Headshot Posted November 5, 2018 Share Been enjoying my enduro HT all over again. It is amazing what a difference a tyre can make. I bought a couple of Ardents from Stoke several weeks ago. One went on the front of the HT the other on my wifes bike. I loved it - volume is massive for a 2.4 and grip is pretty good on anything that isn't too soft i.e sand. One thing that had been bothering me on the bike was having to run quite high pressure out back on a worn Maxxis 2.3 dhr 2 leading to a very choppy ride. I bought another Ardent EXO 2.4 and fitted that. Running it at 28 psi its like chalk and cheese. The ride is far more compliant and climbing grip is very much better. Its the comfort and feeling of having a teeny bit of suspension that has made the biggest difference since I built the bike up.  Hairy, BaltazarMarques, DuncanDoughnuts and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 26, 2018 Share Before and after: Fastest way to lose 1kg on the bike: Get rid of 530ml oil in the lowers, remove coil spring and move from 38mm to 35mm stanchions. Huge shout out to Cape Cycle Systems for making this possible, and getting me on to this super new Lyrik RC2.   I'm looking forward to taking her out for her first ride tomorrow. This past weekend wasn't possible 'cos kid duties.  Edited November 26, 2018 by Cptmayhem Pieter1, stefmeister, Patensie and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 26, 2018 Share grrrrrr yeah, the combination of black and muted graphics is gonna take some getting used to, but it's already 900-1000g lighter.  Marzo is going to be hung on my wall, most likely. Never gonna sell it. BaltazarMarques 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
