7/10/2024 10:58am Quite often EnduroMTB are the only place that calls out bikes for being rubbish, Pinkbike just goes to bed with all the brands because its purely about bringing in as much $$$$ - look at bike of the year, they were counting their cash before posting the article and thats why it took so long lol. VMTB is a bit...

7/9/2024 2:03am was hoping for cheaper options, like different pads/rotors - I have a few weeks to deal with XT's while I wait for my Mavens but prime riding conditions here at the moment... was considering trying galfer wave 223 rotor with a 200/203 wave rear Maybe have to start pulling harder haha yay for sore hands.

7/9/2024 1:49am Hopefully YT switches to bosch Or could be good option to go DJI. Shimano motor is still behind even with its 'race' updates... It's a shame, The new Merida's ride so well but stuck with shimano so havnt purchased one. Currently on a Reign with the yamaha pwx3 Syncdrive Pro, while it doesnt have the outright top HP the bosch...

7/8/2024 10:35pm Wouldnt be surprised to see 2 different builds of the enduro come, one that can be raced and the other like current model... a smasher.

7/8/2024 10:33pm Shimano XT 4 pots, Galfer Ebike pads, 220 & 203 Shimano rt64 rotors on Full power ebike.. About 100kg on the pedals The ebike pads are a great ALT to the resin... similar power but manage the heat way better. I've been running mavens but One got warrantied, waiting for replacement - they are so damn good but put my...

7/3/2024 5:07pm I use That 3M stuff you find on Gopro's for stick on guides. Works a treat.- just make sure your frame is clean.

7/2/2024 1:00pm If you own an EVO, dont buy the stumpy 15................. The geo is basically the same lol. Leverage update is irrelevant when the cascade link exists.... You cant even run mechanical drivetrains lmao. This update is just a way to combine the stumpy and EVO models together, less SKU like trek.

Like it or not, E bikes are where the bulk of MTB development has been in the last 5ish years and where it will continue to be for a while. The E bike stuff being discussed is more on topic than a lot of the brake feel discussion recently in my opinion.

6/30/2024 1:01pm Believe it or not, i've only ever damaged rims/tyres when running Inserts, I remember a Pro once told me the reason why they don't and they had the same issues i did, i cant remember it word for word so I wont try make a sh1t show of English ha-ha It's quite funny how lots of DH pro's don't use...

6/28/2024 1:43pm Shorty works good for this, Took me awhile to try one as I always assumed more of a wet tyre but its designed for both Deep dust/loam & slightly wet - im using Shorty f/r on my Ebike for the current wet but then dry an dusty conditions we have in NZ at times. Argotal is a good option aswell.

6/25/2024 10:49pm Oneup have a tendency to aim for the majority of riders which has worked for them. They've gone straight for the 'copy and improve' with a hint of Oneups design language - so there will be similar parts to the part they used as a design base. They also tend to test their products quite well and Im happy to...

Speaking of hubs, looks like OneUp entered the chat. Pretty impressive price point too. https://can.oneupcomponents.com/collections/hubs

The stock ones will get you out and riding just fine and for getting into the sport they’ll work great. If you find yourself needing to upgrade, I think a set of Reserve 30 AL wheels would be a great option for a well priced, reliable upgrade. For tires, I think any of the major brands Trail or Enduro casing options would be a noticeable improvement if the stock tires feel a bit sketchy. Either way, the stock setup will get you really far!

If your on a budget dont worry about upgrading anything right away on these 2 bikes. Think of each part having a health bar, vital test rider will rapidly delete bar, you riding prob wont move it. This a very dumbed down reply. I have my own strong opinions people may or may not agree on hub,casing,stack,bb height, brakes etc.etc. But it can be a bit much, thats why just get out and ride is usually the best answer. My 2021 Marin wheelset with vee tires has been great, with some love from a cheap spoke wrench 11spd,27.5, Tubed, wirebead...

I was one of the early adopters of the stumpy evo in 2019 I lost count of how many shocks I blew up, I'm guessing 8... Fox, rockshox, cane creek x 4, EXT.... all ate the sausage. Thanks yoke clevis & Obama.
