    Has Maxxis Minion durability gone down the pan?????

    Made a mistake and corrected above, I run the 2.4 at 35psi. The inserts fill about 50% of the tyre with closed cell foam. Not quite the same a tokens in a shock but along the same lines.

    I run the 2.4 at 30psi. You are forgetting the ramp up too. Edit: sorry that should be 35psi

    Has Maxxis Minion durability gone down the pan?????

    Quite possibly, however it is a constant in the original scenario.

    YT Decoy thread part 2

    It was in one of the 3 Singletrack Magazine YouTube videos on the release of the new Focus Jam2/Thron with 2020 Bosch motor. Probably a month or so ago. Edit: I was really interested in the Jam2 with the delays on the Decoy & battery warranty concerns but the reports on the engagement and lack...

    Has Maxxis Minion durability gone down the pan?????

    The 2.8" DHF/DHR dual compound ones did over 1500 miles on the Jam2 without issue. I was a complete convert and would piss buddies off raving about them. That's why I'm surprised how quickly I've trashed two new ones of similar spec on similar trails and wondered if others had a experienced the...

    YT Decoy thread part 2

    Not all motors are the same, your all good on E8000 though. New Bosch is supposed to have quite a bit of play.

    YT Decoy thread part 2

    From my initial notification, the box with manuals etc arrived in three days and the bike the day after on a Saturday. That’s to the UK.

    Has Maxxis Minion durability gone down the pan?????

    Why fine all this time at those pressures only to have puncture on two new tyres in short succession? Riding locations & style hasn’t changed. Maybe just coincidence & bad luck ?‍♂️

    eMTB for a fattie

    Maybe they have resolved things. I saw a new, heavy duty gate had been erected across the access road by the main road when I passed a few days back.

    Ebike Optimized Forks Or Not

    Not sure if it was a oversight, the lowers are Fox 36 not a 34. Its the internals which are from the 34 (damper/air shaft) due to the stanchion walls being thicker (smaller ID).

    That Ayton? Thought the NT had gated it and were flattening it.... Nice bike by the way.

    Has Maxxis Minion durability gone down the pan?????

    I swapped to 2.8" Maxxis Minion tyres when I bought my e-bike a couple of years back as Schwalbe were not making what I wanted in the sizes required at the time. Being impressed with the grip & wear characteristics across a broad range of surfaces I put them on my regular bike too in 2.5/2.4"...

    You can have a bit of a Brucy bonus as there is an event on Thursday evening “Hit the Park” with a group ride & Fox handing out some beer ?

    Today's lessons & knee/shin pad advice wanted

    It’s ok, I’m expecting a windfall from selling all the companies who produce the protection I use the 360 video of their gear saving me from near death when I ate dirt the other day ?? I mean, a new Bell helmet has deffo got to be in the bag.

    Today's lessons & knee/shin pad advice wanted

    Used to run combined knee/shin pads from POC, they didn't stay in place very well. I do still use them on serious days as they are hard shell. Currently run Endura MT500 pads that run a little further down than just the knee and really like them. If you want to try something with some added...
