Brakes seem great so far. Only did one 30 mph descent. No pulsing. No noise. Stopping power seemed great so far.
Also did a short descent down a dam top with a sharp u turn down the rest of the trail. Slammed the brakes and tried to feel the braking surface for heat and it felt cool, on a 95 degree day. Will start pushing it a little more. Build the wheel myself with Carbon-TI rims so slowly testing the bike/wheels.
