Are you sure that the bike that you threw over the guardrail is tough enough for that kind of abuse, you should really consider taking better care of your equipment.

I’m riding an Ozark trail ridge with a recon silver RL and this guy is talking about an entry level bike being $3000…. This is what is wrong with the MTB community. I’m not going into debt for a hobby.

If I change from a 34T chainring to a 38T chainring will my chain length need to be increased for proper shifting? Great video thanks
@mikemtbs
@mikemtbs 11 күн бұрын
I actually don’t know the answer for sure. It would make sense that you would have to extend the chain a few links because of the increased surface area. But again I don’t know for sure

40 degrees f. I know pressure drops w temperature. So I’d imagine if it was hotter I’d add have a few more psi

@@mikemtbs Yes, but I was curious about the temperature cause on a grip 3 pos Performance fork I struggled to hav good traction ans smooth work under 5 degress Celsius, 40F is 4.4C degrees, so quite "cold" and judging by the video it worked quite well. I sold my fork a couple days ago and bough a brand new 2023 160 Fox 36 with Grip2, very keen on trying it out :) We have similiar temperatures nowadays in Hungary.

@marzocchidj3 ok very cool… literally. I felt like I had very good traction when using the fork. Try not to go above 20% sag and the fork works best

I got a faulty valve core on my deluxe plus. I let the air out then removed the valve core but it broke inside and half the valve core is stuck inside. My bicycle dealer is making a warranty claim on it. Hopefully it all works out.

got the helmet. Not mentioned in your video is that the dial adjustment carriage has 5 points of adjustment. The who dial carriage has a center attachment that can be moved (2 positions) . The attachment uses the same click in and out as the cheek pieces. The the carriage is attached on both side areas. These have 3 points of adjustment to make the helmet bigger or smaller. It comes in the center position of the three positions. Last, make sure the cheek pads are on the correct side. If reversed, they will get on your ears.

I recently purchased my first ebike, the Merida E-ONE Sixty 500, it comes with this fork. I will lower my expectations, as long as it works and lasts, for now it is enough, in about 4 more years I will see if it is worth upgrading. I hope it is the 2022 version and does not have the problems of the previous version.

Does the rebound damping adjustor actually click on your RockShox 35 Gold fork? Mine (on a new bike) does not, so I'm trying to figure out if it is faulty or they were just too cheap to include clicks. (I posted this comment previously but it didn't appear.)

Ehm ... you advised to clean the calipers/pistons in the caliper with oil. And you didnt advise to clean the calipers and the pistons with a brake cleaner afterwards. I'd correct that part if i were you. The oil part is completely unneccessary and life/limb/bone-dangerous. Just use a proper, inexpensive brake cleaner.

@@mikemtbs make sense.... i'm 160lbs and working on set the same fork (F36 factory 2021 vvc) @ 160mm travel , and i agree with you about lsr ( i read online that increase lsr increase compression, so the trick for less harsh feeling is to use lsr as open as you can) , so i'm : 75/77 psi , one token, lsr 12 / hsr 5 / lsc 12 / hsc fully open or just one clik from wide open. This is where i landed for the moment... not sure it's perfect yet I even tryed lsr all open and compensate a bit with more lsc....and seems to work... very less harsh feeling on the small/medium chatter
