Rockrider E-st 900 changes upgrades

[chapelblade]

Hi, I also have an EST900, great bike and strong enough for my 120kg weight. I have the 38t and the suntour xc seatpost and have added front and rear mudguards. I am thinking of changing the tyres. I mainly ride on tarmac or gravel and find the tyre noise annoying. I am thinking of changing to Swalbe Moto X tyres say 2.4. Has anyone had experience of these?

Well, I've had my 900 for just over 5 years now and it's still going strong. Think I've had my money's worth out of it. Another good ride out this morning

Fitted new pads front and rear last week. Considered bleeding the brakes as well, but the levers are feeling really firm now and no sponginess.
Also fitted a slime inner tube to the front about a month ago, as tubeless maxis tyre was not holding pressure.

All in all it's been a good bike and fingers crossed it keeps on going

A couple of years and over 5000k on the rough and still as good as gold.
Had I known how much use I would get, I would have invested in something more upmarket.
However, apart from the rather gawky geometry it sports great components an a good motor.
Much better in fact, than the newer models in the range.
Deffo keepin it !
