  • @Chambers36TheEnter
    @Chambers36TheEnter3 күн бұрын

    I have had these 8 months now and the soles are wearing down thin but the rest of the boot has held up really well, I wouldn't personally get the more expensive gortex version because I don't see what extra I am gaining over these ones. If the price was similar I would try the gortex just to see if it's any better but I am more than happy with the rain rdy version. In the past 2 months I doubled the distance I have been walking & there's probably another 1-2 months worth of use out of these before the sole is so worn that water would get in underneath.

I have the "shorter" version of them - Soulstride - and they are great, except the soles or grip to be accurate. I need boots for hikes and walks in the woods and muddy fields.

    I've got a set of these on my bike. I'm trying to see if there is a way to improve the bite point and get it a bit earlier. The pads seem to retract way too much. Do you think a thicker washer under the circlip would do the trick?

  • @Chambers36TheEnter
    @Chambers36TheEnterАй бұрын

    One way, which is not 100% successful first time. . Would be to remove the wheel and pump the brake a little bit so that the pads come out a bit further then when you refit the wheel the pads would be closer to the disc resulting in less lever travel before they make contact with the disc. I did that method above with a set of shimano brakes and it have only 5mm of lever travel before the pads bit, it was very on/off feeling but I liked it. Another option could be thicker discs. The standard discs tend to be around 1.8mm thick, you can get 2.0mm discs and also 2.3mm disc. It depends on the limitation of the SRAM caliper to what thickness of disc you can use. As for the circlip, well I have not worked on these brakes for a long time now but looking at a diagram of the lever I don't believe a thicker circlip would work for a few reasons. It is a cheap option so might be worth a shot, however here's my reasons way I don't think it would work. . 1. There is a groove for the cirlcip to fit into and a thicker one would potentially not fit in that groove. 2. If you push the piston down further into the bore of the master cylinder it could block the return hole, meaning the caliper pistons wouldn't release when you let go of the brake. 3. I think the washer would block the thicker circlip from moving the piston so it wouldn't change anything. Bit of a long answer, sorry.

  • @RobBrownSTS
    @RobBrownSTSАй бұрын

    Heya thanks for the reply. Great insights. I ended up fixing my issue by accident. I saw a video for getting the calliper pistons lubed to make them less sticky and in the process I think I managed to squeeze more fluid into the system by moving the pistons around with the syringe attached at the lever, now they take nice and early. Stoked. I’ll need to come back to this video soon though as I think my one lever’s piston is sticking. Probably also swollen.

    Hi dude, Ive got one of those red valves in my lever, but the other lever Ive got hasn't got one. Have I lost it, or has the bike shop I bought my bike from put two different generations of levers on my bike or is it supposed to be like that? Cheers!

  • @Chambers36TheEnter
    @Chambers36TheEnterАй бұрын

    Hi, It could be that the other one is just a non-stealthamajig version. As far as I can tell it's just a plug so that SRAM can fill the levers with fluid from the factory, you connect your hose and it's pre-bleed so it's no great loss if you don't have it. Also means if you want to trim the hoses in the future it will be cheaper on the non stealthamajig version.

    I would say so compared to other shoes that I tried, I found these and the Leatt's to be on the bigger side of things when it comes to toe boxes. Mine are still holding up well a year later. They offer no protection if it rains and are very stiff to walk in, otherwise I find them good for my 20-30 mile rides.
