ebikepartyshirt Added a reply to Damper products that aren’t suspension
9/2/2025 7:17pm My O chain does not move at all without pulling the chain forward until the hub engages. Immediately, there is enough resistance to pull the chain and engage the hub. After the hub engages, the pedal then travels the full of 12* without pulling the chain. Once you bottom out the 12*, it will the pedal normally, of course. I’m...

9/1/2025 12:45pm The second half of this hits hard. I was a director of our cycling club for years and would build a climb trail that parents would then complain their 7 yo didn’t like to climb. Of course they don’t. Kids hate climbing, quit dragging them around and let them enjoy mtb their way. I’ve also pushed hard to have a...

9/1/2025 9:21am But the gen 6 slash definitely pedals steep and tech like a bike with a short rear end. You very much have to weight the front to not loop out.

8/31/2025 10:20pm 12* 90% of the time. 9* if I’m feeling adventurous. it’s a dt 350 on a xm1700 wheels set. I’d say it’s the 36 tooth by the amount of slop.

8/31/2025 8:41am A random O chain thought: I enjoy my O chain and feel like it works as advertised. However, the resistance of the elastomers is enough to engage my hub (dt350). This gives a tapping feeling before the feeling of bottoming out the elastomer in the free throw of the ochain. It’s a two stage tap which is kind of annoying...

8/25/2025 11:15am Not rude at all. Maybe some could be a touch tighter. I’ve only ridden the wheel a handful of times and none are significantly loose.

8/25/2025 6:33am Round. Super boost if that makes a difference.

8/24/2025 8:23pm As I mentioned above, my sprindex creaked like mad. I put Wax based chain lube all over the sprindex adjuster and the spring collars and it’s been silent for 4 rides.

8/23/2025 7:03am Cleaned with a rag and wax lives. Worked like a charm. Thanks. Also used it on my squeaky sprindex and spring collars. Will just start dunking my whole bike in it at this rate. Also, I had a lower eyelet centre sleeve from a rockshocks in my ext. It rattled. Changed it for a fox one and everything tightened up.

A drop of wax-based chain lube works well, as it dries to a solid and does not attract dirt and grime.

8/21/2025 5:02pm My spokes seem to be creaking quite loudly. I believe it’s where they overlap on each other. Doesn’t happen all the time. Any thing I can do about that?

8/15/2025 11:46am Shimano sales. I definitely wouldn’t expect a 1:1 increase but to say there is not an increase in sales with that many more riders out there is surprising. Anecdotally, I know two Covid-new riders who upgraded their brakes to shimano. But I guess shimano fell way behind on drivetrain hype so they maybe lost oem as well as aftermarket drive...

8/14/2025 5:48am Canada is at pre Covid levels? That feels very hard to believe.

8/8/2025 9:11pm All the concepts are out there but not all of them are put together in a single package. Lots of bikes are very decent but are also not totally dialed. Take for example, the new Fuel. Pretty good looking bike but if you’re a large it has a 75* effective seat tube and I’m pretty sure, super short seat stays...

8/8/2025 11:36am I like the rocker link. It looks industrial. I’m not a fan of colour matched swoopy carbon links. Give me cascades styling any day.

8/6/2025 11:28am Chris did in fact say that you could propel the bike by bouncing. “ If you stand on the bike and bounce, you will be propelled forward. Pedal bob propels you forward.”

8/6/2025 11:27am No, Matt said the Horst link one was better and quieter with the eerie feeling.

8/6/2025 6:18am To be fair, Matt isn’t trying to explain anything. He’s letting the guy say his own piece and he’s not pushing him on it. But he is riding the bike and comment on its characteristics. As you said, he's good at riding bikes.
