how wide is wide the BB30 spindle?

FYI, an alternative to the 90deg tool is sticking a spoke in from the front, through the brake cable holder in the top of the lever. I was able to push the pin out that way.

Amazing video ❤

And that is what Kona did with the sutra: that hunk of steel is super long, 445cs, high reach, high trail. So that thing is slow and heavy but boy it is also put on tracks and eats holes for diner

6 grams for mps is not a real complaint

pls add dub wide

diseñado para off road no para carretera, uso el griffon off road para off road y me va super.

Can you put a bbbright crankset on a dub bb?

if only campa ekar was good tho... if you love having your chain fall off on rocky terrain, get ekar

So after reading your responses on this review you determined in the end the Bontrager gave you hot spots and you preferred the pro stealth? Is that the final verdict?

Aluminum spindle is sooner or later going to wear and be trash. Switching to shimano because of this

Thanks for the review. I just picked up a 55cm in Honeydew Bling. Not my first choice in color but the price was right. It looks amazing in person!

nice explaination !!!! love your content

Since the ends of the spindles are the same between dub and pf30, am I right in understanding that you could change a pf30 spindle to a dub one and it would fit both crank arms? In the video you show that the spindle ends are the same and use a dub non drive side crank arm with a pf30 drive side crank. I have an old pf30 crank set and hoped to put it on my DH bike. For that I need the right spindle length (researching that now) and the dub width.

I think it is better to drop the fork out (or at least turn it so that it points back into the frame) and remove the rear derailleur. The brifter lever being so close to the edge of the box is in a very vulnerable position and can be easily broken on an airline belt or in the plane as it is jostled around. The rotors can moreover be easily warped because they are right against the cardboard.

You are the man! You made this two years ago and industry has yet to catch up!

Excellent instructions. Thank you!

Which has the widest nose?

Love this clever comparison. Top10% clever man in the world.

Call me crazy but i bought a 2018 TCX and after like 4000kms, it almost replaced everything i have. It' my new favourite all-around. Of course this always depends ond the expectatives of the user, in my case i do everything but nothing competitive and that's where this bike shines for me. I barely ride my mtb now and i sold my road bike (which was kinda planned when i bought the TCX). Very good video! very insightful :)

Great video.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think I'm going this route. No room for more bikes.

Hey are those 37mm fenders?

Do you notice people approaching you from the rear or do you have to intentionally look? I imagine it'd be easier to see vehicles as opposed to other cyclists?

I hot wax with common parrafin wax with a 1:10 ratio of 1.6micron PTFE powder + a liquid form used for topups inbetween hot waxing. The cost is minimal compared to the typically over-priced mass-produced products on offer. I spend about 2 hours on hot waxing my chain, doing other things to the bike in the meantime. Making my own hot wax and permanent liquid version takes about an hour total. A pot of hot wax, as long as the chain is thoroughtly cleaned before hand, will last 6 months or more. XC riding, I hot wax around every 200kms, more if I liquid wax topup every ride. Will never buy over-priced products again, especially since the home brew I make is the same as some company's offering, but without the flashy packaging, enticing name, and marked up profit costs. I think such product are for people who think spending this small amount of time and effort on DIY is too much of a commitment, so they gravitate towards others who do the work for them, but chage an arm a and a leg for their service\product...even though the product can be created by anyone.

I am sceptical about MIPS in this "first" (inside liner) version. I agree, for me, it also looks that you have to wear your helmet unrealisticaly tight for it to really work and make a difference. I tried on MIPS and non-MIPS helmets, and that's what I noticed. Otherwise both helmets slide on your hair similarily, but MIPS makes a helmet less comfortable and blocks some ventilation. I'd prefer this GIRO version, where the outer shell moves, Lazer Kineticore solution, or Bontrager Wavecel, those have more sense to me.

No sanding, no prep, interesting

where can I get one?

The one reason why I wouldn't buy any SRAM crankset (or any of the many Chinese knockoffs) is that I don't want to be forced to spend hundreds of dollars on a big-ass torque wrench for the spindle bolt.

Thank you, great tip’

Hello, is sram crankset dub able to apply for Shimano lip 8 speeds?

thanks for review

As far as i know, now they have new titanium axle with better deep spline teeth.

Trek x caliber 7 xl frame 29" ..what tyres dobyou reccomend to makecthis more of a hybrid ?

Hi, I know this is a bit of an old but I'm looking to have a go at this and have a question. The potential purchase is a rival 1x hrd and secondly a new LH lever blade kit which judging by the kit picture it doesn't have any parts that a shift cable will slide into. My question is, does the standard 1x lever have the drum in it already that a shift cable can slide into? Or will I need that piece?

Princess pedal stroke. Drop that heel

You're lying. This bike - even with the 1500g wheels - is sluggish as hell. Hard to accelerate and hard to ascent. It is a good bike, but if you want to ride race bicycle - don't buy it.

Thank you!

For me the difference of the brighter light could be the difference of a driver seeing you better which could be a life saver. When it comes to safety you can not put a dollar value.

Good advise

Old thread, but interesting, I think that the newer HG compatible SRAM Apex AXS 12 speed 11-44 is probably preferable to the previous 10-44 on the XDR freehub. It starts with 11-12-13, so nice small jumps where you need them, as pushing a larger gear is hard. You can then match this up to a 44 tooth chainring, 44 x 11 gives you exactly the same 111.4 gear inch top gear as a 40 x 10 setup, and a 1:1 lowest gear of 44 x 44. If you need lower, you need Eagle anyway probably. And it will be more efficient as well (bigger chainrings and cassette sprockets are more efficient than smaller ones). I do think on both 10-44 and 11-44 they missed a trick at the lower end, going 28-32-38-44, the gear inch changes don't increase as they should by having 4,6,6 tooth gaps, giving 5.0, 5.5 and 4.0 fewer gear inches. 28-32-37-44 would be much more logical and 4,5,7 tooth gaps giving 5.0, 4.7 and 4.8 fewer gear inches.

Gonna get this to save my taint lol. Nothing worse then a long ride is your ass going numb and your taint feeling like a horse kicked you there lol 😂😩

How would you rate the stiffness of the bike after the upgrades, maybe to TCR?

What was supposed to be able to unscrew that mount?

you forgot the biggest negative....it's an aluminum frame!

Nice

Can we use Sram crank arm with shimano chainring?

The BB looks close to the floor

and... we're still waiting for the long term review.
