I have seen a few 2nd hand Treks for sale looking like mine with the "Patented Trek electrical tape racing stripe" around the frame. People don't even bother taking it off for the photos.😅
I wouldn't worry too much about the need for a mullet if you're riding bikepark (Never ridden in one but I'm assuming a bike park has well graded long smooth tracks with jumps like what I see on youtube) I've found some better riders than me have gone back to 29ers as the mullet isn't the...
I have switched from DHRii max grip on the rear to max terra. I use a lot of back brake & the rear wheel is locked up on rocky descents & tight corners a lot. I would say the Max terra lasts twice as long as the max grip in this situation. After about 300kms of downhill the rear still looks as...
The only time mine hasn't creaked was for 2 days after getting a full service & pivot bearings replaced. Pivot bearings do have a hard time though. Also try a thin bit of rubber between the battery & bottom of the frame just to cancel that possibility.
When I'm riding I'm either singing along...
I gotta agree. Your rockhopper 26 inch would be very old & anything mid - upper standard would be better. In saying that your old coil forks may feel spongy which to you may feel good & plush however could actually be reasonably ineffective in their overall performance. I'd try some Mazzochi...
Slightly off topic but still following the recent converstion. I have mulleted my bike & thought the displayed speed was incorrect however when another bike was alongside, their displayed speed was within the same km/h.
According to my (bad) google fu there is a difference of 100mm in...
I can't actually believe the anger towards Emtbs in your country. Over here in NZ they are almost out selling analogue bikes. There used to a bit of cheating type attitude a few years ago however today noone really gives a rats arse. Technically we can't ride in national parks however the...
Yes I saw one yesterday in T7 over here. I couldn't tell they were an emtb & felt reasonably light to lift. I was surprised to see so many Trek EMTBs on the usually empty shop floor
No this is a giant Reign thread & he has time & time again moaned about his experience. We get it, he has had a bad experience & thinks they're cheap crap & lovves his Norco. Great! move on to the Norco forum or the general forum & share the stoke about them there and stop rubbing peoples...
This is a good video. Bens' videos seem to focus on the way to get down a hill fast which is good if that is your aim however in this context it points out the difference between comfort braking & race braking. The latter is good when faced with a tricky section.
I can't recognise the currency. What is it's equiv in USD or GBP?
Whats with the extra bit of pipe work around the seat post? I see it as an early 2000s looking bike.
Yes but some of us poorer peasants have the nyon(?) basic system. If you do find a LBS that reprogrammes them please let me know. Not that much of a problem for me though as if I'm doing more than 25kph on most the tracks I ride then I'm in for a long stay in a hospital
Awesome bro. Yeah I really like mine too but haven't managed to thrash it yet. Feels totally different aye? I don't strava as I go so slow the app thinks I'm asleep but good to see the comparison of the speeds. I was cruising along up a forestry rd & it was reading 21kph so I thought it might be...
