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?
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 ?
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...
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...
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
I have the same question for my action team 2020 (size 18).
I have to replace the Shimano SLX CN-M7100 chain but they sell it in 116, 126 and 138 links.
which one fit better ? Of course the 138 links costs more.
Thanks
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..
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 ?
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...
I have tested lots of emtb those last months but honestly, as a beginner, I cannot really notify any major difference between them ?
So currently I hesitate between 2 bikes:
STEREO HYBRID 160 HPC ACTIONTEAM 625 27.5
Mainly because the dealer is very close to me and he gave me the opportunity...
Thanks Garry ! But I would avoid to travel for just 4h of course! ?
Meanwhile I have a little changed my plan. In March I’ll go to South America to learn kitesurf ! Then when I’ll go back, probably in April, there will be more training offers into the Alps.
I'm not looking for private lessons. I'm afraid that I couldn’t afford it. And the current whether in Switzerland is not better than UK. So I really would like to travel to a summer / warm country to take holiday while improving my ride skills.
I'm looking for public course mixing training and...
I forgot to mention that I haven’t geographical limits.
Could be in South Africa, Canary Island, US, etc
I already have seen all destination into the travel forum but they are not really training camp
