Welcome back to another episode of Ask GMBN Tech, where we try to answer all of your complex, scary, niche, and technical questions about mountain bikes and MTB-related tech!
⏱ Time Stamps 👇
00:00 - Intro
00:19 - I currently have a bike with 175mm crank arms and get a lot of pedal strikes and have issues with manuals, would going to shorter cranks help out? Thinking 165mm. Would 10mm really affect anything, or is it too big of a jump in size?
02:05 - What width tyre is best for cross-country riding?
04:38 - Why do the officials blow a whistle after each downhill racer goes by? It's not the fans. It was during practice I noticed
05:19 - I've been having problems with my shifting, only half of the cassette shifts well, if you use the barrel adjuster chain goes well to the biggest gear but then when going to the smallest cogs shifting doesn't work well, I've already changed cable and cable housing, shifter
06:48 - Why are internal hub gears so uncommon? I know nothing about modern variants, but surely there must be good decently priced ones to mount on MTBs? Less maintenance and wear would be a nice upside to have for sure.
09:12 - Why does nobody remember BOS suspension as much as before considering it wasn't long ago they released a 39mm stanchion enduro fork
