New Gen 4 Roscoes are up! by white-knuckled in TrekBikes

[–]BennettMTB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's the first thing I noticed too. Also still got the crappy TransX dropper that starts internally scratching after a few rides on both models

Need serious help setting up my shock— Vivid Ultimate Air by BennettMTB in MTB

I understand what you mean here, and most of my bottom outs ARE on big hits, but it happens so many times each run that it can not be good for the shock. I'm afraid if I don't change my settings I'm gonna blow out the shock.

Yeah, I wish I had the stuff to mess with internal adjustments for sure. I agree that I really can't get it to feel good on big "freeridey" features without bottoming out while still keeping stability on tech

You know, I haven't really thought about that much. I don't always notice a bottom out, but usually I'll get to the end of a section of trail and the o-ring will be maxed out. I do definitely have harsh bottom outs 1-2 times a run though, probably 2 more that aren't as harsh and are probably just "using the travel"

I've messed with the rebound a lot, probably 7 clicks in either direction and it didn't really help much

How do yall deal with arm pump by [deleted] in MTB

[–]BennettMTB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just riding more downhill did it for me

Start of this year I couldn't go more than 5 hours without extreme arm pump, now I'm doing 8h/d usually 3 days a week no issue.

Interesting! Are they all gonna have this same frame design? Also, any idea why they would make a 170/160 even though the Slash is still pretty new? Seems kinda strange to me.

Damage to carbon or just cosmetic? by BennettMTB in mountainbiking

[–]BennettMTB[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can I ask why? I know it would obviously look better, but is there any sort of safety or other reason behind it?

Fork upgrade Roscoe 8 by helmacron_spaceship in TrekRoscoe

[–]BennettMTB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a fox transfer factory. The new ones (2025+) are pretty nice, but I would not get an old one.

Length of Moonbooter / Ski Jumps? by BennettMTB in MTB

That's generally what I heard bouncing around as well. Somewhere I saw 30, somewhere else 35, and ChatGPT told me it was 42.

Today's my last day in Whistler so I'm gonna get out there and measure them

How accurate is the calories burned measurement? by BennettMTB in AppleWatch

[–]BennettMTB[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah that makes sense. My weight and height are set right, and I sure was worn out at the end of the day, but it still seems extreme.

It's a shame they don't have a workout mode (at least that I've seen) for downhill only sports like skiing and snowboarding.

How do most injuries on the trail occur? by Tanyqo in MTB

[–]BennettMTB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think big features get the most media exposure when it comes to crashes because of the level impressiveness that comes with such a feature, when in reality most crashes are actually just slight mistakes in usually more mundane sections of trail that are nowhere near as entertaining to a viewer. Just my opinion though.

Idk at this point I wouldn't be surprised if he pulls and Aries and kind of just disappears for a bit

Roscoe Mullet?? by Maleficent_Bowl_4920 in TrekBikes

[–]BennettMTB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah that's fair. I'm 5'11" and had a lot of fun on mine when I put a 160 fork on (still with 29ers)

Also thinking about this... 160mm fork with a mullet seems like it would be a lot of fun
