At Home: Tubeless Tyre Installation - Powered by @oxprodcycle and @schwalbetires 💥..@oxprodcycle Airtrack TL track pump has a built in chamber that you charge to 200psi and release in one go, blasting the tyre straight onto the rim with no problems of leaking.....even with the valve core installed! This thing is brilliant! Matched with the Oxford MINT sealant the tyre seals in an instant........#athome #mechanic #bikemechanic #mtbreel #tubeless by @d.biketech

Yesterday when @kaliprotectives released the new 'Kru' helmet they single handedly broke the Internet! It's a totally new concept when it comes to bicycle helmets......what do you think?.Over a decade in development, the KRU™ redefines what a full-face trail helmet can be with a revolutionary 360° titanium chin bar that delivers downhill-level protection without sacrificing ventilation or comfort..Distributed by @oxprodcycle.360° Titanium Chin Bar - A continuous titanium structure integrated into the helmet for exceptional strength, ventilation, and protection..ERT Low Density Layer - Absorbs low-g and rotational impact energies..Composite Fusion – Fused shell and EPS construction for a stronger, more durable helmet..Certification – ASTM F1952, CPSC, EN1078......#mechanic #bikemechanic #kali #mtb #helmet by @d.biketech

Off with another cable on my bike and on with the new @magura_bicycle VYRON MDS-V3 Wireless dropper post 💥 So quick and easy to fit, just pop the batteries in and it connects in an instant!.The completely redesigned hydraulic inner design and a particularly fast valve motor enable an optimum oil flow between the hydraulic chambers. The result is lightning-fast dropping of the dropper post when it matters most..The stroke of the VYRON can be changed with little effort by changing the bottom of the immersion tube. From 175 to 150 mm and from 125 to 100 mm. Or vice versa..Fast response time. Without any cables. The latest Bluetooth technology between remote and dropper post enables instant communication and intuitive operating logic.......#magura #bikemechanic #mechanic #mtbreel #bikeshoplife by @d.biketech

"Bigger isn't always better"......for rotors 😅.It's about finding the right size and shape of rotor to fit your needs and the terrain you ride, plus pairing the rotors with an appropriate set of pads..I found that the @magura_bicycle 203mm HC Storm rotors I was using we're making my brakes feel a little too grabby due to their sheer size. So I went a size down, to 180mm, but chose the MDRP for its consistent contact feel. Pairing it with Performance pads i feel gives me the right balance of feel and power for my style of riding.......#magura #bikemechanic #mechaniclife #mechanic #workshop by @d.biketech

2 parts of shock servicing that's incredibly satisfying to do - bushing hardware removal/fitting and opening up the seal head. All made easier with @knipex_uk Plier Wrench's 💪.......#knipex #knipexgang #bikemechanic #mechanic #mechanichack by @d.biketech
