Excellent info. I'm running a SRAM 10-42 on an 11 speed GRX 800 1x drivetrain with a 40T chain ring Climbing steep 15% hills is OK, but I spin out on the flats. With an MX9, I could bump up my chainvri g to 44T, and still climb the steeper hills. I might need a goat link, but they're cheap! Cheers

I got Cube Stereo Hybrid 120 SLT 2023, which came with these tyres: _Hans Dampf 29x2,6'' Supertrail/Speedgrip/Evo (Black)_ . Scwalbe gives it 6 stars for rolling (of 10) . Normally it comes with Smart Sam 29x2,6'' Performance Folding (Black) . Scwalbe gives it 4 stars for rolling (of 10) . Smart Sam looks better rolling, but suprisingly is not, according to the company. Wicked Will SuperRace/Speedgrip 29x2,4'' has 8 stars for rolling Seems strange, when comparing to Hurricane 29x2,25'', which has 4,5 stars at best. Do you have any info about this kind of rollings stuff? To me both seem a bit of overkill, I mostly wanted the suspension for comfort, maybe a bit of gravel rroads, (gravel) trails, *but mostly just asphalt* . Im bit afraid of the rolling properties of these kind of wheels. Ive had MTBs earlier, but without E-motor, and smaller wheel sizes.

But now I decided to get a new bike, it comes next week, and the tires are the Hans Dampf... :( They look like great tires for mud, but I like low rolling resistance, and I ride mostly in dry conditions, so I believe there is no need for the Hans Dampf. What do you guys think? Thanks

What compound are the HD on the new bike? Speedgrip actually rolls pretty well in dry dusty conditions, it's draggy on tarmac tho so not great if your route to the trails includes a bit of road riding. Can't you fit the Vittorias on the new bike, or is it different wheel size?

I have HD 29 super trail, soft on front and speed grip on rear; my father has mezcal so I know them both. Rolling is much better on mezcal so if you do hardpack and country roads, Vittoria is better. With my bike (HD) I do mostly trails (up and down) in dry condition, often in dirt condition (leafs, roots, pine cones, rocks...) and HD goes well with it, good grip and forgiving tyre.

I tried your hack with a M4 12mm screw that I paid 50 cent at a hardware store near home. I don't think that anyone is supposed to insert a screw more than 10mm in, because past that point you risk breaking the mechanism. The fact that the Shimano XT brake has a 10mm and the same exact structure (correct me if I'm wrong), is a pretty big tell imo. I think that the your hack should only be used for people that want to have MORE free stroke. I watched some other disassembly videos and I think my theory is correct. I can even see the stock screw pushing the piston, it seems all the way, with a plastic thing. I decided to revert back to the stock screw because I like the minimum free stroke and I don't want to risk breaking the lever while trying to reach the maximum point with a longer screw. On that note, do you know we can buy the replacement plastic part that is pushed by the screw, in the case it gets broken? The replacement is fairly easy.
@trickyrickymtb56222 жыл бұрын
I don't agree with your assessment of the screw 'increasing' the free stroke. I've done this on several sets and achieved a shorter stroke each time. You need to adjust the reach to its most open position before adjusting the throw. Also pulling the lever in a touch whilst adjusting the throw helps avoid damaging the mechanism. You are right in that the mechanism is fragile, so care is needed.
