I usually don’t like maxxis tires, but the DTH’s are pretty top notch. Thanks for taking us on an adventure!

I’ve heard mixed reviews of them, but I’ve been running that set for over five years with no issue. They work just fine for me, and are super comfy :) Thanks for watching!

Nice bike & a nice ride. Plus U had it all to yourself. 👍

[@dirtbagcycles1]

Thanks! Don’t see too many people out there unless it’s a summer weekend. Perks of a rainy day I guess.

looks like a nice spot!

Bit drizzly, but I ain’t complainin’

Cool bike. Good job on the video. Beautiful place to live. The ghost shifting might be because the cable is catching at the BB when the frame flexes (especially if you stand up going uphill). It holds tension there, and then when the frame moves it lets go. Try lubing with grease. It doesn't really attract much dirt and will protect it. If the cable is a dull light grey (oxidized) change the inner cable. The shifter needs adjusted too of course, but you'll see what I mean.

They're friction shifters, and the screw was definitely 100% loose, derailleur just pulling it into the hardest gear through spring tension. I've been fighting with this for years, and I know I just have to invest in locktite, but I'm lazy that way.

@matthew7419 though some lube probably wouldn't hurt lol

[@matthew7419]

@@dirtbagcycles1 I had the same problem with the screws. IDK what they did back in the day.

[@dirtbagcycles1]

@@matthew7419 a lot more adjustments? Lol. Who knows. Most days I can fix it on the fly too, but I wanted to film it for that content

Nice ride! Rambler happening this year? Can't wait to check out these trails.

[@dirtbagcycles1]

Heyo, Yeah I'm still planning on Rambling! Had a bit of a busy spring, so I'm a bit behind.

Hi, Marc 🙂 What do you like about that neighbourhood that makes it one of your favourites?

[@dirtbagcycles1]

I like how close it is to downtown, but it's not as expensive as some other neighbourhoods in the area. It also seems like it has a good family vibe :)
