It looks shit but does a fantastic jobMust make a big difference that cover ,that's where most of the crap goes.
Got it off a mate that accidentally ordered two from somewhere!

The best kind of mates. Not half as ugly as most of the rear mudguards out thereIt looks shit but does a fantastic job

if you have shortened the chain you possibly need to readjust the B tension. Surprised you opted for DH casing for the front wheel. I use DD on the back wheel and EXO+ on the front.......seems a reliable compromise between weight and protection. I use Assegai front and DHR11 back but that bike mainly only does forest riding so no rocks...just roots!.Busy couple of hours:
# Chain still skipping in the middle of the cassette. Is the chain worn?
# Shifter cable tension adjusted, shifting fine now.
# Cassette checked, slight burrs in middle range, OK elsewhere.
# Chain was rubbing on the cable wire on the mech, looked a bit long. Removed two links took it back to 116 links. No longer rubbing on cable.
# Removed chain and measured over 100 links, still 0.125%. at 1022 miles.
# New front tyre fitted Maxxis Assegai 29x2.5” 3C Maxx Grip TR DH Casing. After 3280 miles the old one (same) was ready for the bin.
# Rear rim is wobbling side to side 3-4mm. Front is true. I'll let the bike shop do that when I replace the rear wheel (arriving in a couple of days).
Psst ... now have High Roller 3 front and rear for winter, can't fault them. Exemplary grip in all conditions including mud, and faster rolling than expected too.I would not use an Assegai for cross country type rides a round here in the winter...it just clogs with mud and becomes a slick!! DHF is better for mud clearance and in the winter for the bike that does all of the cross country riding I change the rear Dissector to a Shorty or Hillbilly.
yep I saw that tyre as an option but had already bought both a Shortie and Hillbilly ( cos that one was cheap as chips!) during the summer...advanced planning! Could be an option for next year.......not for the front though.Psst ... now have High Roller 3 front and rear for winter, can't fault them.

Especially for the front! Probably going to leave front on all year and then use part worn Assegai and DHR2 as rears in drier conditions.yep I saw that tyre as an option but had already bought both a Shortie and Hillbilly ( cos that one was cheap as chips!) during the summer...advanced planning!

Just got myself a pair of these to replace the Assegais for the northern winter slop riding!Psst ... now have High Roller 3 front and rear for winter, can't fault them. Exemplary grip in all conditions including mud, and faster rolling than expected too.
After my bike came back from the LBS for a new inner and outer gear cable, I bumped over a step and the battery fell out! They had told me that they had to remove the battery to replace the cable and still had to use cable connectors to draw the new cable through with the old one. I guess that they didn't quite lock the battery in properly. I did it, properly I thought, but before I refastened the cover, I bounced the bike on the lawn and it fell out again! Hmm, what's going on?I added a velcro strap to my downtube.
While I have never had any issues with the battery or cover coming off, I have read anough now that my rides were becoming less enjoyable every time I ended up in some janky fast-paced trails.
I had a spare strap in the house, so added that for peace of mind. It bothers me from an aesthetic perspective, but at least now I can barrel down a lumpy, bumpy and jumpy trail without any worries of the battery or cover falling out.
Do you still need winter car tyres by law in Norway ? . I did a job in Halden and the Engineer had to get tyres changed as it was the beginning of December. When the harbour started to freeze over I said time to go home .Put on my studded tires. Its getting close to winter, we have had some days with icy roads already.
The tires are the same as I used last winter; Schwalbe Ice Spiker Pro, 2.25 wide. I rode approx 500km on them last winter, they still seem OK to me.
Well, its a matter of interpretation of the law, I think. We need to have suitable tyres for the road conditions. If you are cought (perhaps after running off the road) with summer tyres during winter conditions, it's an offence.Do you still need winter car tyres by law in Norway ? .

Yes I remember Rholf had his spare wheels in the boot he didn't live in Halden. I did a hill a couple years ago in winter conditions. I had to use sides of track due to all the ice. Adrian lives near the hill so has studded tyres on Ebike all winter . Very impressive to see the grip he got..Well, its a matter of interpretation of the law, I think.

So everybody in their right mind have two sets of tyres for their cars. Studded tyres, however, are not needed. There are a lot of high quality studless winter tyres these days. I haven't used studded tyres (on vehicles with more than two wheels) for at least two decades. Two-wheelers (electric and petrol-driven) is an entierly different matter. There, studded tyres is the way to go.
Yep. In many cases, you get better grip on ice than during summer on the same trails, as where it is muddy during summer, its hard ice during winter.Adrian lives near the hill so has studded tyres on Ebike all winter . Very impressive to see the grip he got..
I'll bet he has a rear mudguard!Yes I remember Rholf had his spare wheels in the boot he didn't live in Halden. I did a hill a couple years ago in winter conditions.

Yes I wouldn't like to over stretch with a studded tires .I'll bet he has a rear mudguard!
I tried that once. Or rather, I got my thigh between the rear mudguard and the studded tire in a crash on my (petrol) enduro bike. Not to be reccomended. Could't ride for weeks. But luckily, the studs didn't dig deep into the flesh. According to the doctor, the damage was quite similar to being dragged along a paved road. Attached is a picture of the wool trousers I used at the time.Yes I wouldn't like to over stretch with a studded tires .

I am a massive fan of Renthal Fatbars.This week was Fatbar Lites.
More than twice the rise, half the weight of the stock bars (not I care much on a Rail ) and £75
First test ride out this morning, much better on the posture
