Balancing off road dual sport wheels with brass wheel weights, sort out head shake wheel wobble tip!
Просмотров 1,8 тыс.3 года назад
A quick thing I thought I'd video, lots of people don't realise their enduro or trial bike shouldn't be so unsteady on the road and sometimes it just the wheels need a balance! Stick on weights don't really last or even fit some narrow dual sport rims, but brass spoke weights do and last and work well. Have a butchers at me video and see what you think, get some weights and balance them wheels!

    My review on your review. Start with the Title. In this context, "Tear down" should mean, disassembly, so your title is misleading. I would have not gone there but when you offered the word "Paints" for Americans. It tells me you are looking for an "English" speaking audience. As a yank, I could only understand maybe 30% of your presentation. It's not the vocabulary, it's the common issue that most RUclipsrs are not trained in voice over. The rhythm is the problem. People annunciate for a phrase or so, but then mumble. It's a frustrating sing-song of understanding to WTF did he say? My tip is to speak at a constant rate and over articulate your words. If your are exhausted 1 minute into the talk, and it feels wrong than you know you're doing it right. I click on your video hoping to find someone Teardown a pair of ADV trousers, Yes we know that word, as in "Drop Trow", well on to my hunt for someone who will talk about Hip and Ass armor in ADV pants.

    What is your assesment of "fit?: For those on the other side of the pond, a lot of Euro gear is styled and fitted for slimmer fit. My biggest struggle as a Yank with thick legs (power/olympic lifter) is that the thigh's dont fit. Whic means I have to go a size larger, which means the waist and inseam doesn't fit. It will drive a man mad. I'm fine with a "athletic" fit. I just need the stretch in the grain and seat.
