you don't pedal on descents?Pedal strikes just means that you're pedaling too much and not descending enough.
Not through rox
only in corners.
Or you ride like a man and pedal through rock gardens.Pedal strikes just means that you're pedaling too much and not descending enough.
Counter steering. Most think it only works to initiate a turn, but it actually works better in a turn, because sinusoids, eigenvalues, routh-hurwitz theorem and shit.
I wasn't talking about counter steering.

You've tried this argument before.
Maybe Banshee puts Axxios AXS viscoelastic tape in the frame? Not a lot, just a small square piece... I think the performance increase is inversely proportional to how much you use.

just sold my Spitfire (sad day, for sure), but coming out of PNW winter/spring was running a Shorty up front and WTB Vigilante out back. Would have preferred something with a thicker casing out back, but the combo worked pretty well. For warm/dry/loose, I like Minions on both ends. Not much hardpack where I ride, but would do a faster rolling rear tire if there was.
I'm on this as well. Though maybe mine are 2.35.
Now that's a right proper color for a mountain bike.here she is partially built up. im going to finish it tomorrow at my parents house so i have the space of the garage(i live in an apartment unfortunately). i have some brake swapping to do between the bikes, may bleed the brakes with my preferred fluid, so i need to have some room to work. i'll be ordering some upgrade parts over the next few weeks. wheels and tires will be coming soon though,
Indeed, like Henry said, you can have it in any color you want, as long as its black. Here's the whole new stable, time to scratch them both up.
Maxxis advantage 2.4 front, some intense semi slick in the back, around 2.3.
No man, I'm pretty bummed. I noticed as I was building it up that there was a small dent on the right side of the top tube. Virtually unnoticeable in the spot that it is, its halfway on the glossy part of the graphics and halfway on the matte, and its on the part that tapers. so the way the light plays off everything, it's not noticeable really. However, I bought this bike brand new from a shop, with a warranty and everything. Only the second bike I've ever bought new, and the first I bought almost 10 years ago now. I would prefer, that any dent or scratch the frame gets, be from me. I already contacted Banshee, it doesn't appear that they will replace it under warranty, they think it is a shipping issue. Which talking to the seller, and seeing the pictures before, I do believe it happened in shipping as well. I am just waiting on emails to see whether I should ride it or not, but I honestly don't think I'll get a replacement triangle. Seeing as Banshee thinks it happened during shipping, FedEx is going to have to buy me a replacement. And that sounds like its going to be a nightmare to get them to do that. So i'll probably stick with this one. You guys tell me what you think, i'll post a picture of the dent making it as visible as possible...worth trying to get a replacement triangle? Or ride this one?So!? Did you ride this thing or what!?
@UdiSo!? Did you ride this thing or what!?
Okay I will give them a call Monday. Do you have any experience with something like this? Like will it take some time for them to make a decision? And lets assume they will replace it, I don't imagine it to be a very quick process. I just want to know if I can ride it while they make a decision, or if i need to keep it in the condition that it arrived in
No solid experience - but I do know the official line is often that you're supposed to inspect the item at point of delivery and inform the delivery person if there is a problem. Read the fine print on the website for the exact shipping product you used, and take note of insurance details - the amount insurable (if any, if included, if purchased) and the requirements for making a claim. There may be some flexibility but if you don't know where you stand legally, you won't be in a good position to make a claim - you need to know what you're entitled to by law, and what you can ask for politely from a goodwill perspective. These are two very different things.
Well the bike was delivered to the wrong address, I found it on a different floor in the same building. So i was not there to inspect with the driver next to me. I even made sure I didn't leave all day long, only to get a delivery notification and no sign of the bike. It was probably outside for over 2 hours before I found it. And there was a big puncture hole in the box, I notifiied the seller of it. Before I noticed the frame was damaged even. I am just going to ride it how it is, and go through the necessary means I need to get it replaced. I have documentation of the frame the way i received it, FedEx was made aware it was misdelivered, the seller was notified of box damage. I have pictures of the box. I can't wait for them to replace it before i ride it, that could easily be weeks, if not months. If I screw myself by riding it then so be it, i already said I'm not too entirely miffed about it, and the frame will probably see some dents over its life anyway. Kind of like taking a brand new helmet and scratching it up I guess
