MajG Posted October 29, 2020 Share They have some more subtle branded tops. Just pity travel is so risky pricey n not as frequent else it be way easier to ask someone to bring it back over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORNE Posted October 29, 2020 Share Snip Ripped/cut a hans damphf - checkReplaced with a set of new Onza Ibex I had lying around - checkDidnt want a brand mismatch so put ibex front and rear - checkDont like maxxis’ pikey sidewall branding - checkShopped for risers bars with stealth branding (more difficult than you think) - check My brother from another mother?Haha The ibex feel good, just def slower rolling that the Schwalbes, and louder for sure. They did set up tubeless on my rims infinitely easier than the Schwalbes though. So points there. Only miffed about them being 2.4 and not 2.6 but meh...i had them so i’m using them.

All you need now is the Evil The tubeless setup was a breeze. Never seen a tire seat so easy. I use the compressor from my 4x4 kit and all the tires needed was a constant stream of air to seat. Three pops and they are on. 2.4 is the max my frame can take and I never want to ride with a wider front vs rear combo again. Can't wait to test these out this weekend. I am a bit concerned about the rolling resistance. I'm already slow and I don't need anything else holding me back. I do however prefer good grip over rolling. A loud tire is ok I guess. As long as they are fairly well damped. Edited October 29, 2020 by DR ◣◢ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine went on with a normal floor pump, without sealant or soap. I put stans in there afterwards through the valve, so they def went on easy and sealed up good first go.

Reme Le Hane Posted October 30, 2020 Share Been waiting for these for a while, the Ions have been getting a bit loose in the tooth, they will be migrated to daily shoes. Patchelicious, WrightJnr, PhilipV and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR ◣◢ Posted October 30, 2020 Share Been waiting for these for a while, the Ions have been getting a bit loose in the tooth, they will be migrated to daily shoes. Dig the black. I did mine even if the grip is a bit less than my 5.10s. The sizing is a bit odd. Im a 10 in regular sneakers and the RCs in a 10 is a tad snug. Maybe just the stiffness of new shoes and i’ve only done two rides so far. Happy so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieter1 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Suppose it can qualify as a purchase, I went to Sprocket and Jack for a sag setup (I struggled to dial it on my own) and a few tweaks here and there. Juan (sorry if not spelt correctly) is a wizzard, my bike feels soooo good now. Also bought some Death grips as my Spank grips were wearing thin. The thick Death grips feel much thicker but so grippy it is lekker! Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
