    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    The assegai tires with Maxxgrip are available only in 2.5. So they are better then 2.6 with Maxxterra compound for max traction and confidence ? I'm a bit lost about tires sizes. What are the real pro and cons having bigger or smaller tires in front or rear?

    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    2.6 on both wheels. But they sell now the model 2021 with 2.4 on both wheels. Same frame. I’m 75kg. So maybe would be better to have also the EXO+ for the rear tire ?

    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    Thanks Wizard. Yes I hesitated with the DHR2 for the rear but it seams that the dissector are better for fast rolling so I thought that would be a good balance with the Assegai on the front. But maybe too slippery on the wet? And what do you thing about the size? I means to have 2.6 on the...

    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    I currently have Magic Marry on the front and Hans Dampf on the rear. Both in 27.5 / 2.6 and it’a time to change them. Í’m looking for something that give me more grip on the front and more confidence on the corners while still allowing to drift and skid easily. So after some research I‘m ready...

    How many chain links?

    I have counted the chains. There are 58 outer links + the quick link. So 58 x 2 = 116 + the quick link. Shimano sell exactly this length. So if I buy it I could put the chain as is. Sounds good ? ? Thanks

    Tire pump

    Co2 looks great for riding but it could be useful to deflate your tires just for a down hill and then inflate again, no ? You will spend a lot of Co2 in this case..

    Tire pump

    And what about air compressor ? It's almost the same price as a good floor pump with tubeless chamber. And why everybody seems prefer stand-alone digital gauge instead one included into the pump ? Is it not more comfy to fine tune pressure while inflating tires ?

    Tire pump

    I have to buy some equipments to inflate my tires at home and on trails. My first choice was the Lezyne Micro Floor Drive Digital HVG. As it is pretty versatile I would use it at home and on trail with its digital gauge. But by reading some reviews it seems that the gauge is not so accurate...
