    Trail Tool Time

    Getting back to this subject awhile ago I ran across another mention of "piss fir" and the species listed was called a White Fir. The piss name relates to the smell as it is being cut. Very low on the BTU scale so not even good for firewood.

    TSDZ2 for this (currently) rigid 29'er I built?

    I put lots of miles on TSDZ2 converted bikes, both hardtail and fs before I switched to an integrated system. I never had issues with broken spindles or over heating but did have issues with the nylon drive gear chipping out on my earliest effort and after replacing with the brass gear it was...

    E shifting

    As long as you are seeking options this is the one I went with: Archer Components Electronic Shifting for Every Bike I didn't want to get locked into any particular brand and be able to use the drivetrain I already had and just wanted to get rid of the cable activated shifting. The D1x works...

    DH World Cup thread

    They really butchered Puck Pieterse's name there.....Rob finally listened to his ear mic but Emily carried on and she is Canadian and should know how to say puck being from a hockey nation. Well I stand corrected. I had made mention of this on Igram and got a reply from movemedialtd that said...

    Not sure what you mean? Seems pretty obvious on my screen? Do you have a different' feed perhaps? I am using GCN+. Full morning of racing here with the Tour going on the TV and DH on the computer.

    That doesn't happen often at that level....especially in the Men's class. Brutal track!

    Dengfu E22 Frame Thread

    You are on the right track for sure. I considered that also but after going with the Archer system I have solved my issues. It was a bit fiddly to set up however. Like any der. system it shifts different on the stand than under load. Usually you tune the adjuster at the pod while moving but you...

    Bafang Greasing PSA

    After 3,000 or so miles of CH use we have yet to experience this. I have seen instances of people installing way too much grease in their gear systems thinking that more is better but that is not the case I have found. More than stock certainly but putting too much of any type of grease in there...

    New Bosch SX Super Light motor launched

    Gives you plenty of time to figure out which bank to rob? Doubt you could set up a Dentistry by then though.

    What is this?

    I used to ride SlingShots bitd. They actually didn't ride that bad pre suspension times. Several friends raced them professionally and did rather well also. I certainly don't long for those days however but they were fun while they lasted. One of mine ended up in a collection over there in the...

    Rim tape, what a carry on

    Just saw a tip on Igram that you take a heat gun/hairdryer to the rim and warm it up before applying. Going to try that next time.

    Small quality of life Giant mod.

    Just curious if any Giant owners are experiencing issues with charging? My buddy has been having issues since day one with his connecting the charger to the bike and has to remove the battery to get the charger to go red reliably? However sometimes it will charge on the bike? Checked connections...

    Feedback on Maxon BIKEDRIVE AIR?

    The Maxon looks similar to the Fazua system? BIKEDRIVE AIR | maxon e-bike drives - maxon BIKEDRIVE Even considering that the prices for this effort are Canadian loonies the pricing seems a bit looney as well. Granted I am not in the target market for a bike like this.

    Bafang Greasing PSA

    I don't think that it voids the warranty, at least whatever warranty there is for the M620.....One needs to fully remove the motor from the bike which does require a bit of care and the 16point cup tool to remove the chainring spider. Remember that it is left hand thread. Also it really helps to...
