All my Sapim spokes were within spec length for the new SideKick, just new nipples and rim tape were added. The SideKick is all laced up and ready for action! I have it set at 18deg deadband for the first ride.
It had been many weeks since my last ride on my emtb, so I just installed a new chain and cassette (1100miles old) and went for a 2-1/2hr ride Friday(w/out SideKick) to have the Bosch rattle fresh in my mind. I felt having a new chain and cassette for a quiet drivetrain would be best for the Sidekick comparison. I’ll be getting the Sidekick all muddy soon and report back with my findings.
