people are saying there should be a lighter Totem.my 36 has finally succumbed to such fuckery.
Super short ride today. It's super hot here and the girlfriend was getting swarmed by biting flies, do we b-lined it back to the car.
But of course I had to go back and hit this big slab. It looks so small in the picture haha. There is another section above this is much more technical. Mind that wheel snagging root at the bottom...

Yeah, on a crazy popular trail with hikers going up and down constantly. Glad they looked all dumbass in the picture, because it's a dumbass place to be.
I really loved my Lyrik on my Nomad...Maybe I just got lucky, but that thing was faultless in the 2 or so years I rode it.my 36 has finally succumbed to such fuckery.
Fortunately I'm still covered under warranty for this 36, but to have bushings go twice in 6 months seems above and beyond the "standard" fuckery that is a creaky CSU.
Meh. First world problems... My neighbour has a new 38 and it started creaking 3 rides in. He has chosen to just ignore it.
Can you feel the CSU creaking?
My DVO has been making noise...or it's the headset bearings. Ugh, can't tell.
i can't feel any appreciable difference but it makes a creak/crack noise either coming down from a manual or on square edge hits. your basic standard fuckery.
I guess I am lucky. 3 years on my 36 and it has been fine, other than having a cubic mile of grease in it. Seals do need replacing again.
Nope, it's just a click. I've re-greased the headset to the point where I ruled that out.
I CAN feel the loose bushings. Feels like a loose front axle... Pretty annoying when you leave the ground and feel the front end vibrating.
Cool Rocks thank.Super short ride today. It's super hot here and the girlfriend was getting swarmed by biting flies, do we b-lined it back to the car.

Check for a crack in your Hub also. Could be something simple like a cracked spoke hole on the flange. The untensioned spoke could be vibrating instead.
I’ve clearly missed a post somewhere...
Oh, I’ve fully fondled and jiggled everything to hopefully rule out fuckery. No luckery.
Maybe the bike is feeling unloved and is making noises so you will fondle it. Perhaps buy it some flowers or a shiny new stem cap.
The locusts have arrived so I pretty much quit mountainbiking again

I dare say I find myself a bit jealous. I think I'd enjoy dirt bikes, but there are not enough places around here to justify owning one.
Just buy a house somewhere else
That's a little 125 2 stroke and I can ride it almost as fast downhill as I can a mountainbike on most singletrack. And now uphill and flat zones are also a world cup dh. I'm a fan. Plus I can just pick it up and move it. I waited till I was old and had a proper amount of fear and respect before going down that road. Glad I did though. Having a blast.
Nice mountain scooter!Just buy a house somewhere else

Better than the KTM? You must be a clutch feathering master riding a 125 in the mountains! I loved the 200exc I had.
My wife and I also waited until later in life to start riding enduro.
@Adventurous Feed the curiosity!
Light years better than the KTM handling-wise. That's a 125x and I have zero desire to even touch the suspension. Absolutely love it. No KTM xplor or AER I've ever ridden comes close.
And with what I've done to the carb is actually stronger than the 150/144. Look up "stic metering block". That thing is freakin insane. It's like a turbo that builds on itself. It's a high elevation little bike saver IMO. It's weird. People ride it and swear I'm lying about it being a 125
. Before putting that thing on I was always on the clutch hard. Now I usually end up a gear higher than a I think I'm in.I just ride the same things I like to ride mountainbikes on. Fast rowdy trails. Just a lot more opened up when sustained descents aren't needed for a good time.
The 2 stroke laws here change this year so I actually sold a bunch of bike and sled stuff to go buy a yz250x as well. It's way more torque but not nearly as fun.
Yeah I'm
adventurous: do it

You should consider an e-bike
too broke from buying ditbikes
And you can't huff a battery.
Hilarie and I arrived in Vermont in 1975 with nine motorcycles. I get twitchy every once in a while, but I think I'm done with that phase of my life.
Not gonna lie, the only bone I've ever broken sportsing was a finger, and that was playing flag football.yeah definitely never did any of that with other sports

There's not much of my body I haven't already broken at this point. BMX, skateboarding, snowboarding, skiing, dh, dirtjumping have all been very kind to the orthopedic industryNot gonna lie, the only bone I've ever broken sportsing was a finger, and that was playing flag football.
We had one of those too while hiking in Jackson.What YOU looking at?

don't challenge me
Some good meadow skipping today. Though having the temp in the low 90F range with near matching humidity sucked.
I find nearly as many of these as I do torn off pedal reflectors.
