Palomar is a fun mt to play on but most of those corners down the south side are not forgiving past the railing. I'm about 200lbs and was on the brakes harder then normal cuz I was on my cx bike with 35c Sammy slicks. Knobby tires and heavy leaning probably doesn't bold too well. Rode up Nate Harrison grade, the 10% dirt way up
I'm running SRAM Force with the bb7 160/140mm
I know the SRAM hydro system was recalled after UCI world CX race was done early this yr. The system saw failure in o rings and piston parts at or below freezing temps. Rumor has it the shimano system spent allot more time in r&d before going production. Which is a good thing IMO
