I'm intrigued by these tires graphene content. Supposed to help them last longer. I had Continental Race King Protection tires with the Black Chili compound and they just wouldn't wear out on my two hardtails. Excellent grip too. Expensive tires, with the right compound, are actually better value than cheaper normal tires.
@MTB4THКүн бұрын
@@Velocus-p3z The Vittoria tires do last a bit longer than other brands I've ridden, that's not just marketing. I've definitely noticed they roll a bit better too. One point you make is a really good one, that isn't always easy to get across. Paying a little extra for a tire with a good rubber compound pays dividends in grip and wear resistance. It might cost a bit more, but you'll enjoy your ride more, and ride longer! I think 🤔 Continental uses silica in the Black Chili compound. Vittoria added silica to their Enduro Race compound and it wears remarkably slow for how soft the rubber is.

I bought an Aliexpress bottom bracket tool, a 16 notch 'socket type' one, and because I was a new customer it cost €1 !!! And my god its astonishingly well made from anodised cnc milled aluminium, and works utterly beautifully...I can't imaging Park Tool's €50 one being any better. Im a home mechanic, not a shop, so longevity isn't an issue for me, but I was astounded by the quality of the nicely finished tool...Heppe brand, and I got it two months ago. Cheers!

Great video. Wish I came across it sooner as I already bought my 160mm Golidx. Luckily did not get the full bundle, cranks only.... but I did separately buy a bottom bracket in Meroca brand bc my bike is Raceface 30mm BB92 pressfit and Goldix is 24mm. Haven't installed yet as waiting for my riser handlebars to arrive. The cranks were slightly more at $39USD vs yours were $30USD converted. Not sure why. Just for reference, what height and inseam are you? Converted, I am 178cm tall, 75cm inseam and 102Kg.
@MTB4TH14 күн бұрын
The prices fluctuate a little on AliExpress. That could be the reason I payed less. Could also be taxes and import duties. Every country has different rates. I'm 165cm tall and have a 80cm inseam.

I thought that was just me ha ha I migrated from road/track to mtb recently. Clipped in was too much for me on downhill runs. Flat just felt wrong. Ended up with a set of very concave pedals, both front-rear and L-R concave. It's actually hard to get my foot off sometimes. Shimano does a set with SPD one side, flat the other. I've considered drilling them for pins on the flat side, but there hasn't been a rainy enough day. This infuriates trackies by the way - they can see the logic behind it, but "you're not using the lightest pedal available?? And you're riding your track bike TO the track??" I swear wearing lycra leads to brain damage. One of these days I'll let them know I'm also running tubeless and take a gravel track to get there.
@MTB4TH2 ай бұрын
No, not just you. That uneasy feeling when pointed downhill clipped in is just human. It goes away with time and experience though. Just keep shredding and it'll get better. No need to drill the Shimano combi pedals. There are a lot of companies that offer combination/hybrid pedals with SPD. Some companies even do SPD better than Shimano.

This is by no means just a Germany thing, I rather think it's a mountain-country vs flat-country thing. Or even mountain-region vs. flat-region. Some blue trails in western Norway might be classified as black if they were located in eastern Sweden. Is this good? No - but kind of inevitable, else some regions would have only green and blue trails or other regions would have only black trails! Every MTB rider must know that they need to adjust their expectation to the local difficulty baseline.

Watching this video makes me want to rebuild my primal frame in the garage loft, but that's an aside. I splashed out £35 for the BB, 155mm goldix and 28T round cassette to fit on my wife's nukeproof mega build - It's a 290, but she preferred a mullet, and hence, we ran into ground clearance issues with the 175mm shimano cranks that we ported over onto the new frame. Paired with a 28T oval, she's now able to spin up technical rooty climbs without bottoming out the crank or catching it on roots. The plus side is that she doesn't feel as fatigued on climbs, despite losing the leverage, with her only being 5'9 and 29" inside leg, purely because she can spin up. I quite enjoyed using it (same height) for a local trail loop too and will be contemplating buying a set of 160mm cranks without the BB or chain ring, if I can source a locally made 28T oval for my nukeproof giga. Build quality I would say is on par with Shimano's deore. Fininishing and machining on the goldix is as good as any other far-eastern produced bike component and having the chromoly axle for strength will also mean we shouldn't run into fatigue/endurance issues if the spindle was aluminium, like on some other ali express parts (the 5DEV conterfeits, for example). Wife is 105kg kitted out, so we'll see how it holds out. The only bummer is that because it's an M18 preload cap, my wife's oil slick end cap from her SLX cranks couldn't go on. Sad times. As for the supplied chainring, I noticed it came in a snail branded package. I've used snail floating rotors on 2 of my bikes and they do the job reasonably well, so I don't have any reason to doubt its performance. Great purchase though for the price before you invest in pricier short cranks (unite components in the UK are £200 before you pair it up with a chain ring).
@MTB4TH3 ай бұрын
I originally bought these cranks just to test shorter cranks and see if short cranks were as great as everyone was raving about. The plan was to scrap them or give them away after testing, but the way they're performing... I'm going to keep them a while longer. I also run a 28 tooth oval with the shorter cranks. With a little higher cadence I don't notice any power loss on ordinary climbs. Only when it gets really steep and technical do I miss the extra little bit of torque. Not a big deal though as I usually try to avoid those climbs because of my weak heart. Spinning is much easier for me. 😁 The chainring I got with mine was in a clear plastic bag in the box, with no branding at all. As I said in the video though, I only run ovals and haven't tested it. If you decide to get the 160 millimeter cranks for yourself, let me know how both crank sets perform over time. I'll be hitting some bigger drops and features with mine and plan on putting out a follow up review in January.

@MTB4TH Жыл бұрын
Hi Scott. I can't say I have any more of a problem with altitude than before the heart attack. I am more cautious at altitude though and pay more attention to what my body "says." I have noticed it takes a little longer to acclimate to the altitude. I've found eating more frequently and more fluid intake to help a lot. Sorry I haven't posted any more videos yet. Scripts are written but I haven't had the time and energy to record and edit yet. Dealing with a few non-heart related issues. Hoping to get a video of my initial training plan up soon. Hope I was able to help. If you have any more questions you can comment here or hit me up on Instagram (@bigalilaus). Respectfully, Dave
