isn't it just different? For example, I'm more interested in shorter wb and chainstay, and steeper ha and if possible steeper sta. That would suit my style of riding and what I'm interested in - tight stuff and climbing. Speed downhill isn't my priority. I would have thought that most other folk...
Circlip pliers :ROFLMAO:. Not specifically for ebike but the motivation is for the 200hr fork and shock service. Of course they are useful for any circlips. I bought a set to cover external and internal circlips; 1 each for 10 to 25mm, and 1 each for 19 to 60mm...
I don't know about your other issues, but this aspect is normal. It's the same for wheel bearings. Play doesn't show unless there is a bit of force. For example, to check for headset bearing play, I hold on front brake and push back and forth on the bike. This will show any movement. With wheel...
Sales and profit - that's business in general. They'll sell more the simpler it is. There's always those of us who are a bit more interested or mechanically sympathetic (chemically sympathetic?) :ROFLMAO:.
I use a timer. Every 1% = 225 sec, that's for up to 80%. I have a shimano slow charger and a 504wh battery. I have a list of about 15 different times now. I set the timer to be finished by 0500, and work back from that. Calculation is pretty simple eg 50% = 50x225 = 11250 secs / 60 = 187.5 mins...
yeah, bugger it. You're right, that was a strange call putting a pissy little 9mm quick release axle on it. Emtb really are a different thing to mtb. I remembered this last night while I was thinking about tyres. I wouldn't consider a maxxis crossmark (rear) and continental mountain king (front)...
that finding really surprises me. It's a nice looking pattern but just looks like the tread is too shallow. It seems a bit like the minion ss - fast in the centre, reasonable side knobs for cornering. I see they conned it for loose conditions and braking, but not much. I would have thought good...
I have been using a 2.8 dhrII exo (lightest casing) on the rear. It is a freebie and I was curious about this size. It came with an 8mm cut in the centre - I've patched it inside; I also use tannus in the rear, so not a problem for me.
It is noticeably draggy (I use low assistance), but I'm...
yes, I think it rolls better too. I run dhf on the rear through the drier months. I've also found that it's a bit stiffer than the equivalent dhrII; I can run a pound less psi and it still feels stiffer than the dhrII. It could be that it's taller and not as wide? It feels better but not as good...
I did the same with an analogue xc hardtail bike. I kind of liked it; it was a lot more versatile with the bigger tyres even though they were on very skinny rims. Of course I should have bought a trail bike - didn't really know much at the time. It kind of looks like you guys may have bought the...
Yeah, Steve earns his money. I considered this before watching, seeing that it was a promo video for miranda.
Analogue bikes were predominantly 175 cranks, maybe 170. Enthusiastic dudes used to figure out what was best for them, as a starting point they used their height (or leg length). This...
The follow up red bull hard line video. The process they have for deciding order of runs is funny. Despite these bikes having huge travel, they are set up for the big hits. I imagine for most other stuff they must feel pretty hard. Impressive riding. In all the shenanigans I just noticed Rob...
I'm guessing that will be a more fit for purpose. Although I'm surprised that the minion ss is classed as a trail/enduro/dh tyre - I wouldn't have guessed that. And it comes in dd and 60tpi. I have a dhf dual compound that is 60tpi; it feels a step up in toughness / stiffness to the exo (120...
It's a pity that specialized support here didn't want to share the fix or post publicly. That's a bit proprietary of them, especially on a forum like this aimed at enthusiastic users who are here to share their knowledge and / or seek help.
Remember this from about 15 years ago? I think I'd prefer it. Consider all the problems we have with e bikes on land amplified with water. You can take these in small surf and surf them.
