This is one of those 'we want a silent bike' Tricks... I always grease the bolt head, I also use a white teflon grease thats really thick on the bearing faces whether or not it uses a big washer/shield or shielded bolt head - forms a layer around it so no water sneaks past the washer/bolt head It was something i picked up many years ago When DH racing... you can Smash the bike with a pressure washer and it doesnt move that stuff. quiet bike are the best, especially silent hubs, we are adults(mostly) so no need to have...

Can we please keep it to " MTB Tech Rumors and Innovation" please

his video was very good, it calmed me down ; ).. Now I need one from Keith @ Banshee stating all is fine

STFU guides. They actually work. They also help with the mythical pedal kickback. External cables with proper guides/clamps. Lastly a silent rear hub. But none of it really matters when you ride solo with earbuds in 90% of the time.

Is this the linkage end?

Ahh the good old days of Slow Reezay and Super Tacky...

Tech Rumors and Innovation For rumors of tech. No one cares what chain stays you prefer take it somewhere else.

we have an "off the bike" forum area if everyone wants to go deeper w/ broader, non-bike topics https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/VitalMTB/Off-the-Bike,3

Brand X Ascend was so good they even named a new company after it - This is run by ex CRC staff. https://ascendcomponents.com/collections/dropper-posts

That's exactly what happens - this was the first time they used a bumper stop instead of an o-ring in shocks like this, but I'm not sure if that still excuses them? Apparently I only did the video as a story so just added it to reels - https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHPsZ1xzBsg/?igsh=MTU4cWdicTQ3cHFrbw==

2 years ago some eagle eyed super nibblers on here spotted an ochain on saint cranks at a DH world cup,,,,, I figured enough time has passed that i can disclose how it happened. Am sure someone will be interested. https://www.mtbr.com/threads/modifying-saint-cranks.1237732/#replies

Can we stop with the pipe dreaming, people would be more likely to glue their head to the table than properly use industrial adhesives in a frame jig. Most people struggle with IKEA,

went to check in w/ Chris Canfield at Vampire last week. super interesting stuff. showed his steel and new titanium bike and discussed it all. detail pics here https://www.vitalmtb.com/features/vampire-bikes-basement-chris-canfield

Reading the news about Ari opening up a "satellite" location today:

Hoping @CascadeComponents can chime in on what they think @CascadeComponents are up to...
