Converted from 3x7 13-43t with a chainring 28-38-48t front, to 1x8 11-34t with a chainring 36t front. Best thing I did to my bicycle.

You also gotta check for flat spots on rims. I know there not very common, but there super annoying. Riding rims with a flat spot isn’t dangerous on alloy rims, but it feels wonky and normally results in buying new rims.

Hey I have a question. Can I swap out fork on my trek marlin 6 gen 3 2023 for a fork with diffrent offset

@dirtwolfmtb 26 күн бұрын

@@Rokocubric you can do anything you want. It will just change the geo of the bike. Marlin 6 is pretty steep head angle factory making it easy to steer and climb. Look at videos on “head angle” and “trail”. Trail is changed when the offset changes. The Trail affects the steering axis.

You can’t check for dropper movement but every sub £200 dropper I ever seen has a bit of slack after a while. Especially the Brand X Ascent (not knocking it, it’s an outstanding post considering it’s also the cheapest!)

@dirtwolfmtb Ай бұрын

I rebuilt it. And it had zero play afterwards. Go to KZbin and search “how to service a Brand X Dropper post” you will see you get a seal and pin kit. When the pins are worn it will develop excessive side to side play like this had.

Just shift into the smallest front ring first and see if you’ll like it. Most riding I’ve done on pretty heavy climbing hills a 1x9 or 1x10 or 1x11 works great. Just ensure if you do it you look at the cranks to see if they are riveted or not, if they are like this one, had to grab a used crank set.

Could i suggest following each "check" with what to check? Without, this lacks any meaningful suggestions. For example, check the chain by measuring wear like this.... Also, repeat on dropper comments above. Some play can be totally fine and not a sign of wear depending on the dropper.
