I actually just sold my Stroker Ryde brakes off the Parker. Buyer hasn't even paid for them yet. I don't like them though. I imagine the Trail would be better, but I'd rather go bb7 than my old Stroker. D swears by the higher end Strokers though. I wonder if they use different calipers or master cylinders than the Ryde. Mine were a bit under powered and really loud.

Ya I gotta stop moaning. If my Elixirs still perform alright for a while, I'm cool. If I put $50 into them including the fluid I bought and they decide to take a crap, I'll be pissed. Really doesn't matter much around here...I don't use my brakes much compared to people with mountains. Mine don't need to dissipate heat. They just give me a little bit of added control.

I've always wanted Hope or Formula brakes. I should make that my next savings priority.
