vmartinez Added a reply to Derailleur Drama
6/8/2026 3:03pm Make sure the cable is being routed into the anchor bolt correctly. I routed it wrong on a new XT rear derailleur and it caused the same issues your are describing. Turns out it goes on one side and not the other. I can take a picture if you need one.

vmartinez Added a reply to Salsa Cassidy / Blackthorn Conversion Link
10/16/2024 7:58am I am running a Mullet on my Blackthorn and it's great. I have had a few more pedal strikes than with the full 29 setup but for me it's worth it. I didn't get along with the big wheels. As for the link's, I had ordered a Cassidy link set and found that the shock price was really high. I...

+size runs small. I ended up ordering one size larger because they didn't have my size. Glad I did. If I would have ordered my correct size then they would have been a really tight fit. Bike specific size means Skinny tight. Nice construction and material. I have been wearing there Snowboard Bibs the last few years and love them. Their standard size doesn't transfer to the Cycling Line of cloths.

Prolly GT? With the press release about their relocation and recommitment to their roots, teaming up with GT makes a lot of sense. We're all aware of GT's pedigree back in the day. GT likes to party. CG likes to party. GT + CG = Moar Good Times.

anotherbikerguy Liked a reply to forum topic Repairing cracked aluminum frame
10/12/2022 8:32am
Repairing aluminum frames is challenging because the heat of welding will affect the temper of the alloy, and the frame needs to be heat-treated after welding in order to regain its intended strength. But heat-treating a frame can also potentially cause alignment issues (and the frame might also need to be completely stripped of paint). There are very few manufacturers, frame builders, or welders who will repair a cracked aluminum frame, unfortunately.

Nice thing about the old Zokes is you just keep adding oil until they ramp up properly. I wanna say oil height should be about 3 inches from the top of the stanchion when fully compressed, but often times I'd just fine tune it to feel. Add 10cc at a time.

I have been able to reduce the travel by taking the smallest Zip Tie you can find and cut it down to the length you want to drop your post. I had to drop my travel by 15 mm. You take the locking ring off and drop the zip tie between Keyway and the post. Flat side facing the post. Then put the Lock Ring back into place. I have been doing this for over a year and it's worked perfectly.

9/21/2020 3:44pm Enve's rims and Stem are made here in Ogden. The Greg Minnaar bar was the only bar they made in Ogden. Trp is also in Ogden but everything comes from Taiwan.

5/26/2020 11:38am QBP has the 30's in stock. They should be the same price at Retail Pricing as if they get them from Santa Cruz. They don't have the I9 hub but the DT350 hubs. Looks like July for the wheels with the I9 hubs.

It's a 27.5 frame with a 29er fork. I rode the same bike that the Gt Sports Marketing Mgr has. It's setup exactly like Martin's Bike. It's a super fun bike.

1/3/2019 4:04pm Those are TRP's. You can tell by the lever. Both TRP and Enve are both in Ogden Utah. I don't see Enve dumping that kind of money into Gwin. But Gwin is still riding for TRP.

A bit off topic - but oh well: The Big Spesh has been notorious for copy right infringement litigation (after buying a patent to prevent US companies for using horst link without paying substantial royalty fees) for a decade+ or so while infringing on smaller brands patents at the same time. While it has been their right to sue infringers from a legal standpoint, it is still a bit untoward conduct from a brand created by rebranding other brands' bikes and using other people's patents without paying for it. The biking industry is not the tech industry (check out Samsung...
