    I need your opinion on this: Ways You Save Sa

    1. Use 9 speed drive-train. I would never do that but it would save a ton of cash. especially if you are burning up cassettes every 6 months. 2. Buy Continental tires in strange sizes with useless compounds and tread patterned. Again, I would never do that but it saves $ 3. No dropper post. Not...

    Thinking of switching to SRAM drivetrain... cassette questions

    Look, DLC is neither VPP or DW. However, DLC IS particularly suited extremely well for high wear metal surfaces. In time we will have DLC on cassettes, as that really would be a better place then on the chain. "DLC coatings are formed when ionized and decomposed carbon or hydrocarbon species...

    Thinking of switching to SRAM drivetrain... cassette questions

    Diamond Like Coating is not just cleaver marketing lingo, it's a real nanocomposite coating that is very high hardness, low friction, high abrasion resistance. I run through lots of sand, water and clay muck this season and the chain looks brand new. Plus amazon has them like 1/2 off most the...

    Thinking of switching to SRAM drivetrain... cassette questions

    As a long long time Shimano XT/XTR cassette fan, I switched to E-13 9-44 for my new bike. The e-13 is soooooo good. even through muck and sand and clay and water and dust. Pair it with a KMC DLC chain and you are butter

    Foes Mixer Trail, I am building one right now

    Echoing some of my reasons i chose this model. I was having a hard time picking between an Evil Wreckoning, SC Hightower and the foes. In the end I thought the Evil might a little bit to much bike or to DH oriented for my needs. And with SC, people love their hightowers and Bronson's to...

    Foes Mixer Trail, I am building one right now

    Why BOX? I trust them, they did it right. Fit and finish is GREAT. So excited to run it hard. I have spoken with Toby Henderson (of BOX) several times over the years about Bike components in detail, and if anyone could pull this off (a great sram crushing deraileur/shifter) it's him. I am...

    What's the verdict on 27.5"+?

    I test rode an IBIS mojo 3 27.5+ with 2.9" tires. It was fun. I smiled alot. I see the appeal. Turns sand traps into concrete, velcro traction on loose over hard pack. The downside: 1. so much rubber that there are two rebounds, one for the tires, one for the suspension system. It might not be...

    Foes Mixer Trail, I am building one right now

    Been a long long time since I built a new bike up. I choose the Foes Mixer trail for a myriad of reasons, but mostly because I was curious to see how it runs and also because I wanted a USA made Aluminum frame. I need a "do it all bike" For 15-30 mile trail loops, some Socal technical stuff, and...

    Issues with Tire blowing off the rim and sending me to the ER.

    This shit rarely happened when we had real UST rims paired with real UST tires.
