I need new brake pads for my Magura MT5. I've used Magura 9.P pads so far and have been very happy. But I want something with a mounting holes though. So BBB blue or gold?

I've been riding Maxxis Rekon for over a year. Great tire. Much better grip than Holy Roller. Very light. Unfortunately narrower. The tread disappears quickly. I had to change both tires after a year of riding.

I wouldn't consider a hub that's a few years old and has never been serviced. Maybe the hub broke because of worn bearings?

The hub looks good. Also inside. I wouldn't be afraid.

Right. It looks even worse in the videos.

Only on the wheels I save 824g: Continental Danny Macaskill 816g Maxxis Rekon 600g Normal tube 220g Tubolito 74g Rubber rim tape 34g Jistsie rim tape 11g Front Hope pro 5 hub 176g Front Inspired hub 153g Reah Hope pro 5 hub with 18t sprocket +/-500g Rear Inspired hub with Trialtech 18t freewheel 469g

You're right, they weigh similarly. My fourplay weighs 9.15kg. I don't have carbon parts or titanium cranks. Hex on carbon rims may weigh the same.

Magura brakes are about 100g lighter then others. Maybe more. Spokes? Double butted + alu nipples = -100g OEM chain tansioner + longer chain is probalby 30g hevier.

Don't buy used ones because they may be worn out. I did that and had to buy a second new set. https://www.ebay.pl/itm/355746747657?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=4908-175131-2357-0&ssspo=tv4vexx5ree&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I tried the Shigura on the new SLX M7100 levers and removed them after 1 ride. These Shimano radials are like Magura, only made of aluminum. I also have small hands (XS/S gloves). And these levers are great. Just hard to buy.

The best brake I have used and have is Shigura M665, M775 or M810. They are used by Clement Moreno and Euan Beaden. It's a good idea to install the rear brake on a steel-braided cable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKOJvwzVQ4M&t=1s&ab_channel=ClementMoreno https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIRQgEjDaec&t=98s&ab_channel=EuanBeaden

These brake levers are completely different. The old one looks more like the new HS33. https://www.ebay.pl/itm/205008770703?_skw=magura+mt4&itmmeta=01J8S2P9TEZED6MMC6TCM542C4&hash=item2fbb79968f:g:EA8AAOSwB2pjljSm&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKkDLHzZkGnRfwsQL9MOz3nFzhRRPlnDzFmR2P4193CJ2UiLZ3Zwx52bd1P5z7vqobZtNT9NJ9%2F7%2FB4qSVSQqFVbbIsUNh9XPqCPrkjbV%2FnCci2XLbRJT91j%2BXlMr7joNURfeAyB4%2BLZWTkJcTioNwlkHJ7RDFjQmX4YAx3JuPRJXK%2Bwq2jXytiD06pej9TB2B3xrTlXkELV28wkMiZQvE0Y2RmtxQ9Tw39FFY5LD1UAEi9WTJ%2BSbvDeF5xZrzHhhlsnmRB4yfHsyOAzewBD9VVd|tkp%3ABk9SR6id2aLGZA

It may be your foot's fault - it's too weak. It is worth rolling your foot and strengthening it. This happens to me when my 5.10 freerider shoes start to wear out. A new shoe and the problem disappears. The shape and size of the pedals also matter. I do not recommend small pedals or concave ones.

The question is how tall are you? I'm 170cm tall and the factory Fourplay set was too tall for me. With a high handlebar, the handlebar is easily torn up. Bunny hop is easier in the initial phase. For me, the lower the handlebars, the higher I jump. I have more room to pull the bike up. Currently I don't have any stem pads and I have a Qlab handlebar which is lower than the Inspired one.

I bought and installed such a cable from Ali to my Shigura. And the difference is noticeable. There's none of that final sponginess in the brake lever. EZMTB brake hose
