I could have been tempted to buy a Karve Evo/Mondy Zendit/Dreadnaught E/Orbea Wild but there is absolutely zero chance now. If I had an order I'd be looking to cancel. Bikes have 3 bugbears for me: drivetrain maintenance, pivot bearings, suspension service and this addresses the biggest of...

I think this has made my front tyre choice for bike park season pretty easy. I finally tested the Magic Mary Radial Gravity Ultra Soft against the Assegai DoubleDown MaxxGrip. The Mary was much smoother in the rough, had huge braking confidence, and came out 2.86 seconds quicker in my 15-run...

Well done DJI for this innovation: 2 years after their first motor. Shimano, Bosch, Sram deserve the consequences of their lack of innovation over the last 10+ years. Going to be so awesome to pedal out of the corner and be in the right "ratio" with no chain skipping.

This thread just became pointless :LOL:

I'm running Zee/Saint M771 "freeride" 11-36T 10 speed cassette. Light, it used to be cheap, it has a small mech cage and has all the range I need. I run it with an XX1 11 speed chain, because narrower outer chain dimension results in less plate load differential during a shift and better...

This is a solid concept, but I suspect the £380 for a cassette explains why it never went mainstream

I would totally get this for my eBike with a tiny bit more range. One has to wonder whether Avinox is powerful enough to use this as is 🤔

Just before I risk it, is there a second opinion, has anyone else upgraded a US motor in the UK to 120Nm and can confirm that the US speed limit remains?

NGL, I do love the Vigilante 29x2.6 Tough/High Grip. The volume means you can run slightly lower pressure without rim strikes. That said wait until next Tues video release before rushing out and buying one 😉

Yeah, maybe just not soft or loose enough where I tested it. It was far from a glorious day starting 6C with a little snow at the side, but still fairly firm underneath. I imagine an Assegai rear would fill with mud during winter, but do you think the HR3 rear is noticeably better than DHR2 rear...

Sure, here's the TLDR: This video presents a detailed performance comparison between the Maxxis High Roller 3 and the Maxxis Assegai as front mountain bike tires (0:18). Using 15 timed runs at BikePark Wales split into eight specific sectors, the creator, RoJo DH, evaluates how each tire...

Penultimate test in this series. Very surprising difference between the High Roller 3 and the Assegai even when run with the same MaxxGrip compound and similar DD casing! Let me know your thoughts? Raw data:

They are surprisingly good. Metal strap broke on my bottle, but I had been using it on relentless Alps bike park laps.

Yeah, fair point. Usual caveats apply: one rider, one track, one set of conditions. That said, my riding level is probably closer to most riders looking for a tyre upgrade than it is to a World Cup DH racer, so I still think the test is relevant. I didn’t feel anything in the test that made me...

Hey all, I'm back with another nerd out, after much too long doing vibe coding... They say AI makes you more productive, for me it's a massive time suck :LOL: Could have made a dozen of these videos in the time I have been faffing with analysis. Still I hope it improves the quality. Enjoy and...

Love the app Rob, comes up with suggestions I might not have thought of. Can you get it to train on your brain because what we really want is your opinion: Zendit, Karve Evo or Dreadnaught E 😁

Only with a) fast swappable batteries b) gearbox Otherwise you drain your battery too fast and do more drivetrain maintenance, worsening your overall MTB experience

+1 for the Trek Rail. Sure it's not the most fashionable brand in the world, but they get so much right. Quick swap battery, amazing handling and balance. I have Ohlins coil, 180mm front and slacker head angle fitted and it's an absolute blast, fun and predictable. Most under rated bike out...

Has anyone done this yet, updated a US motor with latest 100Nm or 120Nm firmware in the EU? Does it retain US speed limit?

Don't forget rolling resistance... if you can sacrifice grip or casing thickness it will get you noticeably further
