DQ: sup bought this cause of color, branding and wanting to go poopbarning. I’m thinking about brakes. She wants flat bears, so I’m putting hydro on it. Problem is rear is FM, and I’m not feeling FM to PS*. Levers will be BL-MT400 (cause it’s 2019 and 2 finger wet brakes) front caliper will be BR-MT400. What FM caliper should I use for the rear?
*edit
Cue music
Which 1" threaded headset to reduce noodlebike shimmy?
so you are willing to spend more to get two different brakes instead of a simple adaptor to get two same brakes that fit post mount?
um maybe… or should I just go with BB7’s?

i joined tarck in 2008, if that’s any indication.
I’m happy fixed gear frames are available with oversized headtubes as the current batch of Fox and Rock Shox forks are not available without tapered steerer tubes if you want a decent damper
In reality i’m guessing those bikes are made for tapered forks since it’s easier to build a cheap open mold carbon fork that won’t fall apart with a tapered steerer, it seems
Manitou still makes a straight steerer fork of some sort of quality.
dirt jump forks readily available for straight steerer and 26" wheels
I’m sick and tired of overpriced niche reenactment pieces. I bought the wrong bike
I’ll pay $50
Need silver.
This is such A hassle. Bikes suck
I probably have a silver stronglight A9 needle headset somewhere I could sell you. I thought there was some other needle jobber folks here liked.
Are you sure that doesn’t commit you to two different kinds of brake pads?
can use the bottom half of this, with whatever yolo top half: https://www.wiggle.com/miche-1-headset-threadless/
Good point, I’ll just use the FM to PS adapter
