Maxxis DHR2 DD Maxxgrip 29" fitted 24 October 2023, done exactly 600 miles. Has loads of grit/chalk (?) in the tread, never seen that before, or perhaps I've never noticed. Perhaps been running wrong pressure? Tyre looks f**ked ... Ride a lot on the chalk and mud South Downs. Edit: 2022...

Miranda cranks about £60 Hope cranks about £170 5Dev cranks about £450 Bought Miranda cranks. What do I get by instead spending either 2.8 times more on Hope cranks or 7.5 times more on 5Dev cranks?

Just replaced 165mm cranks with 155mm cranks (2022 Trek Rail 5) By how much did you shorten your cranks, and did you need to also change seat height/bar height/chain ring/stem/other? Or did you just ride it and leave everything else the same as before and quickly adapt?

Trailcross EPS Mid. Water came in around the tongue. Both feet. Not amused. Got some Salomon walking boots which are absolutely waterproof but they're heavy as f**k. Is there anything genuinely waterproof? At what price?

Did some research into Shimano 12 speed chains by watching videos and reading reviews. What I figured out was roughly this, using Deore (M6100) as the base: Deore (M6100) life index = 100 (no SIL-TEC coating, rusts) SLX ..... (M7100) life index = 100 (same chain as Deore but with inner...

Also posted here: https://www.emtbforums.com/threads/what-did-you-buy-your-ebike-this-week.8156/post-514010 Bought a TruTune MTB Air Fork Insert, Short for Rockshox/EMTB. Insert arrived early yesterday so put it in my Zeb A2 (2023) 160mm forks (no tokens). Previously had about 66 psi which...

Front and rear Maxxis Assegai Maxxgrip DD are packing up horribly with the mud turning them into slicks. Replacing our fronts with Schwalbe Magic Mary Ultra Soft Super Gravity, and rears with Maxxis Minion DHR 2 Maxxgrip DD. I feel dirty doing this. ;)

Trek Rail alloy 2022 - may want to increase rear height to make steering 'faster'. Have two choices: 1. Move Mino Link from Low to High to increase rear height by ~10mm 2. Remove a couple of spacers from the Ohlins TTX22.m coil which will increase height by ~12mm (not allowing for sag)...

In spite of Anheuser-Busch's Bud Light (Dylan Mulvaney) and Calvin Klein's trans man in a bra (Bappie Kortram) marketing debacles, Adidas has promoted women's swimwear modeled by a 6'2" man! Misogynism. No more Adidas, Anheuser-Busch, or Calvin Klein products for me. (n)

Took a few minutes to make the below basic gizmo from 15mm x 2mm aluminium strip. After releasing Shimano clutch use it to hook the derailleur onto the chain stay. Lots of loose chain so easy rear wheel removal and installation.

The standard derailleur hanging down next to the rear wheel is a prime target for branches, rocks, and general debris etc. Why do we still have this horribly exposed contraption inherited from road bikes? It is really up to the two major players, Sram and Shimano, to come up with a better...

Have 2022 Alloy Rail 5's with Shimano drivetrains. When it gets really mucky mud and other debris can accumulate in the front chain guard/guide. Is there any practical reason why I need these chain guards, or can I take them off? (always have derailleur clutches on).

First ride yesterday on my 2022 Trek Rail (Alloy, Large) with Ohlins TTX22M.2 with 525lb spring. Thanks TF Tuned! Am 79-80kg Rail has Rockshox Pike Ultimate 150mm forks moved over from my Trek Fuel EX (ML) upgraded to 160mm C1 Air spring for the Rail. The Ohlins shock replaced the stock...

Just upgraded from Bosch Purion to Bosch Kiox (Retrofit). Does anyone have a watch which syncs with the Kiox so that heart rate can be displayed? Can see chest and arm straps but no watches. Doesn't have to be amazingly accurate.

The reason is that I would prefer to have the Purion near the centre of the bars but have the control unit on the left hand side as now. So if I bought a Bosch Kiox Control unit (pictured below) could I connect it to the Purion? Happy to butcher and solder, but don't know if it's possible and...

Will use it as helmet cam when kitesurfing, helmet cam while skiing, and chest/helmet/bars cam on MTB. But which GoPro? Simple editing is fine, don't want to muck around with fancy editing (ex software geek, yawn). Thinking GoPro Hero 8 Let the camera wars commence ...

Have a 2022 Rail 5 with Pike Ultimate forks (TF Tuned) with 160mm upgrade and Rockshox deluxe Select+ shock with Megneg upgrade. Thinking about upgrading the shock with Rockshox Deluxe Air (230x57.5), anyone tried it? Could upgrade to Ohlins coil but really don't want to chuck money at it - as...

Tried them out today in front brake. Was pretty warm (~28C) and very dusty on the South Downs Way near Bignor Hill (West Sussex). The Discobrakes semi-metallic pads were noisy as hell, really pissed me orf. Got home, took them out, cleaned the rotor and put my old Shimano D03S pads back in...
