pikes element gen1 5 speed

so far, feel nearly the same laugh.gif but got few different compare to brompton
- some sway and flex feel
- soft rear absober
- posture not for me

i heard the gen2 pikes element does feel better, and 95% feel and copy brompton laugh.gif

LOL, all these while just read articles and reviews. after riding the real thing, the advantages are very clear.

the best thing is... the p9 has square tapered spindle BB and the XDS has hollowtech bb, and it the cranks feel stiffer when u ride off saddle on climbs on the p9. no noticeable flex at the bb area.

square tapered bb feels better than the hollowtech?

what i want to say is the p9 can climb better than the xds because the frame has no flex

My D9 stock left pedal came off partially while climbing. Had to push the remaining distance home. Will shop for a spanar / plier to see if I just needed to reinstall the pedal or had to shop for a pair of new pedals.

buy 2 casette with what cog u want. then mix both casette,.

i've done that with my fnhon setup,.
custom 11-18 8speed with +1t jump, at 1st im thinking about going for 9s. but 9s better 10s. but since its 16", why do i need so many gear?

so i mix 11-23 and 11-28. later for climbing i can put 11-28 and follow what ratio i want

this is 11-28 casette originally

and this setup after i mix with 11-23

i don't understand.

10 speed cassette 11-28T not enough?
you need more top speed or what?
if want climb why not downsize chainring?

11-12-13-14-15-17-19-21-24-28

if pair with 46T chainring on 406 20"

11T = 84 gear inches
12T = 77 gear inches
13T = 71 gear inches
14T = 66 gear inches
15T = 61 gear inches

28T = 33 gear inches

46T ÷ 11T x 1490mm x 90 rpm x 0.00006 = 33.6km/h already lo
if pair with 45T chainring on 406 20"

11T = 82 gear inches
12T = 75 gear inches
13T = 69 gear inches
14T = 64 gear inches
15T = 60 gear inches

28T = 32 gear inches

45T ÷ 11T x 1490mm x 90 rpm x 0.00006 = 32.9km/h already lo

chill bro... relax.. i just wanna check if my hub length can accommodate the 11sp cassette or not. if can then i will go for it. if cannot then i will just use 10sp. smile.gif
and i mention i need close ratio on the high gear. so on the low side if have 30 or 32 will be good for climbing
looking at 11sp - 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 19, 21, 24, 27, 30
more is always better than less no? so at the end of the day if cannot take 11sp then 10 sp is good enough rolleyes.gif

have you think of chainline angle…

sometimes dual chainrings setup will be better.

good u remind me of this. need to reconsider this as well. maybe will affect too much on the chainline angle hmm.gif

downsize chainring bro...then only consider change the cassette.

once you downsize chainring then you will comfortable to ride with your 9 speed cassette 11,12,13.
*
currently using 451 wheels and using 50t x 11-32t cassette. cassette size is 11,12,13,15,18,21,24,28,32
i have actually down size from 53t to 50t. maybe need downsize to 48t further? hehe

somehow i felt if i have the extra 14t in and also the extra 16/17t in current setup will helps a lot during riding. tongue.gif
so far using the 32t climbing is ok. so far have not encounter any steeper hills in my area that the 32t cannot handle.

if i say 42T will you have a try?

see, you think you feel more comfortable if you have 14T, means 11,12,13 are heavy for your comfortness.

you prefer to have 14T to 17T close ratio because the gear inches is around 65 to 80, that's most people comfort gear inches too on cruising.

in order to ride in the 11,12,13 close ratio range, you really need downsize chainring to 42T.

not sure if you could get 42T easily or not but most 42T is from 52T/42T dual chainrings.

i do have a 41T single chainring, because i can't get 42T so i bought this.

*
to be honest most of my ride im on 13t with current 50t. depending on ride style sometimes is 12t and 13t switch a lot between this too. 13t and 15t also switch a lot. thats why i say if i have a 14t will be nice to use. 11t seldom use. sometime doing power sprint i use 11t and ride to the max. with my current cog 15t then towards 18t i think that having something in between will be a bit better which is a 16/17t. thats what i feel la. hehehe...
so far i have not tot of 42t chainring. sounds like a lilttle too small? if i compromise too much on the high then the low gear will be super low? hmm.gif
