    Done with my Zee brakeset.. whats next?

    Of course energy method is superior to elementary school torque and leverage. It is far more difficult to master and comprehend and can be used for far more complex problems. Feel free to print my answer and study it. Aaahhhh, Just kidding men:cool:

    Done with my Zee brakeset.. whats next?

    I explained it using a scientific way, based in energy terms. This is how things make perfect sense, when one abides to scientific ethics. To use torque is not compatible with energy terms, which i had in mind. (conservation of energy) The explanation to sum it up, was clearly fulfilling for me...

    Done with my Zee brakeset.. whats next?

    It certainly can happen. Simple example: 26 tyres with super gravity casing and 29 tyres with snakeskin. It stands, i explained it scientifically here :happydance:

    Done with my Zee brakeset.. whats next?

    I clarified that we have same weight, same velocity 26 and 29 bikes that have equal kinetic Energy -> which means that rotating mass will have to be the same. This is a false statement since the kinetic Energy of a bike relates only to mass and velocity (After transforming the translational and...

    Done with my Zee brakeset.. whats next?

    This is what I'm saying, this is a false statement. Again: the kinetic Energy of a bike relates only to mass and velocity (After transforming the translational and rotational kinetic Energy equations), radius of wheel is irrelevant. Same weight, same velocity 26 and 29 bikes, have equal...

    With the bite point adjustment of the hope V4, can one achieve a lever throw of less than 1 cm?

    Sram code rsc

    i think it is quite accurate, it was performed in the hope lab. Where did you buy them from? I am thinking of freeborn or ubyk. Do they have at least the power/decceleration of the guides? (what pads are the best?) sram brakes are over for me. I want to ride or else, i might waited for...

    Sram code rsc

    so, code rsc have the same problems? Or nothing has been reported? Cause guides have been plagued with this shitty problem! hope V4 will provide adequate braking power? i read the enduro mtb test, and v4 don't have that much decelarating power, like code, mt5, zee and are supposed to give you...

    Sram code rsc

    I have guide rsc on my bike, with bleeding edge, the 2017 model that should not have problems with the piston. However, yesterday, in a hot day, 35 celsius, and riding for much time in direct sunlight, the pads suddenly rubbed the brake disc a lot (i almost couldn't ride uphill), and the lever...

    poc vpd 2.0 sizing

    Hallo! I want to buy the vpd 2.0 knee pad (the dh short version, which i guess is the same in sizing as the normal 2.0) My measurements are: 38cm (15 in) 10 cm below knee 43cm (17 in) 10 cm below knee Should i go medium or large. I read contradicting sizing reviews. Leg measurement and your...

    mavic its4 preload

    With that 1/2 turn past contact, did you get zero lateral play (no klunk when moving the wheel side to side with your hand)? Also, With that 1/2 turn past contact, did you get a nice spin from the wheel? I am having about 1 turn past contact, but the free spin is night and day compared to hope...

    mavic its4 preload

    Hallo! I have a a mavic wheelset with the its 4 system, that uses a preload adjuster. In the end of the video, it indicates how to preload correctly the bearings. 1. when adjusting the preload, the video indicates to stop when contact happens. what does this mean? When you feel the cap...

    CCDB coil - HSC

    The low leverage ratio demands higher force at the rear wheel necessary to move it a specified amount of travel.

    CCDB coil - HSC

    Another weird thing is that, if you see the LR above and the force chart below, you really wonder how is it possible commencal, norco and specialized to have higher forces in the 80-180mm region... Tues has the most progressive design with lower lr ratio in each wheel travel increment. Bear in...

    CCDB coil - HSC

    No, 1 turn that cc proposes is from plush... No logic in this, really can't comprehend it! I believe that with such a progressive LR in the tues and low LR rate in the last 100mm of travel, even if i lower a lot the HSC (~0.25 turns), i won't have a bottom out issue, or a mid support issue...

    CCDB coil - HSC

    I have a yt tues 2012, the LR chart is this: Very progressive, with a low starting LR and a very very low ending LR. At sag (30%) the LR is ~2.65. Cane creek proposes for this frame 2.5 turns for HSC, which i find really high. For reference, santa cruz v10 has this LR chart at sag (30%)...

    fox bushings-meta 5.5

    Hallo! I have a meta 5.5.3 2009 model. The shock is FOX FLOAT R. The bushings that are needed are 22.2x8 I have found 2 types of these: https://www.commencal-store.co.uk/ride-alpha-hardware-22-x-8-c2x17786745...

    which one of these 3 tyres for rear use?

    How does the aggressor compare to the vittoria morsa? I read really good reviews on the morsa, and i think it is similar category to the aggressor!

    which one of these 3 tyres for rear use?

    What about a 2.3 dhf dual in the rear? I read that it rolls better than the dhr2, good grip in all conditions, it's just a bit worse than dhr2 in braking.
