Maybe because I'm not in North America, but don't you guys have climbing trails separate for descending trails? It's been the standard in Australia for a long time now, any proper sanctioned zone has uphill downhill trails separate, only traversing trails are multi direction and they generally have great site lines, or tight turns to limit speed for safety.

Alright everybody, not trying to be some self righteous guy but I figured this advice could help. Here’s my lessons, after getting it pretty much dialed after thinking I completely fucked the dog. -make sure you follow the video step for step (as other smart people mentioned above) I basically skimmed it and thought it would be fine, it was not. Follow the video exactly. -definitely check the chain length on the app. I’m running 2 links short, and it was just dumb luck, u coulda cut it shorter on accident I just got lucky. I’m too used to winging...

TRP DHR evo lever / Maven Base update. I set these up with maxima mineral oil and Shimano BH90 hose, and just a simple Shimano style bleed cup bleed after pushing oil through the lines. I also did a comprehensive piston massage procedure. I did one shuttle day on the setup, and impressions are that this combination is quite good. The lever stroke is very acceptable, bite point feels well defined and does not wander or pump out at all, and the maven power is also there. Good modulation, as you would expect from TRP lever. I've got the stock...

I very much doubt it has anything to do with the mineral oil choice. I have a set of MT5s (with SLX levers) on my wife's bike that is filled with Shimano mineral oil since 2023. And I just checked the callipers - no leaks.

I'm a little late to the thread but it has been a hell of a time getting this off the ground. More to follow as we are expecting to do a soft launch on April 1 showing the goods off on the socials. We will have bikes on the ground at Sea Otter in a few booths and being raced. The hard launch and press release will go out after Sea Otter so we don't get to lost in the din.

Nowadays ski area general liability insurance is by no means a "one stop shop". They'll look at things like skier visits, claims history, terrain profile and what activities they offer outside of skiing. Hardly a flat underwriting process like yesteryear. Bike parks 100% drive an increase in premiums, and from what I understand, the increase is in proportion to the size of the park (so you build more, you pay more) and just like skiing, number of visits/injuries etc. BTW - Thanks to everyone for checking out my monster Vail post. I know its a touch tangential to bikes, hence...

I'm here to nerd out on brakes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

dude, go outside and ride your bike!

So, the current Maven now has the same size pistons as the Maven Base. The new SwingLink requires less force to actuate the lever, but in return leads to more throw in the lever. By default the BRZ/BSE levers have the contact point setting effectively set at the tightest/least lever throw setting as I assume Sram doesn't intentionally leave the primary seal far away from the reservoir port. The contact point adjuster on the SLV/ULT levers just enables you to adjust the lever for more throw as you can't have the primary seal go over the reservoir port as it...

Location matters. I have an xc hardtail in the midwest at my MIL's house... that bike has a 170mm dropper and it is more then enough. Out west where I live, I do not ride anything less then 210mm drop because it makes a difference. The riding is completely different however... one is gaining and losing elevation at 20-50-100' at a time, and the other is climbing for 1-2 hours straight and descending for 10-15 minutes straight down the steepest terrain possible. Both setups work great for their intended purpose for my 6'3" frame.

Considering it only has a spot for one water bottle it makes total sense for it to have internal storage. I don't do a single ride without 750ml of water in my frame storage. It's literally the ideal spot to add that type of weight for the bike's handling. It's very freeing to do a 3hr ride with no pack. Most other XC/DC bikes have a spot for a 2nd bottle so the weight is already there (in a worse spot) if you're on a big ride. It's wild to me how many people have gaslighted themselves into believing that...
