Interested in this myself. Apparently the new pin through system is there to prevent them slacking but just seems to stop you adding tension. I’m in the same boat. Albeit with a much newer x0 mech
Not sure if they’re anodised. Just bunged the tube in and sent her on home. Didn’t pay much attention to it was pissed at the time. Will get her sorted over the weekend.
One month in on my gamuts and they’re really good. You really appreciate the extra bit of clearance from the thin profile. They’re so grippy too. No noticeably play or grittiness in them and them seem some awful conditions at home and in the tweed valley
Skylines aren’t long enough I find. Leave a gap between your shorts and pads. Also the seam in the seat runs right down the middle, mine has started to come apart after not much use.
Excuse my ignorance, but were mavic 721s (21mm inner width) not the go to dh rim in years gone by and regularly run with maxxis 2.5 inch tyres? I definitely ran them and thought they were fine and didn’t suffer from floppyness
Ye, the bit under the lever is independent of it. Moves freely. All riveted so no bolt down the middle to adjust. I’ll email orange today and see what the story is. Thanks
Do a couple of days around Wicklow, carrick where the ews was. Then head north, Rostrevor, big wood, Tollymore and Donard for some great natural trails.
Your lbs should be able to order it if they’ve an account with Madison. I got one previously for a problem similar to yours. Didn’t really cure it though
So stayed around glentress and inners in the end and I’m glad we did. Found some of the best riding I’ve done in a long time. The golfy was amazing and thanks to the local guys for pointing us in the right direction, some of you may well be reading this! It was a soaking wet day but them trails are so well built. Too hard for the ews was another firm favourite!
Really liking the new impact xvi. Running them a couple of months now and they seem a lot more thought out than the old ones. Whether or not they’ll last longer is another thing.
Checked various different bushes and mount hardware and there is still slight play with them all. This was never the case before I fitted the titanium hardware. Could it be possible that the titanium has worn away the frame slightly so the hardware is now not fitting properly?
