Haibike hardseven 1.0

[Grizzly_Dan]

Well Iv decided to pull the trigger and order one, as opposed to DIY kit on my current MTB.

Its hopefully coming in 10days. Is there anything in particular to look out for or I should be doing? Its not my first bike but my first emtb.

I didn't want a full sus as I don't do anything too technical.. yet.. but that may be to come in the future.

i would recommend going tubeless

 

[Grizzly_Dan]

Oh thats happening for sure- what about tyre recommendations? Riding on pathways, roads, mud/gravel tracks

i have a magic mary on the front and hans damp on the rear super gravity addix and have never had a flat in 5 years.

down side is there 1.2kg each.

Magic Mary sw ? sounds like one of your smoke's

it does not matter what it is called it is as good as gold

 

[Grizzly_Dan]

Right, so next question is can I use my current wheel set/tyres or any other bits of my bike, or more importantly is it worth doing so?

Current spec I think maybe worth using-
Rockshox recon rl 130mm recently serviced
Front marin wheel tubeless schwalbe hans dampf
Neuro rear maxxis high roller, XT hubs
Brand x ascend 150mm drop post ( unsure of seat post size on haibike) .

the sg tyres are alot thicker than the normal ones and for dh bikes but going tubeless with what you have wont be a problem.

There pretty cheap atm too, ill add some to the basket.
Just ordered some grips and pedals in lime green.
Eagerly awaiting delivery to give it a go

i use one of these to fit the tyres you can do it with a track or foot pump but can be a pita for a loose fitting tyre.

I got fed up of tyres burping so bought some Tannus armour.
No punctures and no more burping
