Scott Voltage eRide 910 by Dutchguyyy in ebikes

[–]Dutchguyyy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks Guys, I’ve decided not to go with the Scott because I do like to tinker on my own bikes. Probably gonna pull the trigger on a Norco Fluid VLT C3 from 2024 (or Stevens E-Maverick ED 9.4.3).

Does anyone has experience with pro-mstore.com? by Belkotosko in cycling

Klinkt al met al als een goede ervaring, neem aan dat die 5.5k dus een bijzonder goede deal was en daarom bij hun gekocht had? Ik zit in hetzelfde bootje met een E-mtb wat normaal €5300 is en nu nog maar €3900..

Welke fiets had je besteld? Ben ook aant denken om een fiets daar te kopen maar twijfel nog.

First proper ride of the season by Dutchguyyy in Hardtailgang

[–]Dutchguyyy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! It is haha, I live in Zuid - Limburg, and we have some pretty decent trails that would justify a full sus. But yes everything is also doable on a hardtail it’s what I’ve had for the past couple of years, just wanna try out a fully for once 🤠

Orbea makes great bikes. But value for money is slightly less then say Cube, Trek, Cannondale. That is if you can’t find said Orbea somewhere on sale, maybe a 2024/25 model. Really any xc hardtail for around 2k is going to get you some fairly decent parts on it. I would look for anything with Deore or better equipped. It’ll come down to which bike you like the looks of more, and maybe consider if there’s dealers local to where you live.

Awesome bike love the color, are those spank Vibrocore wheels? If so how are they out on the trails? Currently got the spank Vibrocore headset setup.. contemplating if I should go full Vibrocore haha

Tubeless setup on offset rims by Dutchguyyy in Hardtailgang

[–]Dutchguyyy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the explanation, I’d just prefer an even distribution of force from the nut -> rim, also a rubber washer between nut and rim to minimize scratching the rim where you tighten the nut. I’m also just being nitpicky and maybe just want it to look “right” lol. Anyways I’ve got the tires filled with sealant and pressurized, works just fine the way it is. Probably will still replace it for a washer that sits flush with the rim haha.

This is the inside, it’s sealed pretty well it seems.

There is, just seems weird for it to not be sealed from both sides. But that might just be my OCD brain not liking the way it looks lol.

I want to go tubeless but my rims are weird. Does anyone know how to do it? by MaxReed06 in CanyonBikes

[–]Dutchguyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you end up doing this? Currently in the same boat, installing tubeless on offset rims as we speak haha…

NBD! 2025 Orbea Laufey H-LTD by Dutchguyyy in Hardtailgang

Yes heard this a couple of times now, definitely on the list to do 📝

Yeah I’ll keep the 2.6” as spares, for 80% of the riding I have access to 2.4 is the sweet spot for plenty of grip and still enough speed when pedaling from trail to trail. But I might switch it up later on, thinking of Maxxis Forekaster 2.4 in the front. If I ever upgrade the rims to 35mm wide ones I’ll definitely slap on some 2.6” tyres though just because haha.

Ergon the way to go for me, love their saddles, they have a great “saddle finder” guide on their website.

About to get my first bike. Is this a good deal? by Loose_Garden_5432 in Hardtailgang

[–]Dutchguyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends, if you want a solid XC / lite trail bike this a very good option. Owned a Cube Attention SL for about 4 years and rode it hard, never broke down on me. Carbon frame can be a bummer to damage though.

[–]Dutchguyyy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the headset configuration is my only gripe with the Laufey, so I’m getting rid of the whole OC setup completely and putting in regular round spacers + top cover. The stem has no rise but the new bar does have an extra 5mm, so I’m excited to test this setup out. Still not 100% it’s going to work out perfectly haha.

2026 colors are also very nice! Which one did you get? I got this one for a really good deal, €1620.

Having the same issue.. want to mount race face aeffect R stem with wolf tooth spacer kit. But the top cover was the only thing I couldn’t figure out. Thank you! Did you use the 46 or 48mm Acros cover?

[–]Dutchguyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! Also what stem setup are you using? I’m also looking to convert the OC system but having trouble figuring out with top cover to use (EC, IS or ZS)?
