'spensive wheels! I like 'em. My potential woes continue, noticed a few sprocket bolts were loose, hopefully I caught then before the hub is rooted.
Haha Silicone ebay specials mate They fit perfectly couldn't tell you the brand though. Was it only a few loose ones Caiman? If the others were tight you should be good bud. Loctite? I Loctitededed the bejesus out of all my wheel n brake related bolts
Blue loctite and the lock nuts, only a few were loose, going to take it for a test ride after work and see if they loosen again after liberal application of loctite yesterday.
I have a feeling they are DRC hoses. Shit Blue locitite never comes undone! Get two spanners on them nuts! Worse part is the stupid Allen heads are dodge. Use Allen Key sockets aswell. Cant get good torque with keys.
Great way to spend a monday... at the track! Suspension was near perfect, beringer stoppers outstanding, went from constantly wondering what the front end was doing to not even thinking about the bike and just having fun. Ohlins front end was probably the best money I've spent on this bike.
Gimoto suit. Nice! Custom ordered? Good to see you're stoked with the new suspension n brakes! how good is it over stock!?
I'm 6'5" and weigh 90kg, so custom all the way, have a Gimoto Jacket for street duties as well. Night and day between The stock marzocchi's (even revalved) and the Ohlins, it's a whole new and 10000x better bike for it.
What sort of milage are you getting from the Maxxis? Are you running the standard rear wheels 4.25"? Im running a rear Michelen Pilot power and its been excellent for nearly a year (Prob about 2000 miles) but its squaring off and scratched to shit as its used off road too. They have stopped making them now so will have to get something else.
I raced a whole season on mine, most of the wear was on the chicken strips, middle was like new when I took them off and sold them. Really good tyres.
