That looks great. Where did you get the coil for the dhx2 though? That looks like it would go really well with the new gold 38 too. Custom cerakote?

MTX Red or Gold Pads. I run Red's on my DH-Rs and I prefer the feel over TRP or Shimano Sintered and the bed in time on TRP rotors was hilarious quick. Will be switching my XT 4 pots and Trail Evos over once the current pads are toast.

Wow, that's crazy. I thought the U.S. has been off the gold standard since Nixon in '71. Oh wait, I don't think we're supposed to get into politics here.

I ran my TRP's with Shimano metallic pads. Be aware that bed-in takes an extremely long time when paired with the TRP rotors though.

Galfer Ebike pads are what we ran in DH-R's they were/are excellent & IMO were better than the TRP metal pads. Cant ever go wrong with shimano pads though.

8/4/2024 3:23pm Quick question on brake pads. Im getting TRP DH-R Evo's and want to grab some sintered pads for them. I remember seeing they are compatable with shimano. Would some DO2S pads work or would you reccomend different sintered pads? Cant find the trp ones anywhere

8/3/2024 1:35pm Thank you! I might try a bit softer then. Its a regular bike. To be completely honest ive always been running tubes at 30psi on exo + casings so wasnt sure how soft i can go. Being used to the tubes i figured i could start semi conservative but maybe 23 front 25 rear would be a better start. Gonna...

I've been rocking specialized tires lately. Purgatory t9 grid trail, ground control grid t7 on the hardtail; butcher t9 grid trail, eliminator t7/t9 grid gravity on the trail bike, and cannibal t9 grid gravity front and rear on the enduro/park bike. Things I would like: 1. I wish they offered the ground control in grid trail casing. It's a great tread design for the rear on a hardtail/downcountry bike but grid casing leaves something to be desired even when running with cushcore 2. Expand the grid gravity tires to have more in the t7/t9 or even full t7 compound for...

I'm roughly 88kg (195) kitted up running 22psi, regular bike and specialized gravity casing, which is stronger yeah but feels like you are still going too high on pressure? But if it works for your terrain/speed/hits its all good.

8/3/2024 3:12am My front tire is only an enduro casing which is why i wanted to start there vs starting too low. Im 170 lbs

8/2/2024 10:34pm Really good deal. I dont think it could get much cheaper without compromising somewhere on parts spec.

8/2/2024 10:31pm Makes sense. I already have a feeling im gonna end up starting around 25 front 26 in the rear. Maybe a bit less in the front and see what it does and go from there

What i think is irrelevent, Same with suspension setup. Tyre pressure is very person related, how do you ride, where do you ride, weight, what wheels, bike type etc Only you can answer that. I often go as low as i can but so the tyre doesnt squirm under heavy load, if starts to move around alot, up the psi by 2 or so. On heavily blown out tracks that gives alot of feedback, sometimes coming down in pressure can help aswell.

Curious what y'all know about the new Specialized tires with tire dampening technology. Is that like a mud conditions tire for wet terrain? Or is it a dry tire, but it dampens the dirt so it becomes wet and tacky?

the argotal in SS is excellent in the wet. Also be aware the conti carcass is quite stiff so you can use lower pressure to assist the 'soft'
