I would advise a 2.6 if you expect any mud at all. I’ll leave them as long as I can. I may switch the rear out and use these as the next two front tires.

  • @jay_fp5019
    @jay_fp5019 Рік тому +6

    May want to consider the entry-level Dew (without the Plus). It's cheaper, comes with a 22/36 in the front, which together with the 11-34 8-speed delivers gear ratios between 17" low and 86" high. The 8 speed 11-34 cassette is lighter, cheaper and probably wears slower than the 11-4x solutions on the other bikes. Altus parts not fancy, but do work, and again cheap to replace. Mechanical discs easy and cheap to maintain. Same frame and fork as on the "Plus", same number of bosses. Biggest drawback is low top end speed when you're not hauling gear.

Fast delivery: It arrived 5 weeks earlier than expected.4. Easy assemblyJust a few cons but nothing major:1. Cheap tin tubes and had flat on first day... but not a big deal. I replaced the tubes.2. Seat is a bit uncomfortable but that's pretty much the same situation with most bikes.3. Seat post is a bit long/high for a smaller size 48 bike - had to saw 2 inch off to fit properly. The lowest setting is too high. The post locking system does not seem to hold well (perhaps because I saw 2 inch off).4. wheels are not tubeless compatible (from what I can tell)

    Some of these "adventure" bikes you suggest would need new brakes 100% no way around it no possible way you could safely navigate a trail with any elevation, rocks, or sharp turns without addressing the brake issues. poor brakes calipers plus cheap cable housing that will compress render a few of these unridable...even as rail trail cruisers. clearly have not ridden these bikes I sure hope people do some research first, flat bar brakes are pretty cheap but for drop bars can really get expensive.... so expensive you could have moved way up the line and gotten good brakes and some better spec parts as well.
