I was going to ask what the one level above is for your DH bike then I remembered no one here rides actual DH anymore.
Phew...

Yup same but with carbon, could only find one that was close to what I wanted, rolled forward a touch it gave me the magic 5back 5up.I like <brand name> metal bars in the width, sweep, and rise that fits me, and the bore that fits my stem.
Mavic hubs have a self destruction mode embedded in them. It's just not thoroughly documented. A change in ownership usually triggers it.Lent my 276 Pitch to the 12yr old son of a friend 10 days ago. Yesterday my friend called and told me he has to show me something...

That's a Crossmax SX rear wheel. There was a 160 mm rotor attached to it and a BR-M785 XT eas doing stopping duties.
I rode this bike and the wheel a LOT. Mostly with a Tout Terrain single trailer in the last couple of years. I think I'm weighing like 25 kg more than the boy plus 12 kg for the trailer and ~12 kg for either of my kids that sat in there.
I have no funking idea how he has done this. He is not overly fast nor jumping as big as jumps as I do and allegedly didn't even crash when the destruction hit.
Maybe a stick or stone got stuck in the disc and stopping it dead when hitting the frame? I had this once, frame got a scratch, hub was fine but rotor taco'd.Lent my 276 Pitch to the 12yr old son of a friend 10 days ago. Yesterday my friend called and told me he has to show me something...

I had 2 rotor holes pop on a deemax hub back in the day...less than half material was gone so I red loctited the 2 bolts in what was left of rotor and rest blue...rode it that way for a long time...Lent my 276 Pitch to the 12yr old son of a friend 10 days ago.

Yeah, this thought came to my mind as well. Will have to check the frame for hints of it.Maybe a stick or stone got stuck in the disc and stopping it dead when hitting the frame? I had this once, frame got a scratch, hub was fine but rotor taco'd.
Alternatively, he must have landed with the rear brake fully locked up.
Maybe, but I checked em before handing out the bike with my torque wrench. I'm anal on my uggaduggas when giving things to other people.IME, brake rotor bolts can and do loosen up and need to be occasionally checked.
I had an old Hope hub split at a couple of the disc bolt threads due to corrosion and metal fatigue.I rode this bike and the wheel a LOT.

Would you call a 2008 hub old?I had an old Hope hub split at a couple of the disc bolt threads due to corrosion and metal fatigue.
Was your hub quite old aswell?
Sunk cost?Blew out the master cylinder/reservoir on my right hand XTR brake.
not rebuildable, so found a $99.00 brand new replacement on eBay...
Ok, got new damper body and got it bled. Much faster on compression/rebound. This is good.So I'm revalving the Super Deluxe. Got everything out, got the piston taken apart, got the piston put back together exactly how I want, start the bleeding process.
Process is to fill the damper body, then insert piston and screw together, then turn upside down and start working air bubbles out of the reservior through the IFP bleed screw. All fine, working good. Next stem is to top off the reservior and then open the shock body bleed screw and compress the shock to get fluid coming out so all the air is purged. Except, shock body bleed screw won't budge and strips out. It looked like a torx and I was using a torq like the other fittings used, but for some reason it just straight up stripped and no amount of jamming stuff in there would get it to turn.
So a new F-ing damper body later...found what I think will work, it's supposedly a 65mm plus a 5mm spacer if I want to take it down to 60mm for some reason (like for a GG Smash).
I could easy-out the screw and probably use one from my old monarch, but I'm not that desperate.
You should give S and I a tour of Deer Creek at some point as we've never ridden it.Busted-ass wheel repaired. New derailleur installed. Goddam the bike shifts like a dream... on the stand.
Guess I should take it out and get it muddy.

My seatstay. Just a bit of de-lam on the corner.
Will be testing my crabon repair method this weekend and hopefully a full repair next week.View attachment 161813
I just rode into something yesterday and did an excellent Superman.JRIAR
Just rode into a rock
If you suspect the integrity of your carbon repair, just remember you can use moar carbon.My seatstay. Just a bit of de-lam on the corner.

Ain't you kinda old for those sorts of shenanigans?I just rode into something yesterday and did an excellent Superman.
Nope.Ain't you kinda old for those sorts of shenanigans?
If it was a Hadley I'd be happy to buy it as a used hub.Would you call a 2008 hub old?
Figured I needed a toe nail to copy my fingernail..just grew that toe nail back...
Cased a jump and rock pile slammed right foot into rock and under pedal..
Put metal through finger nail and ripped it on bike later...

yo you're in socal, right? ever run into my buddy tim schramm? big dude, used to ride a bunch a few years back before he effed himself up skiing. i think he's in the orange county area...Nailed it!!!!
Forgot how bad rolling a toe under a pedal impact feels...lmao...man it has a blunt pain when it happens....
2 times before 1 was at a DH race on course and time before was brundige we were getting after it in the rocks and happened so fast it broke big toe but kept pace through rocks...
Kept shoe on kept riding as soon as I stopped for day and took shoe off it plumped up and shoe had to stay off...
