the reservoir's lid. So if you put too much pressure in the reservoir, the membrane gets stretched too much and the sealing function is disturbed.

Imagine the high-end bike parts on a s-works stumpjumper frame, Evan that would be the dreammm!!
-
Next upgrade gonna be the frame itself. Kudos to your series, never thought a 3k bike is still a "lowbike"
-
Really looking forward to the finale. I'm predicting that the law of diminishing returns will be the major lesson when it's all finished.
-
So happy to see your channel grow, been here for a long time and the production quality is amazing. You deserve every bit of success you achieve :)
-
Oh baby! I've got a set of Hayes Dominion A4's on their way to me as we speak. Lookin' forward to Maximum Brake-i-Tude.
-
I would have gone for the Shimano mt520/501 as they are sub 100$ extremely powerful 4 pot brakes
-
This series has been amazing! Love the content man keep up the awesome work!
-
This video is amazing! Really happy to see your content get higher and higher quality. Great video!
-
My piston fell out too when I bled my Magura brakes! Such a pain in the ass cause you have to start everything over again. And as a beginner mechanic it was already quite an involved job.
-
From this series this channel is growing. Keep this work up and hopefully you will reach 100k end of this year best of luck.
-
When i swapped my 2 piston tektro brakes to a 4 piston saint brake, i noticed a massive differnce in performance i think the change was so worth it
-
It all felt too fast. I'm not quite ready to watch this series come to an end. This was a really fun series and educational at the same time. I hope I can see a sequel to this series in the near future!
-
