Noticed over last few rides the excess cable that comes out of the derailleur has been shedding!! now theres nothing left, this is on Sram GX eagle, whats going on???? never had this happen on any bike. Meant to be off to the peak district tomoz, should i risk it or get a new cable, not done one...
I have just changed them and only had 1 short ride, gone to DHR/DHF exo+ 2.4, couldn't find a DD for the rear. Lot more grip instantly. Your right the stock carcass are very soft and could contribute to the twangy feel i was experiencing. Just need to let a bit of air out of the Maxxis as i run...
After running on the HX1500's for the last 2 years these Bontrager just feel a bit squirmy, i have to keep checking the rear end for a flat. Tried various pressures but still the same. I just prefer the more direct feel of my previous wheels or is that just going from 27.5 to 29???
I have the H1500x on my other emtb but in 27.5 which is a shame a i would of swapped them over instantly, like you 2 full uk winter riding and still roll lightning fast and as true as the day i got the bike.
Looking for your expert knowledge in choosing a wheelset. They will be to replace what comes on my Rail 9, love the bike not so much the wheels. Red runs are about my limit and small jumps but mainly XC trail based stuff, bike + kitted rider is about the 125KG mark, 29 front and rear with Sram...
Anyone else's rail make a horrible sound when braking(front) it's like a vibration/squeeling that is amplified through the wheels if that makes sense??? not sure if its the brakes as i've never owned SRAM, just Shimano & Hope. It honestly sounds as if the wheels are going to flaten, like spokes...
i'm 100kg kitted, trek suggests 265 psi, i'm at 310 psi for 30% sag. I never use all travel on drops (2ft ish??) probs about 15mm left of stroke, shock is 230x57.5. is there a bottomless token fitted stock?? should i remove it??
think i better join you on your rideout Steve and learn some more about the area. Been out with a work colleague tonight parked near to the pines but went to clumber and sherwood parks, taking it steady as he has just had a knee op, was good to see new places.
i got some creaking today on my 9, appears to be headset area i think?? getting a fair few twanging noises also around wheels area. I'm used to DT swiss hx1501's, they feel solid in comparison to these stock wheels.
after a quick thrash on the red this evening i thought i'd try the blue, its ok to be fair, i enjoyed it. Helps that the bikepark/downhill section is halfway round so had a few runs on that. Very busy in places, forgot it was half term.
The motor is brilliant, i like the way power is delivered. Defo prefer the Bosch over Shimano. Never had a go with a brose motor, i was tempted but reliability was an issue for me. Overall very happy with my purchase, i would of loved to of tried an Orbea rise but i do think i would of missed...
