About Me

I didn't so much as touch a bike for almost ten years when I found myself looking for an outlet when the snowboard season was over... then I found mountain biking! There's no looking back now!!!

Sick ride! I love seeing that other people are still shredding this bike! I love mine and will be smashing bike park laps on it for years to come.

As a follow up, here's what the 303rdh ended up as. This is Aaron Gwins 2009 World Champs frame that I recently acquired.

Another cheap upgrade for brakes along with pads is to go with bigger rotors but given you have 203/180 rotors I would just stick with those as long as they aren't resin only. Outstanding questions: 1. You are going to have to upgrade your freehub to microspline so you may want to wait till you get new wheels to change...

Personally I've gone back and forth with Shimano and Sram brakes over the years, I even did the lever upgrade mentioned above with the MT420 calipers, and I now swear by TRP brakes. TRP Quadiems can be found for $150 per end and in my opinion are the best bang for you buck brake out there, I run them on...

get a xt shifter so you have the better performance, keep the derailleur. if you want the servo wave levers, just upgrad to deore ones, keep the caliper. ride the cassette till worn. use saved money to buy better suspension. profit.

What do you want to accomplish with your upgrades? What notable differences in the way the bike rides are you hoping to distinguish from the components you have now? From looking at the components on your bike and what you are looking to upgrade to, it seems like you are just spending money to say you have nicer, more upscale, expensive components. Here is a good article breaking down some of the difference in Shimano groupsets and the actual difference in feel, which is almost indistinguishable. https://nsmb.com/articles/xtr-vs-deore-can-you-tell-difference/ Some of the most worthy upgrades to make to a bike that will...

TheSuspensionLabNZ Liked a reply to forum topic Crank length/bb height . Is shorter/lower the future?

5/3/2023 10:13pm

I'm preferring shorter cranks - but independent of BB height. The BB doesn't need to be crazy low, and it depends on the rest of the proportions but I think a lot of the reasons people wanted low BB's is from when bikes were super short and they would feel tippy otherwise.

5/3/2023 6:03pm

I've found that I prefer a higher BB than what is fashionable after a couple scary rock strike while descending. I also find that I prefer cornering with the higher BB and don't notice a downside while riding. I prefer to mullet my bikes by going with a bigger front tire rather than switching to a smaller rear. That said...

I've got to say I've always expected a new Code caliper to pop up that does the same thing as ours. Hasn't happened yet. Kind of funny considering it's specifically designed to work with Sram parts you can find in bike shops. Whatever this new Sram brake is will determine the future of our Code caliper. I think the upper limit on brake power will be set by what is a reasonable amount of pad retract. I can't foresee people being okay with pad rub all the time so I don't think pad retract can get much less that what...

Oh, talking about sponsorship and partners, how quick we forget about UCI and Rocky Roads... We talk about the goddamn helmet sponsor of a rider, the associated morality issues and the ”impact” it could have upon the pure souls of the mountainbking population, but I haven't ever seen an explanation regarding that particular issue. Have you? :D UCI, meow?! Mx

Is there porn on OnlyFans? Duh... does that make it a "porn website"? No... There are plenty of people on there that don't even show nudity let alone porn. It's essentially just Patreon but with content. You can show nudity and porn on Instagram, is that a porn website too?
