For cable housing: make sure to use a "dry" lubricant vs a wet lube like triflow. With a dry lube, the liquid "carrier" will evaporate off leaving only the lubricant behind. With a wet lube, that evaporation doesn't happen which can attract dust and actually increase friction over time. In several shops we used Bike Aid "Dri-Slide", which is an more expensive molybdenum based lube, but is designed for exactly that use case.

@@EvansMTBSaga Absolutely! Dry chain lubes in general might be something you want to check out. They'll serve you much better than Triflo when trails are dusty.

I had a set of DT Swiss XM481 rims laced to 350 hubs with 54 POE for a semi-budget option at $1000. IMBY bikes in Whistler built them up and they are bulletproof all around. They handled three straight days of bike park riding and 10K feet of descending with no issues. Nowadays the spread between group sets is really small. Shimano Deore to XT is mainly just weight. However the shifter is where you want to spend the money. I run an XT shifter paired to the SLX that came on the bike. If I neeed to replace the r/d in the future I’ll save some money and go Deore.

Carbon wheels are absolutely worth the money! I’m still running my cheap light bicycle carbon front wheel on my hardtail… that wheel has been to hell and back since 2016 without a single issue. And there’s no way I’m giving up my Enve M70s on my big squishy bike. My rear carbon wheel on my hard tail started busting spokes almost every ride so I retired it and went with a DT 511 aluminum. But that might’ve had something to do with me running it for a full day of park runs after four broken spokes from a crash. Since that’s just my basic bike, I didn’t really wanna spend carbon money on the replacement, especially because I wasn’t sure what configuration I wanted. I will be getting a set of super light carbon wheels when I go to a shorter travel fork on that bike. I know a lot of people say carbon will fail catastrophically but even on a very light set of EC Trail 70s that 230 pound buddy slammed into a curb and cracked, The bead never broke and the tire held air. He road it for three months like that before selling the bike. Beyond the initial impact damage, the rim still held up to everything he threw at it..

Great episode Evan! I usually find my money better spent on good hubs. I'm 208lbs and 6'1" and ride Hudson Valley NY rocky techy trails, which means I've destroyed my fair share of rear hubs, some very good brands. Now I build my own wheels with DT Swiss hubs, pawl systems are not a good fit for me but I haven't blown a DT Swiss hub since using them for 6 years. Carbon or alloy wheels isn't as important as what that wheelset is running as a rear hub.👍

I’m torn between carbon and aluminum myself 😅 pros and cons to both. My carbon rims have been bombproof and I like the weight and stiffness, but they are expensive! While alloy is less expensive… they can be noticeably heavier, and I’ve damaged so many alloy rims even with inserts and high tire pressure. Industry Nine Enduro rims have not been that great for me.

This confirms why blinging out your rig with expensive parts totally isn’t worth it. Sure, maybe some better suspension, but otherwise if you have a mid or low range bike, just ride it and wear out the parts that are already on it. Expensive parts are more expensive to repair and replace. I have the crank brothers synthesis carbon wheelset that came on my Capra uncaged 6 with flight attendant and one of those crappy sapim aero bladed spokes broke right at the hub. Super lame. Luckily the DT Swiss aero comp spokes have the same design and can be substituted for Sapim and worldwide had the spokes in stock. Yeah, I could have used a regular spoke but I’m trying to preserve the wheelset design as much as possible until it just doesn’t matter anymore. If it had been a round and not bladed spoke, it would have been a cinch to replace.

good video but i thought the bikes were meant to be the same with the shock
@EvansMTBSaga Күн бұрын
Good catch. The Suntour shock I had on was contacting the frame and causing rattling. So I quietly swapped the stock Rockshox shock on there

For me enduro riding is not about going as fast i can downhill, but also important are fun and comfort. Nice series but I’m wondering is it even important for me to watch. The cost per second is hilarious. You compare the cost, when the difference are something like 0.1 seconds between high and low bike. Weird

$3000 wheels on a bike… I only spent $3k for the wheels on my dually 😂
@EvansMTBSaga Күн бұрын
It was $1699 for wheels

@@EvansMTBSaga I guess I should have watched the video. Still, in the grand scheme of things, MTBs and parts have gotten out of control. If it was a full Berd setup, it would probably be $3k for wheels alone.

If we ask your wife who she likes more between the low bike rider or the high bike rider, what would she say? Depending on her answer would you consider adopting that personality in real life?

Try a gripshift for a mechanical group. It is way faster then AXS if that matters that much

Grip shift is cool!

Shimano XT double upshifts are also better

Those Crankbrothers wheels are the same ones off the YT. I did that to save costs. As for mentioning the shotty design, not everything can make the video. I wanted this to be about the benefits of the upgrades
