SIDLuxe tune a ‘23 Epic

Hi, I am looking to replace the Brain suspension on my Epic 7. I’m somewhat set on a 3P remote SIDLuxe, but the question is - which tune should I be looking for?

I found one on marketplace from a ‘26 Lux WC, but are the suspension kinematics anything alike? Or is it not that big of a deal?

Low cornering confidence

Hi everyone,
I race XCM and my biggest weakness is descending. I feel much more confident cornering on 28mm road tires than my 2.35” Mezcals. I run what all tire pressure calculators spew out (~1bar), but during hard cornering, the sidewall sometimes gives out and I lose all my confidence..
I’m 65kg, bike is 11kg and on 30mm internal rims, tubeless.

TLDR: Sidewall not holding in corners, wrong pressure? Bad tires? Narrow rims? Skill issue?

Vision Team 35SL - help

Hi everyone,
so these are my Vision wheels and the hub is sloppy as hell. I have around 3500km on them, but they’ve been like this since ~800km. Back then I brought them to my lbs and they returned the bike the next day saying that the wheels are just bad, and that other customers have had a similar experience. Is there really nothing to be done?

(Don’t ask me how I managed to put that many km on these - I have no idea)
