Grave Added a reply to Help a clip pedal noob pick out the right clip pedals
3 hours ago I like the movement Shimano spd's have. I feel like without the float it would be too easy to accidentally unclip. That said, the ease of unclipping is what sold me on spd's. I looped out doing a wheelie the first day and landed on my feet without thinking about it. Or if the back end steps out and you...

7/16/2026 5:39pm Same as a car tire, which shouldn't be surprising coming from them. I don't have that on Maxxis, Schwalbe, or Specialized tires.

7/16/2026 10:52am Do bike tires have date codes like car tires? I never noticed before, if so.

7/9/2026 12:57pm That's mx I thought, maybe that's what you're implying with the emote. I did forget about the (v4 maybe) 5010. That would be more comparable to the Pivot and Yeti. I wonder how similar the suspension feel would be between those three bikes.

7/9/2026 12:52pm You're not wrong, but this isn't about the best value overall. Just a good deal for boutique brands. Base parts on a boutique frames is kind of funny, but at the same time it's modern base parts that are pretty good in the grand scheme of things. Also, no batteries.

7/9/2026 9:50am I know only heathens ride these, but are they the best full 27.5 trail bikes ever made? Pivot Shadowcat $100 less the frame only https://www.pivotcycles.com/en-us/products/shadowcat-brunch-ride?Size=L… Yeti SB135 $500 less than frame only https://yeticycles.com/en-us/bikes/sb135/kits

Grave Started a new thread Vital 'Going Downhill Fast' T-shirt
7/24/2025 8:57am Anyone know what brand this shirt is? It was in the gear club a few years ago. It is the most comfortable polyester shirt I've had and would like to get more.

6/18/2024 8:56am It looks like they dropped the low end carbon models. The lowest price is 5000 now. A little over 28 pounds for a medium frame seems pretty good though.

Grave Added a reply to Arm pump/hand pain solutions thread
5/30/2024 10:11am Arm pump and hand pain (claw hand I've heard it called) are different correct? I assume so, but I'm in Illinois so neither are common. I've only had hand pain once at a bike park in Idaho.

5/29/2024 9:35am I used just the aluminum part of this on a 2017 Jeffsy. https://www.specialized.com/us/en/roll-cage/p/155437?color=229513-15543… That area of the frame looks really similar on the current Jeffsy and Capra, but I haven't seem them in person. I put mastic tape on the frame and the bottom of the bottle sit on the frame. I couldn't fit a full size bottle, but something...
