Hey mate, loved the review, for such a small channel (similar to mine xD) you expained things better than many bigger ones out there. Now to my question :) I've used Michelin DH22 and 34 combo, loved the grip but not the dragginess. Now I'm on Assegai and DHR2 combo, but they don't give me enough confidence on wet-ish slippery terrain, dry seems to be absolutely fine. So I'm contemplating what to do now, do I go for Conti Kryptotal rear and Kryptotal Front (enduro casing, softer on the front), or maybe for new Michelin WIld Enduro MS front and MH at the back, or even new Michelin DH22 and DH16 at the back. Have you tried any of Michelins and if so, how would you compare them to Contis? Same question to anyone readin comments, help bro out :D Thanks!
@LifeofScottDenney17 күн бұрын
Hey mate, cheers for the reply. I haventtried any michelins yet, they're very high on my list but a few things have set me back. The tyres you've mentioned do have high amount of drag and weight so for my locals I haven't tried them. I was really looking forward to the MH, MS tyres and to run the new rear specific except they don't make or haven't imported 27.5 rears so I can't run them with my mulletwheelset. Extremely disappointed. As for the wet weather question it is a hard one, I don't think anything with grip we'll it rocky/roots wet stuff that isn't mechanically minded,such as the argotal. That is a tyre that's given me far more confidence than the assegai in the wet. You'd definately want something with mechanical grip over rubber traction, I havemt personnaly used the kryptotals in such conditions but I'd imagine they perform similarly to an assegai. I've used my argotal at cairns in wet weather through roots etc and thought it was brilliant so I'd imagine your michellin pairing would be similarly as good. It's all give and take, best bet is a wer specific front imo.

If I had the option on my 20inch I'd probably get something with closer smaller knobs like a rocket Ron or something.

I find maxxis do undercut fast, my previous minions did it aswell. My Schwalbe's are doing it at about the same pace but the continentals lasted alot longer. I dont think its really an issue though but it is something you notice. I am getting a rubber durometer to check the compounds as in guessing this is largely due to compounds hardness used on the side knobs.

No really good advice that will dramatically change you over night.

First trail after braking bones Smokescreen then K9 💪. You have lost nothing Scott ! Good to see you both carving up . How good is it after your first ride back from an injury? You e come back a lot sooner than I thought so great work
Been doing 3 physio a week and being very aggressive with tendon and scar tissue massaging aswell as stretching. Hospital isn't the happiest but the physio I have has been great and I wouldn't be here without him. It was OK mate it pretty strong, it's mainly wrist reaction speeds and making accurate braking zones I struggled with today.
Also been doing alot of hiking and cleaning trying to maintain a level of fitness haha
Mate, keep up the hard work and look after yourself!
cheers mate, will do. catch you out there
Great video Scott. Couldn't be there this weekend but definitely next time.
Stunning footage
Cheers mate 🤙🤙
Awesome video, mate. we need more content of Rocky's awesome trails for people to see!!
Cheers mate, more to come
Man that was just amazing . Loved every bit of it
So good Scott. Did well to get so many different clips of everyone
Awesome job 👌
Scott that was bloody fast. Ridiculously good riding 🤘
Cheers mate, hopefully the trails start to give some more speed and less grass soon
Excellent ❤️
Great tyre video geezer, I've had maxxies nearly all the time but would use magic Mary's etc. What I have noticed with maxxies- no punctures and use none ebike tyres on my ebike 2.3.
I have found the Schwalbe Hans Dampf slide on roots alot compared to the Maxxis DHR2 and Assegai I have now. My Polygon Siskiu T8 came with Hans Dampf, and I got the maxxis with a set of used wheels I purchased. Much happier with the Maxxis so far.
We don't really have big roots here but I would tend to agree. Did you have a Mary on front to compensate? I'm currently completing my month on the Maxxis again, they are a great tyre.
@@LifeofScottDenney I had double hans dampf as that is the way it came. So I had both tires sliding on roots, which was a big issue because my home trail system is full of roots. It ruined my confidence until I switched tires.
@@aw71290 As much as the maxxis would help, I really think higher end compounds and a better front would of also helped your efforts if you wanted more tractionon Schwalbe. You've pretty much changed from a light duty trail to a heavy enduro/downhill setup and saying you've got more traction on roots. Yes that's should 100% be the case, currently I'm running through a test of 6 sets looking for the middle ground between speed and traction.
@@LifeofScottDenney The only reason I ended up with the Maxxis was because they came on the used wheelset I purchased. I might try something different once I wear these tires out. I also plan to go to 2.4 wide front and rear from the 2.6s I have. That however is a ways off as I have to wear out the tires first. I will also say that even though the Maxxis are "enduro" they are much lighter than the Hans Dampf were.
Awesome riding mate!!! Was going to sub anyways, but you earned it! Any advice for someone on a hero 9 with a max lens mod?
Maxxis is nrhe McDonald's of tires.. most popular doesn't equate to best.. With that said , ima IRC tanken and Panaracer Swoop AT guy. May try some of vee new stuff
They're both tyres not available in my country but they IRC Tanken look killer. Might try get some, I'm importing the veetire Attack HPL and FSX as we speak. But I like those IRC ones too
@@LifeofScottDenney they work well in everything and wear super well. My first purchase came from Amazon Japan LOL...then I realized the next go around they're in USA. They messed up my order(sent wrong size )and I ended up with a free tire I got them all sale a couple times already 24 USD and 29USD on 3rd order Panaracer swoop is a sweet do it all tire that wears very well too.. Downside is limited to 26x2.4 (works for me) or 27.5x2.1(to narrow) There's a china knockoff of it where they offer a wide 27.5 and 29er version...may give it a go.
The Tankens to run wider than other brands sizes also 2.6 is wider than some 2.8s I've had prior
from my experience, depending on the model you go with, a tire is a tire. They all have their perks and down sides. I had a set of high roller 2 and on my other bike magic marry's. One made me go faster with less grip on turns and the other gave me more speed on turns because i had more grip.
Nice
Cheers for the comment
If I had the option on my 20inch I'd probably get something with closer smaller knobs like a rocket Ron or something. I feel like only sometimes it's loose enough conditions for a super aggressive tire. My minion has undercut the side knobs heaps after only 350km and I think that's from our conditions being so hard pack.
I find maxxis do undercut fast, my previous minions did it aswell. My Schwalbe's are doing it at about the same pace but the continentals lasted alot longer. I dont think its really an issue though but it is something you notice. I am getting a rubber durometer to check the compounds as in guessing this is largely due to compounds hardness used on the side knobs.
Nope
@@orangielegros very constructive analysis
@LifeofScottDenney it's probably just normal hey. I've got two more brand new dhfs I gott burn through before I try something else though lol
@@vvbees I've got heaps here im testing out, on maxxis atm again. got a new camera and trying to set up new footage angles, colours and shutter speeds. early results are positive
How good is it. My helmet is like a swamp
Mate I rode Sunday morning . It was that bad I got chaffed thumbs and threw out new socks as I wore a hole in both heels. Horrible riding weather ATM.
Hey mate, sent you a message on strava yesterday to catch up sometime. check it out
Man that looked so clean 🤘
Cheers mate, full little edit will be up soon
@@LifeofScottDenney look forward to it! Is that from this morning? I saw you doing a scoping ride on Strava . Bloody rain stopped me doing what I wanted to do
@@mickfromrocky yeah that was us. Didn't know if rain was going to set in or what but ended up alright
Awesome run mate, Just got a brand new enduro bike and am excited to get into some faster cactus runs! Hope to someday be close to your level
Awesome job bro, I personally am only starting to explore more of the trails and recently did the megatron route (damn I regret it haha) but want to ask, any tips on the climbs? The decents are alroght for me but the climb really gets to me 😅
No really good advice that will dramatically change you over night. Consistency will be the key, once you train your body to maintain a higher intensity or to fatigue less at a higher heart rate it will get easier. It's rarely something you'll notice but go 3 times a week challenging yourself for a few months and watch your climb times drop. It all comeswith hard work (I'm not there atm, been too lazy haha)
@TheIPhazR haha i feel you, been working 12 hour shifts all week and barely have time to get out on the trails 😅 trying to get back out atleast once a week for sure Do you reckon Upper whitey and that whole route is doable for a casual rider, the Black diamond really concerns me and that whole route is one ive never done before
@@zmrgdz9535yeah, whitey would be. Few challenging bits you can go around but whitey is more of a challenge to go fast rather than to just go down.
@@LifeofScottDenney true true, might stick to lower pig to get to cactus for now then, thanks for the heads up
Turbo back it and out capacitor
Nice Video, Iam planning on building my first custom watercooled system pretty soon. Looking at the draining and stuff looks pretty scary but Iam excited to start building on mine. Your build looks really nice btw.
Thanks man! At first I wasn't going to do much with fill/drain valves as i was just going to work around it but now I think its pretty much required. I can get so much coolant out I'm not even worried about destroying parts. Best of luck with your build!
Man that was fast 🤘 congrats on the strava battle , sick run
Cheers mate, hopefully more to come!
Jak tak szybko można wogule😮😮😮
Yeew 🤘
Made that look easy 🤘 really struggle with that trail from that feature on 🤣
Cheers mate, yeah the chute is steep and then it's hard to maintain your speed for the steep sections. I'm still only new to the track, started riding it this week for the racing at end of month. Fun trail, dunno why I've ignored it
