Skerby Added a reply to Guide Brake repair
12/5/2019 6:48am I have replaced levers because of this issue before. The last time it happened I just disassembled the lever and dripped some brake fluid down onto the plastic piston. It has been dialed ever since, doesn't get super hot here though.

12/4/2019 12:05pm Hell yea! I'm gonna try to convince someone to tow me now.
Skerby Started a new thread Towing with Ebikes
12/4/2019 6:37am Has anyone ever tried to pull a friend uphill with their Ebike? I've been afraid to ask anyone in real life, but it seems like it could be done. A few years ago I had a Klx110 that was used to shuttle two DH bikes at a time, this little bike probably only made a couple horsepower, but it would...

11/14/2019 8:54am My old man has similar bike setup. He has air shocks, but still carbon patrol with exo casings. He rides serious trails that give most of us flats w/o inserts, but he doesn't ever flat because he never pushes as hard. Im actually pretty jealous that he gets away with it, and I dont think heavier casings would improve his riding at all.

11/14/2019 8:51am Yeah, confusing. Why would you want a dual-coil 160mm travel enduro bike with snakeskin XC tires on it? Seems like you could put real tires with real sidewalls on that bike and still have a light bike. Or if you don't need real tires where you ride, maybe you can also get away with a shorter travel bike?

11/14/2019 8:50am You basically have to buy the Yakuza at this point. All these bikes bring back fond memories, but if you bought a used enduro bike from the last couple years it would probably serve you better. You'll be able to climb stuff, and it will descend at least as well as these old DH bikes. Edit: Big hit looks like...

11/13/2019 12:57pm Hmmmm. Compared to the motorcycle industry that I come from, the bicycle industry folk seem pretty chill. I like you guys. Just saying.

11/11/2019 7:05am Ebikes are the privatest of private clubs. Just try and get those guys to wait around for you at the top of the climbs, not happening lol. Also the price of admission is a little higher.

11/11/2019 6:56am Not justifying people being dicks, however I think the issue with E bikes is the name is almost an oxy moron. A bike is something propelled by human movement. An e bike is the similar but with one massive difference, a motor. So to most people they are not the same and should not be referred to as such. Never thought much of it until I was on a long hour long climb out west when some old guy (Santa looking) passed us all like it was a joke. Then I had an opinion on E bikes. People think they...

11/8/2019 2:26pm These stupid Mo-peds (that's what they are) are hurting trail access for ALL mtb'er's. Unless you're disabled or over 75 years old, get your fat ass in shape, learn to ride, and pedal, suffer, push to the top. If you're one of those, "they're so fun! you don't get it!" Then man up and ride a dirtbike.

11/4/2019 2:28pm Great article and totally agree. People who like riding these boat anchors were the guys who sucked on normal bikes.

11/4/2019 2:26pm The problem is they will hurt trail access. I've seen plenty of e-bikers out on the trails that WILL hurt themselves and/or others because the barrier of MTB being hard (to get to the top at least and cover ground) is almost non-existent with an e-bike. They have no clue what they're doing out there. More hikers getting run over, more inexperienced 'e-riders' getting hurt on the way down, more EMS runs to extract injured people off the trail. MTB being difficult means that only the people that really want to do it and are willing to pay the dues...
