Drop your seat post as low as it goes. Full power - seton on and ride? If the gear ratio is whack- lift bike per and change gear before doing it. Worst case push up 😁
I feel it's inevitable. I had the worst crash i've had on a MTB about 10 weeks after picking mine up. It was a rocky mistake where I clipped the pedal at seed into a large rock garden and flipped the bike and myself. I had gone too far too long that ride and was tired. I'm not in my mid 20's...

I was a hardtail fanatic (and fully rigid for a time) for decades and then after trying a dually I could believe just how much fun they were. Not the light weight ones- one with some good travel and geo. Honestly you can ride stuff at speed that you could only dream of on a hardtail. Now they...
That's a great plan. I usually go to Hope hubs so I guess this indicates its a priority 😁 This problem might explain that coasting felt like I had a fat possum hang off the back 🤣
I feel kinda masculine killing a hub - I won't lie 😂 Saying that, it's Deore so I should chill 😁
I wonder how the warranty process will go? Wish me luck.
Just to clarify - I'm not removing the cassette- the whole thing falls off as one - the free hub and cassette. I cannot make the thing stay in place- but stays put when back in the frame.
Will check in at the LBS. Seems pretty shit on a 12 week old bike. I'm 74kg not 100kg +. Yes I'm riding it...
