I am not petty at all.
I was just trying to be inclusive
I just got a set of them in MX / DT 350. They only weigh 58 (f) + 29 (r) = 87g more than my WAO Unions (also MX) with Hydras. Same no bullshit warranty, but half the price. Given that I've managed to break 2 WAO rims (older rear Agent, front Union), I view the Reserve warranty as kind of a challenge to my questionable line choices and tire pressures.
To ride road bikes offroad is pretty fun actually, and away from traffic, safer.
Its a marketing problem really, they are bikes to go out and just frikin ride, mean to go places, putting clever names on them is bullshit
did you get these yet? I’m switching my trail pistol from x01 to XT and I’d like to do this right out of the gate.
Yeah, got it a week ago. Popped one on the commuter. Instructions entirely in Cantonese or the like but I figured out which way was up. Seems to work. Yes, I lost the plastic part of the barrel adjuster while doing this. Whoops
That cable housing though..
The white plastic part could probably be wrangled into the hole on an unthreaded derailleur.
Got eaten in the cassette before. Would have replaced it but internally routed so didn’t feel like fishing it. I did pop in a new Optislick cable at least.That cable housing though..
Yeah, the OG one is better. But also not available for years.
Went out to the shed to install some new 165 cranks, as is the fashion. Found out I ordered the wrong length crank spindle, was a bit frustrated. (Sad trombone)
Then when shopping for a correct crankset, I found out that Race Face spindles were interchangeable.
Fucking stoked!

been running a 90s crud (hog?) for a few years due to crap routing on tr11 with Saint.
works excellent

That thing must work fucking awesome since there's no cable on that derailleur any more!
Some super thick grease… normally there’s a cable. That’s the issue, if your cable snaps normally the thing disappears forever.
There's so much wrong with that Saint derailleur' cable routing surely it has to be ironic parody?
Excessive friction in the final cableoop into any shimano rear mech from the last 15yrs shouldn't really be an issue if you simply replace it once in a while and continue using good quality shimano cable outer with the correct Ferrules. The correct ferrule should firstly actually fit in the cable stop properly but also have a short extension so the bare inner cable isn't wearing against the aluminium where it leaves the stop. eventually snapping.

Hadn't seen an Urge helmet for yonks but decided to look them up after bullcrew post his broken full face.
Lots of recycling going on, good on them.

I hope MDE is doing well.
Good geo, 650b or 29er, option to run your old 142mm hub, loads of no cost paint otions, decent price, they are made in house and custom geo is only 200 Euro.
The cable hole in the headtube can get fucked though.

This checks out, I was on a notoriously roadie page and one of the comments was "Mtb people aren't real cyclists imo".
Downhill Southeast coverage is actually good for local racing. https://www.vitalmtb.com/videos/features/vital-raw-results-and-replay-downhill-southeast-ttc
They used to have a smililar feel (before Windrock turned into a legit bike park), I would say that TTC is actually a little steeper with lots of tech.

Sorry but this is great. I don't know why or how this is different than the last red white and blue version of the same frame, but 1200 for a nice steel frame with geometry that isn't solely intended for racing DH is pretty cool.
68,5°, that’s a gravel bike!

I always thought the cranks on my skatepark BMX bike felt really long (175), but upon checking I was surprise to see they're 170. A look on Dan's Comp shows the street BMX world offers cranks in every possible length so I have 160s on the way. I'm curious to see if they feel shorter than the 165s I've had on every DH bike.
