related to the dhx release... I want to give a shoutout to the new 3c maxx terra that maxxis released. I just tried it for the first time on a 2.5 dh dhr2 as a rear tire and the longevity/wear is significantly improved. Previously, this same tire as a rear would be looking pretty shot after 5-6 full park days...
I wonder how this 2x120 tpi casing feels compared to double down. I feel like double down dampens sharp hits to the bike slightly but doesn't provide much if any additional sidewall support in the most extreme situations then exo+ does. That being said, DD's definitely feel more compliant and conform to things like roots better then the previous 2x60...
I'm buying what you are selling. Del Boca Vista is best green run ever, Duffman is really fun, TOTW when done right is totally worth it, and the valley trails are amazing. I always have to push friends to try and ride those as all they want to do is ride the park or Blackcomb stuff like MC. This reminds me I need to get back up there to ride again.

Haha definitely some interesting takes and some spot on takes! Spending time up here right now. I can see where you are coming from with most of these

Siiiiiiiick! TotW is a literal life goal. I'm not sure I'll be able to make it work out but I appreciate the info about it. Thanks for documenting and writing about the whole thing!

I like that WTB rim tape solution. I have in the past used the zipp 3zero moto and zipp xplor rim strips to do this, mostly because they were sitting around. I'm not a huge fan of those tbh as they are pretty rigid plastic and hard to get to sit flat and not impact the sealing of the rim...
I got a chance to ride the new trp dhr evo pro's on a rental tr11 this last week in the bike park. I had a set of the original DHR Evos and like many things about them that most people mention: light lever action, appearance, overall power and modulation, but struggled with them overall. I tried all manners of...

I find 35nm for the transmission derailleur bolt insufficient and will loosen over time fwiw. Not quite as big of a deal with the UDH hanger, but still I think 40-42nm is more appropriate.

Yes this can happen. You can end up in a point of no return with both the Axle and the UDH bolt/Transmission hanger where they are locked together. You definitely have the axle 1 full turn loose prior to snugging udh/derailleur bolt, if one of them is already tight, and then you torque the other, an angle grinder and drill...

I’m thinking about starting a new poll thread. It will be called “would you rather” The options will be: Would you rather take the time to actually read and learn about “ecvt’s” in regards to bikes? Orrrrrrrr…. Would you rather smash up an incandescent light bulb and smash the shards into your eyeballs? This thread is getting exhausting with gearbox nerds.

Not rumor or top secret tech (or is it?!), but all this SS talk got me excited... Fellow Luddites rejoice. $5 in hardware and proper reuse of a destroyed derailleur: Keeping it about tech, though, this little contraption really made me want to try the Lal Supre Drive. I hope the Supre Drive or similar concept shows back up in the future.

That’s pretty stupid thing to post. I bet a lot of people here have a lot of information on hundreds of bikes that are under embargo, but we’re not dickhead so we don’t just go leaking stuff. This is for people to find stuff out in the wild and post it like if a website messes up by posting a bike early or somebody sees something in the wild or spy shots or whatever not just straight up leaking stuff from your bikeshops account

We’ve had several cassettes be issues. One was my personal bike, drove myself crazy following and re-following the setup procedure. I swapped for a different cassette off one of our rentals and the issue with the 3rd cog resolved with no adjustment and the issue started on the rental. SRAM warrantied no questions. New cassette has been trouble free. Customer bikes have had the same deal. I personally prefer 90 over the zert-zert options because tension lets you micro adjust on the fly. In either case since the cassette is the backbone on transmission if the cassette is buggered so...

I have one on my gravel bike which is setup with the ratio mod, it is not a good example of the mtb application for this derailleur as it has the gravel clutch and isn't being driven by a mtb shifter... There is a member of my riding crew, whose bike I end up servicing that has had some struggles...
