Cleaning Jackson's Trail in Moab Utah with a FLAT REAR TIRE! | Amasa Back Trails
มุมมอง 402 ปีที่แล้ว
I cracked my rear rim while riding upper Captain Ahab, but still wanted to finish with Jackson's trail. Rode just on the tire insert up HyMasa and Cliff Hanger, and then down Jackson without any dabs.

Leading the way and cleaning all of the upper section of Portal, except for the big rock at the end. I've ridden over obstacles like that before, but there is serious exposure at that spot and I didn't want to risk it.

I have maxxis ikon and doing same thing I think because if maxxis tyres got EXO protection sidewalls but i have one without EXO and don't seem do it like EXO so i wish maxxis never made EXO protection sidewalls i rather without EXO so tyre sit straight
Even today problems
Thanks for this! One question, why this system doesn't have some kind of separator btwn bearings, something like a cylinder?
None on my light construction ones. Maybe Onzo for next tire but loving the delium
Mine does it too if u flip the bike upside down
Same thing happens to my Front Hope Tech 3s ( same color & same colour But a V10. Spooky.
Same problem with Schwalbe Hans dampf.
I have a set of tech4 v4. Myn feels spongy when i first squeeze them but as i keep pumping them they get firm. Ive bled them like 5 times. Its only happening to the one brake (rear) everytime i bleed them they feel good again then after 2-3 rides they go spongy no oil seems to be leaking any where .... any ideas what the problem is ?
Mine are the same , have you found the solution???
@@LookasMTB I contacted hope they recommend me to take apart the lever and check the master cycliner seals. Havnt done it yet will get back to you once I do, or you let me know if you solve this issue
I need to do this to my santa cruz and i have some questions! First, it looks like this tool JUST fits the larger bearings, how do you remove the two smaller bearings on the upper link? Second, theres supposed to be a spacer between the bearings on the two sides, isn't that spacer going to make it so that tool can't actually grab behind the bearing?
I made my own tool to remove the smaller bearings, start watching the video around 5:00. You could accomplish this various ways, using sockets, etc. I saw that Santa Cruz is now including a spacer between the bearings, and you're right, this bearing removal tool won't work if there's a spacer. The spacers I saw had a notch cut in the end so you could stick a punch in from the opposite side and hit the edge of the bearing (since the punch would fit through the notch). You would then work your way around the bearing until it is fully removed. Once the first bearing and spacer is removed, you could use this tool to remove the second bearing, although you would probably just use the punch again.
I got 2 , dhr 2s a couple years ago . The rear one started weeping after 6 months . I photoed the tire ID and they upgraded me with a dhf maxtera because they were out of dhr2 duel compound . I put that on the front and put the other dhr on the back . That weep at 1.5 years later and now a bit over 2 years developed a bulge in the tread area . Now it's a tire with allot of miles but I know this batch of maxxis minions has a separation issue . I bought the tires from Spain at a good discount . I figure it's a old batch that had a known defect and sold them anyway . It was to late for warranty for second tire and the problem did not manifest till I put in the rear which takes more force . Weep and bulging is sign of tire separation .
E para 29 /2.4 , qual pneu seria ?
It's a defect in the way the steel bead is set in the tire during manufacturing.
WHAT DO THEY SAY ABOUT HOPE COMPONENTS? "I ( HOPE ) THEY WORK?" THAT IS WHAT MY BIKE MECHANIC JUST SAID TOO ME! RRRRRRRRRR.........!!!!!
you made this video 4 years ago...how have the brakes been since the new seals
I no longer have the brakes, but after replacing the seal they worked great.
@@leonardnick6019 HOW LONG DID YOU KEEP THE BR8KS? HOOW LONG DID THEY WORK?
How do I get tech 3 V4 calliper piston in ? I bought new front brake but when it arrived one of the pistons were out and I can't get it back in or get the pads in .
In thingverse search for the tool to open the bore caps, one friend printed for free in his 3d printer. Cheers
How do you know it's properly seated. Did you use soapy water and a tire seating tool? Did you overinflate, seat it with the tool, then released some pressure? Fully seated and properly seated are not the same thing.
I've had maxxis tires that have looked like that, looked seated correctly and everything. I took the tire off and messed with it and I got much better. I'm not saying it doesn't look seated correctly but consider redoing it if you haven't because it helped me with my maxxis tires. Any update on findings?
I've had this happen on a couple Maxxis tires too.. I did try reseating these a couple times but the result was the same. I only posted this video to help with the warranty/return process, and I just returned them. I was hoping these could be a cost effective alternative to Maxxis, and they do seem like decent tires, but ultimately I still prefer Maxxis and their higher cost is worth it to me. The Delium tires also didn't seem to roll quite as well, as if the rubber compound caused more drag. I've experienced that same feeling with Specialized tires.
@@leonardnick6019 bummer! I really appreciate the update though. Just out of curiosity what type of surface / riding conditions did you try then in?
@@HindsightFPV It was hard pack dirt trails, and some of the time was on pavement. Conditions were dry, so I’m not sure how much traction they would have in wet conditions or mud.
@@leonardnick6019 hey thanks for the info
I've got a pile of Maxxis tires with 75% tread and bad bulges. The latest is a DHR2 WT that bulged after half a dozen rides.
I've had so many issues with these E4 brakes. I've inherited a bike from a friend while he's away and already put a ton of money into his bike. I've bled these multiple times several different ways. No way there's air on my lines. It sat in storage for awhile and the pistons where seized. I fixed that issue, but now I just don't have any power. barely any. At the lever, it sounds like it's sucking air in. I need need to get this thing going otherwise I'm out the cost of the drive train and dropper I put on. Can you give me an idea of what parts I should replace. Sounds like the piston is leaking air? So possibly the seals?
Most likely the seals, did you ever fix them?
Im using Schwalbe G-one all round. I think its worst then this. But riding feels normal
The bulge also exist in the other brand, such as maxxis the bulge is more severe and dangerous when use
Having the same exact problem. First ones were great fourth pair the worst bad molding.
Same for me with a Minnion exo...
Does this affect the ride at all or is it not a big deal? I have the same issue with a new aggressor. I cant return it but I dont want to just throw it away. Would u race with a tire like this?
Great vid. Question, please -- Did you ever have a gap form between the lower linkage and the rear triangle, on the drive side of the bike? (I have a Nomad 3.) When I screw in the pivot axel bolt into the rear triangle, the tab the bolt screws into is pushed away from the linkage - leaving a 1-2 mm gap. It super tight/flush on the non-drive / bolt insertion side. If so, any solutions to fixing it? Thanks!
No, I never experienced that. Is everything normal where the linkage connects to the main triangle? It almost sounds as if the linkage is offset relative to the rear triangle- too tight on the non-drive side and not tight enough on the drive side.
@@leonardnick6019 It seems to be normal at the main triangle connection. Even spacing on both side of the linkage. When the bolt is not tightened down the linkage sits evenly between the two mounting tabs of the rear triangle.
@@dancing8595 That is odd, I was going to suggest making sure all the bearings are fully pressed in, but it sounds like they must be. Not sure what could be going on there.
@@leonardnick6019 Yeah. Hoping Santa Cruz gets back to me soon.
@@leonardnick6019 Yeah, they are. Thanks for responses. I did make a video at th-cam.com/video/eWV_OIuhvmQ/w-d-xo.html of the problem.
Have the same tire problem but your maynardish voice. I had to play Simultaneous
Same issue here and is all over the side walls so the tire stand inflated just a couple of hours :(
Awesome video. Any chance you can share the files, or share the descensions of the parts you made? Any chance you are selling the parts?
Same problem with new, never ridden, double down aggressor... and its 2022
I have the same problem with My rekon ‘s , front tire seated properly . En also the bulge . I also thought it was the rim , But the rim was new so …
Would you sell those tools? thnaks!
The more I dig through videos the more people I find having this issue. Seems as if it’s been going on for years now looking at upload dates. - I got one earlier last year with a terrible wobble/bulge. And, the warranty replacement tire had the exact same terrible bulge. Maxxis, please figure out why it’s happening this frequently. For anyone having the issue, you need to contact Maxxis for a replacement, or the place of purchase.
The problem in most cases is not the tire. It's the installation on new type of rims - carbon rims. They are usually much tighter than aluminum equivalent. The damage happens when the tire is overstretched by the tire lever.
It’s true that tires fit tighter on some rims than they do on others, but I never use tire levers to install tires. Maybe they would be needed with DH casing or Double Down, but I typically use EXO or EXO+. I’m always able to install them without tire levers, on my rims at least, even though they are carbon.
master cylinder seals
I have the same problem and no solution...
Same problems here and glad I'm not pulling me hair wondering why my wheel.keeps wobbling.I had two sets of tires and all them had wobble from day 1 which only got worse the more I took the tire off the wheel throughout time.
In the past year I have had two Maxxis Assegai tires with the same issue always right at the yellow logo. Also one Agressor which had a very heavy spot at the yellow logo bad enough to feel it while riding. Purchased them through Amazon = easy return. Still like the tires but check them out carefully before the return window closes!!
Same here, on a Minnion exo 2.4 and also an two Agressors Double Down 2.4. all 27.5. The sealant, (Caffelatex Effeto Maripossa) doesn´t seem to ever finish sealing the tiny holes... weird.
you have air in side
i got same prob but with 27.5 icon buut its in 3 places on oppsing sides so i went back to magicmary n prob solved twisted was word tho its defin twiisted like uvsaid thanks man
What's the best way to push pistons back ? Is there a tool I can use ?
Park tool PP 1.2
I just had 2 wheels built and have the same problem on the front tire. Rim spins close to perfectly true but tire has the same wobble as yours in the video.
Что это за чудо?
Same problem here
wow....wtf....Did you return it ?
Add water and soap on tyre side during install?
is 2021 in june and maxxis is still having same.problems with many of their tires. even leaking from the walls on brand new tire and i had the same issue with Assegai tires.
Bought a assegai DD and a highroller DD, assegai was almost impossible to mount, it was wobbly as hell after pumping it up, the highroller has just a small wobble that i can live with. For me this only happened with dd, dh casings, but never with exo
is 2021 and im having the same issue brand new tires. im using stands sealant. i have heard that it could be because of humidity. but i also think is a problem from manufacture since day one they stared to leak. for a moment o tough it was my cat the climb on the tire but i also did the same check but with soapy water and i can see also lots of tiny wholes where air comes out im running 30 psi.
I have a brand new Dissector doing the same where it says 2.4, or the same sort of writing inlays where yours are happening. So pissed off!
Same i have a dissector exo casing that i just bought leaking around the maxxis logo.
my new dhr2 is just like that.. im kinda disaponted with this tire.. a lot of people using this brand so i tought this tire is good.. im new into mtbiking and saving money for it and now i have to ride with with tire like that..
Great video. I actually replaced those seals last night in fact on the Tech 3 lever. Stupidly I didn’t realise the difference in the seals and I ended up breaking the primary seal whist installing it in the secondary seal location. I ended up running the bigger seal on both locations and the bigger seal was noticeably baggy. I put it back together and bled them hoping it would work. To find the exact same issue you had in your first video. New parts on order now and lesson learnt. Jim- uk
That sounds frustrating! But I’m glad the video was helpful. Good luck!
