Is It Possible To Make A ShiMaven Brake?

Shigura is a "relatively" common upgrade on some forums. Have trusted mechanic friends who, while they haven't done it because TRP, they have been decidedly curious about doing it. That could be a good way to go.

Juicy levers with Lewis hoses and Dominion calipers is the $$ move.

I'm doubtful that Shimano levers would push enough fluid for those huge pistons, on the Maven or Gustav.

I wager you'd get used to new levers pretty quick.

I think I’m gonna back off spending my way out of the dilemma, outside of some new chi-chi Galfer pads. Thanks for entertaining all of this, it has been cool to ponder. But the new Shimano DH brakes are on the ‘first buy’ list, likely along with whatever new drivetrain appears.

I guess I just gotta do ‘grip strength’ excercises all day, every day.

Viva, pm incoming!

MTX pads are pretty awesome. I’ll be running their gold pads in Peru.

I used to use those grips strength things to ride dirt bikes which was incredibly hard on the arms and hands

Relevant to the lever pull force discussion, happened across this (Sorry for the insta link):

I have to add: I may like the little one finger levers on Shimano brakes better than others. If I could change just the lever blade on the MT7's, I probably would. Also, the MT7 levers squeak a little when just standing there squeezing the brake. Unacceptable for a brake like that. My over 10 year old SLX levers don't squeak.

There's these:

Anyone?
Edit: that's the price for 1 lever, not 1 pair. Lol, gtfo. The entire M8100 brake lever/master cylinder is about the same price.
