Iwan Kemp Posted July 27, 2017 Share Another update , can't believe how much difference the new flow wheels with ibex's make on my jeffsy ... so much better on a a steep rocky downhill trail. This is now an even greater bike ... smiles all day !! Loving the Jeffsy, but super keen to try wider rims on it. The OE wheels on our long-termer is a bit noodly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omumborombonga Posted July 27, 2017 Share So did a small face plant riding a steep rocky downhill trail im cutting in hogsback ... decided to change the xt brakes on my jeffsy for a pair of formula R1 s I bought some time ago from CRC .... awaiting a build .Xt were good but lack modulation. Rode the R1 s today, jeffsy just got better again !!I am really unimpressed with XT brakes. Power seems ok but modulation is poor. All or nothing. I am sure they are reliable but I much prefer Guide.

Johnny Lawless Posted July 27, 2017 Share Loving the Jeffsy, but super keen to try wider rims on it. The OE wheels on our long-termer is a bit noodlyIt's the weakest part of the standard spec (not that there are many) and a must upgrade. I went for Arch MK3 rims at 26mm ID and it's great. Lighter than those DT Swiss OE rims, proper stiff and more than wide enough for 2.4-ish tyres. Worthwhile upgrade all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiverInTheRoad Posted July 28, 2017 Share Except for being narrow the stock wheels are fine IMO. I have the M1900. They can take a hell of a beating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Lawless Posted September 3, 2017 Share Anyone know if our local YT dealer stocks replacement mech hangers? Have emailed them today so will probably hear from them tomorrow. Just curious if someone else was able to get one locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
