PLEASE CHECK IT OUT. Brakes, lube, trannys, repairs, tips, comparisons, you name it! The brake section is very educational.
While no one can write about this stuff to achieve complete agreement from everyone, the author's articles seem to be very well written and very educational. Some go into great detail.
