    Light back protector VS backpack

    I ride more with a neck brace than with a back protector. Only wear the full armor at the bike parks but my brace is ever present.

    emtb in socal trails

    Waterworks (LaDera Ranch), Vail Lake (Temecula), Greer Ranch (kinda close to Temecula), Skyline (Corona), Dog Pak (San Clemente). Trailforks is good to use to find places to ride. Also I use YouTube (specifically Mtb Alan and Tommy Huyn) to find new places to ride and get a general idea of what...

    Cushcore, which rear tire for durability

    Cushcore and Maxis dont play well in my experience. Fun fact you are not supposed to use levers with Maxis. Fun fact number two...cant install Cushcore without levers and if you can we should talk about the dangers of steroid use. With Cushcore I had much better success with Magic Mary's...

    Shortening your cranks

    PSA for owners with the 24mm cranks (RF Ride). The cranks are decent enough despite being 170mm. The BB that the lower tier powerplays with the 24mm spindles are complete garbage. Regardless of if you upgrade to shorten your cranks or not you really should plan to upgrade the BB as a top...

    Frequency of torque sensor calibration?

    HMMM well thats weird. Will try a reset and see if it resolves. I do have a habit of removing the battery to charge, wondering if disconnecting causes the prompt.

    Frequency of torque sensor calibration?

    Is it normal to have the jumbotron frequently prompt to calibrate the torque sensor? Last ride I went on it seemed as if every other time I stopped it prompted me to put the bike in the lowest gear unload suspension and calibrate. Don't mind doing it as part of the pre-ride routine but not...

    Shortening your cranks

    Bit the bullet ordered, the 165 Atlas with 30x 83mm spindle, dual bearing 30mm BB, 30mm lock ring and switching away from magpeds going back to Oneup pedals as the magpeds are rather thick.

    Shortening your cranks

    Gonna go that route and drill down if the pedal strike problem persist.

    Shortening your cranks

    Doh! OK just figured out what you were saying S13...the spider and chainring are Sram pattern not the inner splines. Got it. Guess I will try 165's and see if they work better if not will drill them.

    Shortening your cranks

    So I thought about this a lot last night and something just doesn't add up. Specifically why would RM ever make such a spider considering that RF as far as I can tell never made cranks with a Sram spline interface and Sram never made cranks with a RF spline or RF Cinch locking ring. Perhaps...

    Shortening your cranks

    BUMMER! But hey thanks for the clarification. Looks like easiest pathe is sending to bikesmith to redrill and converting the 24mm to 30mm BB.

    Shortening your cranks

    I would like to talk through this so I want to be clear I'm not arguing the point but rather trying to understand the viability. My current understanding is cinch is the spline pattern the crank attaches to the chainring but in this application the splines attach to the ratchet spider and the...

    Intro and a bit of an apology lol

    So yeah new to this forum and on day one rocketed a bunch of replies to various threads. No nefarious motives here just a guy who buys brand new bikes and completely disassembles them before ever riding them. Engineer by profession currently, formerly a machinist and welder before getting a...

    Rocky Mountain bottom bracket.

    As mentioned above standard PF 92, the lower priced models have a 24mm spindle dia while the upper tier models use a 30mm. While the BB is standard the ratcheting spider is only compatible with RF Cinch system or you can purchase a Sram version. I only mention this if your entertaining...

    2022 Rocky Mountain Altitude Powerplay // Turbo Levo Gen 3

    First off these are the two best motor options available hands down! I previously owned eMtb's with Shimano and Bosch motors and theres no comparison. Something to be said for a manufacturer to commit to designing a motor rather than designing a bike around a motor. I just went on a ride...

    Is the steerer tube on a Powerplay Instinct tapered?

    Yes the they are tapered...that is to say the head tube bearings are of different diameters. One could run a smaller bearing on the lower cup for a straight tube fork (Dual Crown) if you were inclined to do so. But the point here is the OEM configuration is for taper HT's. The HT Bearing specs...

    Shortening your cranks

    You are correct this crank uses a Sram pattern chainring interface. I mentioned in my post a new Sram ratchet spider would be needed. RM does make them. I contacted Rocky to confirm that this wasnt a mistake the ebay seller made in the description. RM confirmed this is an actual part they make...

    Speed sensor magnets Dyname 4.0

    For a 2023 just buy the RM 3 magnet sensor vs 3 of those devices listed. They make two versions one for power spline and one for 6 bolt. First thing I did was swap wheels to run my Hope Pro 4 6 bolt so I had to order the 6 bolt magnet...

    Other Shigura users, why not Magura levers?

    I currently run MT5 4 pot calipers and XT (8100) levers with Jagwire hose, front 220 rear 200 floating magura rotors. I ride mostly downhill/aggressive enduro and this is the system which makes me feel the most safe and in control at speed. YMMV. The XT master cyl has less fluid capacity than...
