    Big Caliper Little Rotor vs Opposite

    I somewhat agree with you here, which is why I have the Magura MT Trail brakes on my old trail bike. 4 piston front, 2 piston rear (slightly larger pistons than the front), 180mm rotors for both. Ample amounts of braking power for any trail bike situation around here. That said, running 4 piston...

    Banshee Darkside downhill / freeride / bike park bike. Size large frame, raw aluminum and blue color scheme. 27.5 inch wheels. This is a 2015 model year that I bought new in late 2016. It has roughly 200 miles on it. Barely used in the past few years which is why I'm selling. Everything is in...

    Rune V3. The plan is to replace both my V2 Spitfire and Darkside with it. I've ridden the Darkside only once per year for the past 3 years because I'm just not going to bike parks anymore since there aren't any close by and it's too much bike to pedal around otherwise. And I haven't been riding...

    Who makes Hadley Racing Hubs ???

    Ha, same I have about 3000 miles on a set I bought in 2016 and have never touched them. They just work. I recently removed the front endcaps to replace with the boost conversion kit and the bearings are still super smooth. The rear does feel not quite as smooth, so maybe a service is in...

    This is what's right with The Industry®

    Banshee also had a post a few months back where they offered to hook up trail builders, which I took advantage of to add a 3rd Banshee to my current collection. But it will likely replace the other 2 I have. Still, it's another one of the reasons why I've had at least one Banshee bike in my...

    Zillow is lit thread

    Amazing! I was drawn in by the fire pole and rope swing, but it just keeps getting better. Laundry in the middle of the kitchen? Rounded doors like on a ship? A random sink in a bedroom? All tied together with red shag carpeting, including on the walls? IN. No seriously I'd rather live there...

    Examples of bad trail building

    I disagree, that almost never works, and definitely not on cross slope / contour line trails. It might be a good way to identify the best line, but going back and bench cutting is needed if the trail gets any substantial amount of use. I say this as someone who has spent a significant amount of...

    Yep, here's the discussion from the first two pictures to see the builder's response. I thought it was funny.

    Mini computer shit

    Same, I've been using an Intel NUC running Win10 connected to my TV in the living room with a wireless keyboard and mouse since 2015ish and it has generally worked really well. We use it daily for web browsing, streaming Netflix/Hulu, and playing back downloaded content from my NAS and it is on...

    Examples of bad trail building

    Ugh, leaving cut off tree trunks is terrible. If you are going to remove it, dig out the stump so no one notices. Around here we have some random trail users (not affiliated with the local trail orgs) who do shit like that too, ranging from leaving a 3in high stump on the edge of the trail to...

    Frankenbrakes and brake improvement discussion

    I had a simple question that has since turned into something more complex. I have a 2016 DH / park bike that came with Shimano Zee M640 brakes, that suffer from the usual problem of not being ridden enough and constantly contaminating the pads with oil. I am going to sell this bike but want to...

    Trail bike tires.

    I did not like the Aggressor as a rear tire at least for PA trails on my 27.5 bike. The compound is too hard and I had it loose grip twice on smooth hardpack bermed turns that have never been a problem for any other tire I've used. It was one of the few rear tires I have used that I threw away...

    Looks like the 3D view is more recent, but I take it there is a lot more now? Agreed, most modern roofs are either trusses or gluelam beams and any pitch can handle the snow load with proper design.

    Can we have a "It's not all bad news" thread?

    Same. My job title is Principal Engineer, but I'm not making anywhere close to those numbers.

    This is what's wrong with The Industry™

    My story on that combo that relates to this thread is my GF has a 2012 Yeti ASR-5C. The shock to frame mount uses a Ti sex bolt (because Yeti) that fits through raw aluminum spacers in the shock eye plus the carbon frame has small aluminum spacers bonded into it for the bolt. Well it hadn't been...
