Hot topic!

I bought one specifically to use on the moto trails around here and still use my pedal bike 9/10 times.... but do realize I am not the norm.

Personally I think its an education...

The compression nut bottoms out on those. Have you removed and reinstalled it or did it just develop a leak after the first install? Since the nut bottoms out you cant just make it tighter to...

Man if I picked you there was a good chance you were crashing.

High pivots with chain issues??? or was it all bikes..

How far below the edge of the stem is the steerer? You are looking for 2-3mm, more than that and the upper pinch bolt may not function properly.

It looks like you are using a high headset cover, I...

Man, I wimped out on taking some riskier picks and should have gone for it.

Too bad for Loic.

She does realize that 26 and 27.5 are closer in size than 27.5 and 29 right? I am not sure the benefit will great than the hassle of 26".

A spacer kit and and a re-dish on a used wheel is likely...

Way too much time in between events but stoked its back.

Any update on this bear attack?

You can thread them either way. I have never completed the install but have done it while staring blankly into space.



Sram deleted the bleeding edge off of the R's, a true shame. The squishy...

Agreed this is the part that you embrace the suck... which is seems like you are doing

Swansea is pretty fun, There is also the XC stuff on the way to Pano to make it a weekend. I wouldn't say either is the best BC has to offer but it is a rain/snow shadow and hoodoos look cool.

Just remember there is a reason most people pay others to do things.

Its not that you cant do it, its just that you suck at it.

Embrace the suck.

Interesting, I would say that is one of the main arguments to go coil.

29" or 27.5". I may be able to help depending on the answer.

The melt has been super slow on the Montana side as well. I've almost gone skiing instead of biking...

The wheels have a formula hub, I will likely swap them out to something nicer at some point but I know a lot of people with a lot of abuse on them. I did warranty a fair bit when running a...

Some Peacemakers

I also just went through this and figured I would chime in on the Kenevo. I wanted to buy from my friends shop so it was basically Specialized or Devinci in my price range. The Devinci wasnt gonna...

I dunno, I am all those things to a T and don't really care about weight on a trail bike but I do agree its a shame to publish weights that are that far off.

Things are looking up.

That odometer reading was from 07/31/2014. We need the full story here.

Man I really want some R99's but really dont need a pair of skis in this category.

Never weighing your bike is the key to happiness in the modern trail bike world.

Why do people with used Trust forks still think they are worth $800-1000?

You can literally find any other fork used for less.

It was a hard drop by FedEx.

The Hoover press-n-snap tool is the unit that SVST sells. The rivets are Semi-Tubular Rivets. They work great, I liked using them for a clean booster strap install… hard to warrant the...

Good on you for taking control. Good luck on your journey!

The uphill nerds like grips from top to the baskets these days. Maybe wrap them up with tape and show a finished weight on the scale?

Florida? I hope she’s hot…

Yeah bud, I should just give you list 😂

I have an extra Micro Spline ( 12 speed Shimano) I would let go for for $110 shipped if anyone needs one of them.

I'm not sure why my brain didn't go to shimming. I am sure its obvious but measuring off the end of the hub to the cassette is a good place to start since the cog spacing is standard.

There is always the new bike approach instead.

Unless the hubs are identical there will always be some tinkering.

A fair point that its a pricey post that you shelled out the cash for then got mediocre support on but replacement isn't really that normal for anybody unless its a disposable post. I know this...

I don't think there are any rear hubs that are lighter than the DT's

This, droppers break, all they owe you is a repair don't be a dick.

Edit: What size are you, I have a couple spares I could borrow if needed.

Pretty stoked to give these a go.

Anybody catch the end of the Twins game? Crazy way to walk off, worth a highlight watch.

Hub engagement, I kinda feel like it doesn't really matter on the Ebike. Thoughts?

I’m a big fan of the Eliminators, great combination of rolling speed and cornering traction. The 2.6 is like a maxxis 2.4/5, I’ll run a 2.6 front and rear.

Light bikes even with dialed geo get bounced off line and can feel squirrely. Being too big shouldn't have made it squirrely.

Gorilla Tape. It sounds stupid but the residue sticks to the tape and you can pull it off. Still tedious as fuck.

I don't know shit about drums but this is one of those threads that's useless without pics. Show us what you got old man!

This is a feature of Shimano Brakes. It depends on what you have in your bleed kit but cycling the fluid back and forth then trying to get a slight vacuum at the caliper can help. In the end my first...

I ran a pair for a bit, they required a rebuild in short order but seemed to take the hits. Ultimately the inner bearing would interfere with my shoe sometimes and I needed to rebuild them too much....

I went full dark lord on this one… friends own a spec shop.

First ride on it was pretty awesome. I went out to our moto legal stuff that has too much snow on it for a pedal ride and was...

it looked like it got bumped by a bot first.

I've never had very good luck with pedals that rely on a large inboard bearing. DMR vaults is where I settled.
