4/9/2026 2:22pm Using WD40 for lube or what? Haven't had that experience myself. I went though I think 2 XT cassettes/sprockets, and a couple chains over 5 years on my Ep8 bike, nothing that crazy. Modern drivetrains are more than capable of handling these torque levels.

4/5/2026 1:11pm You can buy trail radials right now, they're definitely slower though.. Dual Alberts?

4/2/2026 10:10pm Huge cushcore fan and user here. Absolutely must have a Cushcore pro in rear wheels otherwise I will destroy them. The tire support for cornering is a nice benefit. I think I like the damped feel too, but that's definitely not the main reason I run them. I used to go through multiple rear wheels a year before Cushcore, which got really old. As others have mentioned, when I take a used Cushcore Pro insert out of my rear tire, it's completely knackered, covered in knife slits from the rim, which leads me to believe it's really doing it's job...

3/27/2026 10:15am Unfortunately I'm an idiot, so I'll answer your question even if it is sarcastic. I found a known value that's easy to measure, the rear brake rotor. I set it to 203mm (as mentioned in a bike check from my memory) 16.2cm = 6.377 inch, rounded up however the app used rounds things and also not a perfect angle. Closest match for phone size would be a Iphone 16/17 pro max at 16.3 cm or a google pixel 9/10 at 6.3 inches. I'm going to go with the iphone 16/17 pro max. I should touch grass. I'm also either going...

3/26/2026 7:00am Graphite powder is a very common lubricant used in lots of places, nothing to say it can't work on some parts of a bicycle. I am a little sceptical about it being able to penetrate the chain rollers in the way a liquid would.

3/20/2026 9:10am You are quite an outlier in body proportions so I get why you don't fit on the V10 well but to call it out as having outdated geometry is questionable when really your fit needs scale to something more like an XXL. Anyway good luck, I'd imagine getting the right fit is hard with a +4 inch ape index. Personally I think SC has nailed the sizing on the V10. At 6ft and a half inch I'm on the middle headset cup and long chainstay setting and it's great. Stable and agile and without a doubt the most confidence inspiring...

3/19/2026 6:19pm In a stupid low squat? I'm only 10mm below your bar height at 6ft, and feels like I'm standing straight up. You must be all limbs with no torso?

3/19/2026 6:01pm Go away unless you're leaking your own new things. This is a marketing nonsense free zone. Also, are you ret-conning your own lore? I'm 99% sure X2 referred to your twin tube shocks.

3/19/2026 1:19pm v10 has flippy headset cups, 483 in long/high mode which should be plenty for your height on a DH bike.

3/19/2026 8:37am Going with that it's the same. X2 was such an improvement over Grip2, I didn't really notice any change when I swapped in glidecore on my 36.
