I used an old seatpost (not recommended😁) over an allen key to gain leverage if it helps at all. It worked brilliantly.

Hi All, does anyone have an Shimano Acera 8spd derailleur lying around? I am looking for a new one as the jockey wheels are completely worn making the chain jump everywhere. Even just the jockey wheels would be amazing. Thanks, Josh

I also train at holla and the trails there are unfortunately not that technical😒. I definitely think lighter tyres would help. The rolling resistance would be playing a big part in the slowness of the bike. The dhr 2 is definitely not suited to holla style gravel roads. I think the recon or even the ikon will be good.
