Bro, maybe your are trying to impress the channel gurus who've never been to Sumatra by bringing up the Bukittinggi to Maninjau decent, but that's a decent of under 500 meters over 33km. Having overlanded in Sumatra and with decades of experienced in Indonesia, I ain't impressed and don't think that's any yardstick for disc brake performance over sustained descents. Heck, I've got a descent twice as high in my own backyard in Bali from Kintamani at 1,400masl to Ubud in 200masl, and I've done that several times with rim brakes. 😂😂😂
Here you go, buddy, a descent from Bedugul at 1,300masl to 200masl on a 305er with rim brakes. Yeah, Bukittinggi to Maninjau is a real torture test of disc brakes 😂.
As for sharing or not sharing Lotus specs and measurements, no skin off my back, really. Don't forget that I own the real thing, the original, the
FnHon Gust 16", not a copy-cat of copy-cat, Johnny-come-latekly bandwagoneer. Don't lose sight of the ball. Shiet, in Indonesian we'd say,
masa buaya dikadalin. As if it's the crocodile which fears the gecko. In Spanish,
ubícate. Just a few weeks ago you couldn't make out a Gust from a Storm, bro, and you wanted to install Big Apples on a 349 wheel. 😂 GMAFB.
