What's "arm pump"? I'm unfamiliar with the term.

Sore fore arms from braking, on longer technical down hills, aka stuff your

Ah. I remember my wife complaining about that from one long, steel

I’ve not heard it ever used by roadies but MTBers whose terrain will push
brakes rather harder, and why they have 4 pot and bigger rotors and so on.
This said my MTBing even at my weight two pot seems ample the SLX finned
stuff I’ve yet to get it to fade, which I did with the original brake set,
with the same rotors.
