How did you sort out chain tension? I don't see a horizontal dropout, tensioner, or any sort of eccentric hub/bb.

Fair play, I don't remember writing this and it hasn't aged well. Pretty damn obvious observation upon rereading. I guess my inner fanboy got caught up in the hype.

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?

I fully support the UCI striving to raise as much money as they possibly can. How else are they supposed to fund a world champs for agoraphobics racing each other on their turbo trainers?

First thing i saw was 'easy to maintain'. They better be with the IGUS bushings wearing out in two or three months and the pedals getting noisy due to increased clearance int he bushing (pedal clacking around when dropping your bike to the ground which then sounds like a loose headset, suspension pivots, etc.). Sadly, the bearings in them are custom so the only thing you can do is buy an official rebuild kit. Which is somewhat expensive (for essentially two bearings) and not always easy to find in stock. Which is a bit of a problem since the only...

Thanks jeff.brines - got into mountain biking in my mid to late 20's - was okay and where I was, was mostly XC vs anything today. I know live in the PNW and got back into MTB 13+ years later and everything is different (but more fun!).

TeamRobot said everything I would say. That said, I wanted to ask, when did you start riding? Do you have any other experience in another sport that might translate? I ask because a "virgin" mountain biker at 40 who has 15 years of B level moto under their belt is very different than a 30 year old D1 lacrosse player who just picked up mountain biking. (This is actually a real case study I've coached).

11/8/2019 6:04pm Great question! First off, your fear is healthy. Mountain bikes can throw you really hard, and it's important to maintain a healthy fear of them. People who are fearless eventually have to stop riding, either because they're tired of being hurt all the time, or they're so hurt they can't ride anymore. Fear is good, so fearless people don't last...
