I'm with you Paul. Had a pair of six c on the Knolly. Swapped 'em out for Deity aluminum. Honestly, like the metal better, so I put them on the wife's bike. Dont see the proposed advantage being worth the price.

I lock up deore calipers this last ride and I haven't bleed them yet... go figure. I'd like more power but I have been having issues with brake fade, I am hoping larger pads with stop the fade.

Where are you getting brake fade ? My first DH bike had crappy ass Avid Juicys on it, and with 203mm rotors I never had a brake fade issue at Creek. Only time I had brake fade, was with Magura Louise's that were on my old slayer at Creek, and they were basically junk after that. So while 4 pot brakes are awesome, and possibly more powerful, I'm not sure what trails around here have long enough high speed descents to necessitate them. Sounds like an adjustment in braking technique should solve any issues.

I like my teeth too much for cheap carbon bars but you do you. As for the brakes, my buddy runs Zee's and he likes them so if the price difference isn't that much I'd go that way.

I worry about this. I bought a set of box carbon bars for $60 shipped.

Your prob not dealing with fade as those places shouldn’t cause fade it is most likely air or dirty fluid. Btw if your ordering carbon I will give you money and order me a set of 800 carbon 25-35mm rise also need a 35 mm stem. Assuming your ordering your normal ccr based on price of nuke proof more order better shipping so I will split with you
