I've got the Hookworms. Wish I would have tried these instead as the hookworms lower the bike to the point where I scrape the pedal on leans sometimes.
I've gotten used to it but these seem to look better. We will see how it goes. once I get a flat, I will switch to these.
Does the ride...
I told them to go to 30PSI. I did notice a little sag in the rear tire and I'm not all that heavy so we will see how I like it, may go up one or two. But they did warn me that it may come off the rim if it goes much higher.
Got my hookworms on. Took them for a short test ride after changing diameter to 24.
I like the quiet ride and smoothness. I like there is no mount double or triple bounce in the back anymore. Used to hit curbs or bumps and get that bouncing feeling on the old tires.
Two things I don't...
Yeah, it doesn't take much and you don't have to touch the grease except when it needs more, even so, can use a cue tip, clean it out every couple weeks to avoid dirt but if its closed, no dirt. Don't put so much on that it oozes out the sides and is on the outside. Dielectric grease is...
I was advised to use dielectric grease on the port cover. I did this on both our chargers and slipped right in with little effort.
The grease is for electrical connections to keep them from corroding. I read it is mostly for high pressure electrical connections but people seem to be having...
I have the hookworms ready to be put on with the DH tubes. I do ride on some gravel, but not much, do you think there will be any issues with dirt roads gravel? I won't be doing anything extreme, more straight away on gravel/hard pack.
I want on two of these badly. I can't stand the port covers, they annoy me every day when I try to put them back in. Seriously frustrating and the design is awful. The rubber is so soft that is just creases and i can see the edges bulge out when I try to get them in.
Problem is, does it void...
It seems like the Vis 180 is meant to be mounted vertically vs horizontally due to the side lights... I was thinking more of a horizontal mounted LED... but I see yours is mounted horizontally, does it have light all the way left to right or just one on one of the sides?
