TAAHIRWP Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 dankie! need to get used to the bike, but its super super fun, like the inbred wow!Hows it feel to be on smaller wheels compared to the inbred? I see you using a HR II up front with Ardent rear, always wondered about that combo. Seems like a good idea! Is the Yari spaced at all? also, tokens installed, or running normal?

Tyres were freebies, thanks @mountain_lionhe gave them to me, i just needed to collect them, the seem ok, front 2.3 rear 2.25. as for Yari, its standard Yari off the shelf, bought it with 120mm all i did was put in a 150mm airspring, the standard tokens with the 120mm Pike is 3, so i don't know i didn't check it may be 3 in the Yari too... i can't compare to the inbred, the only similarities are they are both OnOne and both steel, other than that their builds are completely different

Sidewalls are stiffer that the Mary SS trailstar im used to. Not much in terms of damping, but grips nicely when on its side. I have not noticed any slipping yet. in a straight line I think its pretty quick. The ardent, well I would still like to try those someday. but you have the experience with those, probably will be able to get more performance out of them with the grippy front HR II. I think I also have the Yari, think its standard too. but I find it linear in its travel. was thinking about adding 1 x token to get some ramp. so yours is 150mm now then right? looks like that bike can bomb down nuh, probably jumps and corners nicely too..

Eddy Gordo Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Did you notice any blocks braking or cracking on the HR, especially side knobs? I sold mine because of this.
Hairy Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Did you notice any blocks braking or cracking on the HR, especially side knobs? I sold mine because of this.I had a set of DHRII on the front of my old 26'er and did some mileage on them ... had no such issues. Edit: I need to read the post's I am replying to a little better ... I had the DHRII not the HRII's.
TAAHIRWP Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Did you notice any blocks braking or cracking on the HR, especially side knobs? I sold mine because of this.on the older HR supertacky yes. On the HR II I have yet to notice any knobs breaking off. ive been on mine for what, 2months maybe?? but I have been riding them like 3 times a week on average.. surfaced roads included.

T-Bob Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Wheels, wait till next week. Local peeps bringing out some sick wheels had the privilege of checking them out.Lyne?
Capricorn Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Did you notice any blocks braking or cracking on the HR, especially side knobs? I sold mine because of this.Had an HR II on the rear wheel a while back. One session at G-spot and the side knobs were ripping off. Was quite ironic, because at the time fingers were pointing at Schwalbe as being the sole criminal when it comes to knobs ripping off. Not saying all that finger pointing wasn't justified,but really, one session? Lovely tire though. Would recommend it again, just perhaps not suited for the hardpack that is the lower sections of G-spot
Chavo Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Heard about the Lyne wheels as well, looking forward to their release. Any idea on pricing?

Super tacky or 3c will not last on hardpack.... friend of mine has the hans damf on the rear swears by them and at them! Tyre literally disintegrates some more every ride
