No problems with shimano steel cassettes on ebike, worn two out but never bent any teeth...Sram gear renowned for being like butter, I stopped using their stuff on all my bikes years ago.
Horses for courses indeed, must choose to differ though, tried all brands of ebikes and accompanying motors and the Brose is good, over the last few years but the LEVO I found was still a clumsy bike when taking bigger hits and drops, Kenevo was pretty good but really a downhill specialist and I...
Disagree, delivers the power best of all the motors, its not just about torque but how that powers is delivered, only quip is it is a bit noisier. Shimano E8000 motor is best in its class.
If they have been contaminated, which can easily happen, could be from on roads, accidental spray from WD40 or any other oil product on pads or rotor the brakes will squeal and lose power. The brake pads could have become glazed and still not bedded in properly which can take some time, sintered...
Acoustic bike !!!! analogue is a wave form, an ebike being the comparison bike is not a digital bike its electrically power assisted bike, rant over..., ebikes are terrific and there is a certain unjust envy or angst amongst the acoustic community for all sorts of ego reasons Personally I f'kn...
Go for it, I ride full on downhill and enduro, big hits, big drops/gaps and the ARD has been faultless. Most good riders will only use in the rear, don't think I've ever trashed a front rim...countless expensive rears.?
Yes inserts work well, been running the Nukeproof ARD on the rear...Currenty Eddy Tyres on Vitus esommet. They have saved numerous dings on big hits and drops and I have trashed several good rims when not using them. I only use on the rear as there is not many occasions when you'd ding the front...
Been using the Nukeproof ARD on my Vitus esommet which has current Eddy Tyres on it, ARD insert in rear only as very rarely do you ding the front. Must say the Nukeproof ARD has been great on hard rocky trails which I know I can ding rims easily on... and contrary to opinion getting them out is...
Been riding riding downhill and enduro for more than 40 years and I'm 14+ stone...unless your are 20+ stone the 220 on the rear is way too big, either that or the brakes are not bedded in or working probably but gotta respect your choice, I think it world be a skid fest though.?
Yes it will be. 220 on the rear is overkill though I'd say. I have 220 on the front and 203 on the rear, Shimano Saints. Plenty of stopping for the steepest and fastest trails.
Hello to all and thanks for all the input I got on this. To remind you all, I lost the bolt from the left side and have since replaced with M8 X 14mm stainless steel bolt and a washer made from soft plastic, works perfectly. I have attached a pic...also, just to let you all know, I have...
