Sorry to say because I really want to like stuff like this but… meh.

The hub architecture seems very interesting but why massively increase your market friction by using a proprietary disc standard? Self sabotage.

There’s not much point giving us bike measurements and settings without rider weights and measurements.

Really pretty bike.

Such a good looking bike.

But it works. And the ‘shorter’ length keeps your weight forward and aggressive. It’s not supposed to be a sofa.

The geo is great. People are wild. This is already slack and the length is right for fun and keeping your weight aggressive. I don’t want to ride a sofa thanks.

Here are some excellent perspectives on how these spokes work: https://www.wheelworks.co.nz/berd-spoke-ride-feel/

Maguras any day of the week.

This is super personal I think, and IRL depends on things like how much you use a keyboard, what particular other exercise your arms do or have done over your life, how you personal genetics have influenced the relative lengths of the various tendons in your arms and hands, etc etc. So at the obvious risk of falling into the trap of trying to prescribe a method for everyone, I have tried this a few times: Totally off the bike make an bar gripping fist. Move your braking finger(s) through the range of motion of the braking action. Move your wrist forward and back and keep making that brake pumping motion. Figure out the angle of your hand where it is easiest of all. Then go to your bike and set the levers at the corresponding angle to that easy angle for you. This is at least a good starting point for subtle changes depending on your setup and geometry. Your can tweak it from there to help overcome any other issues you might have with stack height, weighting the front wheel or whatever your particular bike might need.
