Just replaced e13's on my new Orbea Wild because they came loose after the 2nd ride. Also were tightened to spec with a proper torque wrench before the first ride. They continued to loosen every few rides, even after I removed them, cleaned all the parts and used Lock-Tite when they were...

I've got no problem with people chasing Strava goals, I do it myself for personal goal setting and training. I definitely click-bait titled this one, and it worked for the most part. lol Reminder: in this case I am the Stravasshole. Really, to each their own, live and let live, and all that...

Still figuring out the Hero12 options and some new video editing tools.

Van Michael Trail at Blankets Creek in Canton, GA. Experimenting with some Picture in Picture with the Hero7 pointing at the rear tire. :)

Avalanche Trail in Woodstock, GA. :)

Running the Hopes. I'm just a big ol' Hope fanboy.... Hope Ebike Cranks

Riding Bear Creek in Ellijay GA. The beastly climb at the start of BC2.

Dropper upgrade.... Bank account downgrade. ;) I've got problems...haha

I try anything and everything. This is what I've used over the past couple years. Smoove - not bad, doesn't last long though in wet conditions Squirt - pretty good stuff but messy and doesn't last more than 2 or 3 rides, wet or dry. White Lightning Clean Ride Wax - used this probably more than...

New shoes. Continental Argotal 2.4. Hopefully they work as well as my Der Kaiser Projekts did on my acoustic bike.

Daddy?????

Age: 58 Mental age: Wife says I act like a teenager, so... City: Atlanta GA Country: USA Ride: 2021 Orbea Rise FS in XL, with numerous upgrades Ride pic

I've heard the Specialized Levo 6 bolt magnet works well too and has a more powerful magnet. I have a Wild FS and used the Bosch 6 bolt when I upgraded my wheels, but had to put three washers between magnet and rotor, and also had to glue a small fridge magnet to it, to get it close enough to...

Got some Spank J-Type hubs with Stan's Flow EX3 hoops built up by the local pro wheel builder. Custom wheelsets are the best upgrades you can make for maximum payoff, in my opinion. Also replaced the OEM rotors with some lovely Shimano XT SM-RT86 203mm rotors.

After my OEM rear wheel went out of line for the 2nd time in 500 miles along with a few broken spokes Sunday, I shelled out a quart of blood, my left leg, and a bunch of dollars for a set of custom Buli Built wheels. Spank Hex hubs and Stan's hoops, made by the best wheel builder in the region...

Yeah, I'd love to go to a 36 or 38 tooth. Seems like that would be a little easier on the lower gear cogs in the cassette... I barely use 1-5 cogs now. Wolf Tooth has some options I'm looking at currently. They make solid components, but not sure if it's emtb-ready or not.

I know this is an old thread, but I'm in Woodstock. Riding Allatoona Creek today, then hitting Blankets the next 3 days before going up to Bear Creek Saturday.

Crank Brothers Stamp, Spank Oozy, Deity Black Kats... I've had really good experiences with all of these. The Stamps are my favorite.

Awesome! Last time I was there on my YT Jeffsy, it was a suffer-fest. I'm looking forward to going back with the e-bike and actually enjoying some of those climbs, particularly High Voltage. That trail made me want to cry. lol

Hey, are ebikes okay at Racoon Mtn? I think they are but it's hard to get a straight answer.
