Was just re-watching the "Croatia Trials Camp 2019" video. Around 2018-2019 it seemed like every 3rd euro rider was sponsored by Maestro; I remember thinking their carbon frames looks super bad-ass; especially coming in lots of different colors.   Recently I saw on FB they released a new 26" carbon frame.  Did these carbon frames all break or did people just hang them up and move on to Crewkerz and Clean?     Wa

The current setup of my Zoo Python.  Really wanted to enjoy this after longing for another for so long but the lack of Echo forks with full steerer tubes has properly hampered how this feels to ride now 😑 Only thing due to change is the front brake going to a Hope Tech lever on Echo caliper (when I get round to doing it)   

Thanks for the reply. That's the general idea I've got from reading around as well. Seems like the best option.

Passed the promotion interview board at work, which i'm very happy about. Got offered a role that I wasn't expecting and comes with significantly more responsibility than i've had before. On the positive side it also comes with significantly more money. Hopefully I can adapt to the new role and maintain a reasonable work/life balance, as there's not much point in extra money if you can't enjoy it. Also, the bottom end of my Audi S4 engine has been built, i've rebuilt the K04 turbos, just the heads to do and it all goes back in the car. Sadly it won't be ready for our wedding in May. But that was always ambitious. I really can't wait to get it back on the road, it should be much more fun than the little Suzuki Swift i've been borrowing. And finally after a year out due to injury and getting fat, i'm back to climbing. Definitely not at the level I was, fingers crossed i'll shift some more chub and build on the strength i've got Definitely feels good to be moving in the right direction

Sounds pretty standard for those Echo pistons. The only recommendation I'd give is to source some Magura slaves (or ideally a full brake) and swap them out
