QUOTE(lightning69 @ May 4 2017, 11:07 AM) Hello fellow MTBikers. I came across the Huck Norris anti pinch flat and rim protection foam for MTB. From the video below (which i obtain from the internet and shorten it) it looks like its a must for those who run tubeless. It was abit too late for me as I just discovered I have cracked my rear carbon rim on my Pivot M6 last week before I receive the foam I ordered. Anyway, I have managed to DIY the Huck Norris and this is how it looks. You confident with your material?![]() ![]() The benefits of this: 1. Protect your rims from cracking as a result of direct hit. 2. Allow you to use lower pressure for better grip. 3. Prevent pinch flat Its very lightweight so it doesn't really add much to your bike. The one I cut out for my front 40mm wide carbon rim is only 100g. So for narrower rim, you can expect the weight to be around 80g only. See the video below: DIY huck norris I order a rll of this high density foam and have extra for a few more to be cut out which I want to get rid off. Price is Rm10 per piece. ![]() Anyone interested can whatsapp me at 0129938889 |

QUOTE(croomaniac @ May 5 2017, 09:49 AM) Yes. Its denser the those floors mats used for kids playground. Disadvantages is that its 20g heavier per piece than those floor mat material.This acts as an extra layer of protection on your rim. Remember you have air in your tire that will provide the cushion for your rim. This foam stays in the rim doing nothing until you rim out, then this thing act as a cushion to absorb the energy. Off course nothing is 100% meaning you cannot go and slam your rim as hard and not break it. Even the hardest material when break when enough force is applied. It not only protect your rim but also prevent pinch flat on your expensive MTB tires. Pinch tires from heavy impact results in cuts on your tires which might not seal properly and resulting in costly replacement. Also prevent blurping. My friend is using in his SC Nomad and he is very happy with it as he can really feel the difference sound and feel in hard landing where when the rim hit hard, and is very confidence inspiring. I only have a few exra pieces left and after this and I don't think I will be ordering any more. I order 1m wide x 3m long roll and selling of the extra as I don't want to keep it. You can make it yourself with those colorful floor mat but you end up having many connections. Mine is 1 piece cut out from a 3m long roll. And the process to cut out to shape to reduce weight is very time consuming. Took me 3 hrs to cut 1 piece. |

QUOTE(ET1202 @ May 9 2017, 02:44 PM) Hi, does any one of you guys know about CUBE MTB? I think for a 1.6k RM, you can get better (2017 model of different bikes) but TBH, your specs aren't detailed, hence just an asuption thrown for an opinion..Saw one on offer, CUBE Attention 27.5, year 2014 (condition new), going for Thai Baht 12799. Shimano hubs, Shimano Hydraulic disc brake, Shimano FD, Rd, Deore 3x10speed, etc.. Is it worth the price....? |

I'm going to part with my Nobby Nic (I don't particularly like this tyre) and was wondering the better rubber than Nobby Nic..
Magic Mary is hard to find and mostly priced differently in between shops. Quoted for RM230 in one of the LBS. Rodalink quoted RM190 (iinm) but stocks are not in. Apart from MM, are Ardent or Minion (DHF/DHR) a better choice? They are priced near to RM100 instead of Schwalbe - near/exceed RM200 mark. Or should I die die search for MM (front & rear) or MM front, Hans Dampf at rear? NN is OK, just that I found them slippery when wet. Have to attack the roots straight. Not like my Nevagal on my 26er, they are just great in any trail condition, especially when wet. Thanks guys |
