Mega avalanche 2017 qualifying - Mountain bike turbo training inspiration video
Переглядів 1044 роки тому
Uploaded to watch while i'm using my turbo trainer or rollers - First time at the mega. 120th on the grid (pretty much back row) finished 47th out of 150 just outside qualifying for the main race but good enough for the second row on the challenger race.
I did it! MT5 eStop + XTR levers. Beautiful
great video just ordered shimano levers
3 years later, do you still run this brake setup?
Hey Man, it’s not Plastic but Polycarbonate. Otherwise Germanys Army would have a Plastic G36 😂❤ Fancy up a bit. Probably it is even Forged Carbo Carbonate …
I've been maintaining bikes for 25 years, and I'd say that's just enough grease! Keeps the water out 👍
Where the start of this track
A 1/8 NPT tap fits perfekt for removing the bushing Just put the tap in a vice, screw the pedal on it and pull. As mentioned before the bushing is not all the way in. Mine was at 14.5mm and the screw cap with the o-ring removed has the perfect size to push the bushing in.
That hose kit is compatible with mt 501 brake lever?
Awesome is the proper word for it but also @Sandykavor8434 is quite right about bushing position.
Hi are these trails still here? Anything else here to ride?
Yes i think so, last time i was there anyway. yes there are more good tracks further along into the woods.
When you pushed the pistons back in you potentially drove contaminants into the caliper; Park tools has a great video on how to prevent this...
I did exactly as you said... Despite downloading HEVC hardware decoder I am unable to open GoPro 360 files and can only open normal videos. :(
um... it can be frustrating I would recommend if you have a graphics card, check that you are using the most up to date drivers for it. that stopped it working for me once. also make sure your adobe is all up to date and windows too (probably in that order) and if that doesn't work switch it off and back on again...😭
what is the difference between xt levers and saint levers
fiire
what size are those bearings?
685 Enduro (5x11x3mm)
Outstanding video, even in 2024. Thank you.
For this kind of riding you need the MT7 Raceline, the one that Danny McCaskill promotes (just glad he doesn't have to pay for it ;-) although I must say this brake always locks up my wheels when I want to with just 1 finger.
Poor guy has 70k views but 700 subs
😭 So true! lol
Hi.I'm going to do the same with my brakes.I'm thinking of using Magura Royal blood oil.Magura oil has a higher viscosity and withstands higher temperatures and heating during operation.What do you think?What pin you use on a hose?Magura or Shimano pin?What ID (inside diameter) BH-90 is 2.1mm wide ID,and BH-59 is 2.5mm ID,the BH-59 pins are made of brass usually,and BH-90 out of stainless steel?Obviously for Magura oil it would be better with a bigger one ID pin.
oh didn't know that about the magura fluid. personally i would advice shimano fluid as its more readily available should you need to get some in a rush when away from home. but I'm pretty sure people have mixed them with out any major issues. maybe try your front break one way and the back the other and see if you can tell a difference?
Thanks.@@prototypecomponents
Thanks man, stopped me from trying to go tubeless on Maxxis Holyrollers. Ride on!
Glad it was helpful. tbh I think my rim didn't help but definitely not an idea tyre to run tubeless.
Great explanation, I appreciate your help and time, cheers!
great glad it was helpful.
Good thing came across this video. I have a leaky Magura MT5 lever. Tried fixing with a new master cylinder piston but was still leaking. Managed to purchase a set of Shimano SLX M7100 levers at less the price of just 1 Magura lever. Just waiting for my new barbs, olives and bolt in the mail and I'll do the conversion this weekend. Can't wait!
How did it work out? I have the MT7 Raceline and the lever went soft after a few month. Magura sent me a complete MT7 Pro set under warranty, but the rear is still softer than the front brake. Thinking of putting Shimano levers in.
Whats with the slag in the thumbnail
Hi👊 Little suggestion😉 If you are bleeding the lever, it should be in the upper position in relation to the caliper, the point is that the brake hose should go straight from the caliper to the lever so that the air bubbles escape through gravity upwards, and your hose comes out of the top cap, goes up and then in down to the lever and this makes it difficult for air bubbles to travel to the funnel. Regards 🤙
I was thinking the same when I watched the video, but I guess with this bike setup this routing is kind of the only way its possible.
@@tomgroenbeck7620 When performing a bleeding service, we place the bike on a service stand which allows us to rotate the bike in any position, so if we do not want to dismantle the pins holding the brake cable (which is easy and takes a moment) to dismantle the brake, just turn the bike to a vertical or semi-vertical position to be able to bleed with the brake mounted on the bike and the hose running vertically from the bottom caliper up to the lever regardless of how the brake hose was routed in/on the frame.
Brilliant dude really enjoyed the video my friend 😊👍🇬🇧
can we use MT200 brake lever on MT7 caliper
10mm rawl bolt works great to get bushings out.
I already got xtr m9120 break set . I want to change my callipers with MT7. Do I still have to do same things with the levers ? Or just change it callipers ? Please help .
most people seem to say its easier to replace the Shimano hoses with Magura ones to get the best connection. (less chance of leaking)
I got barb and olive bh59 .. I think I bought to wrong one right. It should be Bh90 :(
I made it to the end....great job mate!!
well done! lol hope it helped.
Nice video. But 😂. The yellow pad spacers are also the bleed block. Just turn it around.
Video and tool worked a treat, thanks
This is incredibly helpful ! Thank you so much. I even managed to watch it all the way to the end ;)
I heard about shigura from my neighbor and he had them on his bike and they were pretty good
That's some sick parcouring! Without any sarcasm, it looks really cool, I'm interested if I could do some stair walking with my mtb hahahahha, even though I'm having a hard time learning to lift up my rear wheel
would this work with tektro calipers with shimano leavers?
If they are both mineral oil and you can ensure a proper seal with the line and lever, then yes.
Hi, I'm planning use the Magura MT5 brakes (I found a good deal on eBay) with my Shimano Deore XT brake levers (model BL-M800) which barb an olive I should get BH90 or BH59? thank you.
that saint lever reminds me of TRP lever, just the lever
Used this twice now. Most complete and helpful walk through I found. Great job and thanks!
That's Great to here glad you found it useful.
Do you know how these compare with full Saint setup? It seems like I can save some money with Shigura, but I also want the best performance (second to Trickstuff that is).
Never ran full saint setup personally, use to run zee's and I imagine there pretty similar, Shigura probably has a bit more power, I would say. but its more of just a fun setup to run if you like experimenting or have Maguras but don't get on with the levers.
Watching this as i had a dumb day yesterday doing dumb crashes doing Downhill trails on my Downhill bike as it was the 2nd day in a row id been MTB & it was really hot & i was too tired to be riding in retrospect lol, oh & i pedal my DH rig up half of the hill cos i dont wanna pay for a chairlift & we can just drop in for free, from the council trails into the bike park.. And its the 2nd week ive been back MTB after doing my PCL 4 months ago, so my 4th time back riding, so my confidence is shot & i was overthinking shit lol.. So anyway, i had a dumb crash, one of 3 yesterday, & broke my MT5 rear lever & had to front brake the whole way down the hill which wasnt fun, after attempting to ride down a blue trail with just the front brake & failing miserably haha, washing out on the first switchback, falling over & miraculously avoiding damaging my rehabbing PCL on more rocks haha! So after just walking it till i got to a tarseal road, just front braking down 300m decent was tremendously unenjoyable to say the least!.. So now im DONE with Magura levers & looking at the Shigura set up so this is really informative.. Cheers! :) What i love about the MT5s is the modulation & stopping power in perfect balance. What i now obviously hate about Magura is the levers.. So with the Shigura setup what's the modulation like? Does it improve on shimano which is very off/on i feel, while giving the peace of mind of reliability? Ive run SRAM Codes before & while they have modulation the stopping power is rubbish, I found i had to be on the brakes more. The modulation of the Maguras is awesome while the stopping power is amazing & so reliable. Obviously the levers are terrible.. So is Shigura really the best of both worlds, does it just improve the leaver reliability or the whole braking action itself? Bear in mind im doing either short but steep dark-blue/single black runs, long flow descents or longish but steep dark-blue/single black runs depending where im riding, often 400m vert descents.. Although keeping it to no more than dark blue until I'm fully done with rehabbing..
Thanks for you comment sorry for the slow reply I only just finished reading it... lol With regard to modulation its not the best setup but I have Trial Tech pads in the back which definitely doesn't help with modulation...
Thanks!
I have the Shimano brake setup. Can I get just Magura calibers and still do this? Or does it have to be Magura brake system with Shimano levers?
Easier to do the setup with Magura hoses so you shimano to Magura interface is at the lever not the calliper.
The video quality gets much worse than the original footage once you apply the GoPro FX Reframe plugin and export it from Premiere Pro. Does not matter if my sequence settings is 1080p or 4K. So annoying!
Widening the field of view helps the standard crop isn't very wide angle so doesn't contain many of the 5.6k beyond that there's not much you can do (that I know of) biggest loss is at upload to UA-cam always bring a tear to my eye... :(
Magura calipers have a small space for a disc and that causes difficulties to center the caliper and not hear disc rub on break pads. Also even tiny disc bend is the pain in the ass of the same reason
umm Yer I guess setup is a little bit trickier than some in that respect, but it does result in a good lever feel, when setup right. so guess its a bit of a Compromise.
I would like to replace the brake hose on my ShiGura. I can't get a hold on a magura hose , Can I use shimano hose instead? Thanks
Works best with Magura hose might be possible with Shimano hose but more difficult to get a good connection at the calliper end.
Is the video now fixed to the angles that you put in Premiere? Or will I still be able to "look around" in all directions with VR glasses when watching it on YT
This tutorial is for reframing the footage into a more traditional fixed camera view, you can however use he plugin for 360 footage but that's not covered in this tutorial.
I saw in a vidéo that it's useless to activate the break to get some bubble.(ua-cam.com/video/C6GsqUwfx-k/v-deo.html it's in french)
Nice video! I ordered some Aliexpress aluminum levers, because the magura material feel kinda soft. I also feel like magura hose is bad quality compared to a shimano. Do you know if I can replace the hose with a shimano one?
so levers are shimano calipers are Magura ,what about rotors? I have SLX 2 pistons, If I change to Magura MT5 - stopping power will grow? SLX rotors are fine with this set?
Comes down to pads ur using, not really the caliper, not sure why u wud want to change those slx 2pots, mine are monsters, stick some js04 metal pads in with some metal pad rotors, u can also up the braking power with larger rotors, 180mm 203mm.
If u want context to my slx, m675 metal pads, sm-rt 66 rotors will stop my ebike very good, minimal fade, 160nm of torque is alot of power to stop.
Thanks for the info still not sure if Ill go that path.
is there a overall simple way to frame lock?
ua-cam.com/video/bptfpSQDr8A/v-deo.html World lock and or horizontal level when you convert the file would be the simplest way but then you have less control if it not exactly what you want - but if you don't do it this way using less key frames and allowing a bit of frame drift and smoothing it out with the continuous bezier is your best bet [simpler still is the phone app]
