Got a couple of rides on my newly laced up Stans ZTR to Hadley.
Losing 200 grams made more of a difference than I would have thought. I actually found the rim to feel pretty damn stiff! While riding and doing the grab rear wheel and seat trick. I also noticed my rear suspension was more active...
Ohhhh man, don't get me started on Giant's geo charts. Never correct and led me into buying a bike too small for me (seat tube 1 inch shorter than claimed, top tube 1/2 inch shorter than claimed). A$$holes. :think:
Company has gotten so damn big, they forgot they sell bicycles. :eek::mad::mad:
I think it might be worth dremeling off the tips of my pins to get more grip in the wet. It's great as is, but if it can get better...:weee:
Are you making any noise on the spindle? Looks like the shoe can easily sit down in there on the new design.
The open ends of the allen grip better than spiky tips. Way better, especially in the wet.
How often do you guys get rain over there in Utah? We have never had luck with spiky tips here in Washington. Even on my gen1 crampons, I can feel a huge difference between the pointed ends of the pins...
Dude, that is frucking scary! :shocked::shocked::popcorn:
I know for a fact that those will snap right at the bridge to the outside part of the spindle. Yikes.
On the note of bearings in pedals. There isn't much to worry about. They are cheap and require less maintenance for the life of the...
Man, that is really lame they took out the center pins. I have had no issues with mine backing out or bending. Glad I got a good set of the earlier version. I can predict a lot of squeaking from the axle on the new one.
I would have thought they would make improvements on the sealing of the...
Yup. For pure DH, DHF 2.5 3C in the front and rear is tops. More grip than the 42a from my experience.
If you have to pedal up, I've found the Kenda Excavator to be a better up and down tire.
That shock linkage looks like it could infringe on the Knolly 4x4 patent. :confused:
So let me get this straight. The linkage allows for the BB and rear wheel to move backwards a good bit, while the BB system keeps it from moving as far back as the rear wheel does. So in essence, they are...
Don't let the few make the rest look bad. There are plenty of groups out there going after more important things.
Just like there are a-hole bikers who make the rest of us look bad.
There is no reasoning with fanatics I guess. :confused:
I wonder how much of the Sierra Club's operations...
I learned something from a couple years ago that silence from him means 100% confirmation. Seriously.
It was pretty obvious DW was going to Turner when neither him nor DT denied it or even replied to any question about it.
By the way. Have you guys seen the new berm and "wallride" at Colonnade?
Mike Kevin and I built a new section after the stepup box. I wanted to build the tightest most G-forciest berm out there that is still rideable. My suspension maxes out pretty quick bombing it into there.
I mention...
We could possibly just move the NE trail one way signs to just past the Toilet Bowl entrance.
I was originally thinking the riders coming up Big Tree and NE would ride it once or twice. It was not intended to be a resort destination, that it has turned out to be. People are looking for the...
Mountain bike trails block wildlife?
I guess no one has ever been to Whistler to actually asses what the trails do?
Black bears humping 10 feet off the trail without a worry in the world about the guy hucking an 8 footer next to them. :D:thumb:
Nature is obviously more resilient than...
