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 ?

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 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

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 .

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 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?

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!

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.

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.

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 ?

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.

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!

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
