Before 32", Sanjay continued the blazing pioneering efforts started my Morgan of BCD (Buffalo Composite Designs - look up his homemade carbon 29" DH frame) by racing on probably the only 29" bike in the downhill...

I agree with both points (mandatory licensing with training classes and banning "in-between" mobility devices), and I think your arguments are well-reasoned and practical. However, I have zero confidence that your wonderful and simple solutions will be will implemented, and instead I predict an insane hodgepodge of jurisdictions, conflicting standards, and varying degrees of enforcement.

Cushcore's bead bro and pedro long handle steel tire lever have saved me so many profanities thrown around the garage during previous tire installs. All for under $40 MSRP for both. If you haven't installed a DH or enduro casing E13 tire on E13's Carbon Flux rim combo, you wouldn't know. LOL

3/5/2026 9:34pm https://atlus.bike/?country=US (from this shop). I would advise against the cheaper amazon knockoff as they're made of 3D printed plastic materials.

3/5/2026 9:32pm From my own experience, and I have 4 sets of Maven (straight up stock), after the initial massage from brand new, I've skipped the massage during subsequent reset mainly during pad replacements. Haven't had the need to rebleed any of my sets.

3/5/2026 7:37am Since with all these Maven (I have 4 of them on my bikes) piston massage and since none of my old traditional piston press tools fit the Maven caliper, I have started using this type of piston press with ease. $45 is steep but it's made of alloy rather than 3D printed plastic like the cheaper ones.

11/13/2025 12:13pm Yea, I feel like Auto on the Levo 4 is pretty close to the Bosch's eMTB mode. I like it as well and I tend to stick with it on most of my ride. With the range extender at auto, I was able to get 54 miles with over 7,000 of elev gained on predominantly auto. So it's interesting to...

10/23/2025 1:40pm If y'all have to settle keeping bikes with 157 rear hub, E13 is and has blowing out rear wheels with 157 spacing. I almost want to buy the wheel just for the carbon rim. https://www.ethirteen.com/products/sylvan-race-carbon-e-spec-all-mounta… (in 29 and 27.5)

It's nuts how close the men's elite standings are right now considering that Jackson won four of the first five and two thirds of the races so far. After Loic won in Andorra, it's only 150 or so points separating him and Jackson, which is less than the points for one win.

Sorry that was more of a general recommendation of CK grease, maybe not suitable for here though. The silver grease contains Moly Sulfide which I wouldn't use on carbon parts - the blue stuff would be compatible but its probably too thin to help much What the UR is supposed to be appears to be the kind of thing I would be looking for (PTFE thickened, maybe a silicone base oil) and quite different to regular mineral oil based grease with lithium or calcium thickeners Sram Jonnisnot is extremely high viscosity and quite tacky - https://www.sram.com/en/sram/models/ss-grjs-a1 I've had good results...

7/15/2025 6:09pm Googling that CK grease as we speak. Signed, desperate HS creak grease fix fanboi. Speaking of perceived viscosity.... I'm glad I'm not the only one who may have gotten a runny UR grease. It literally didn't stay in its place when I disassembled the headset last night. SO! I mixed the next batch with half and half portions of Finish...

7/15/2025 3:54pm I figured as well. As much as old wrenches touted that wheel building is an art, it's also very mathematical - triangulation and cheet. Oh yea, I might have gotten carried away and built two more wheels. Cake! Now it would make it easier to swap out wheels when testing drivetrains (oh pls send me them tires, E13) back to...

Always de-tension and then bring it back up after replacement. The spokes that didn't break get put under more stress when a snap occurs. I found if you don't de-tension the next spoke to snap is roughly 90deg off from the one you replaced. Orb weaver spiders replace a bunch of strands when they replace a broken one. Kinda figure they've a better idea of these things than any engineer.

7/15/2025 4:22pm I asked bec when I did just as you stated in your No. 1 comment, I had experienced a few (not majority) replacement spokes stretching by as much as 2mm. I often just account these instances that maybe those were not legit DT Swiss Comp Race spokes. I measure each spoke to verify it's the right length prior to each...
