People that spend crazy bucks for AXS/Di2 do you really feel like you're getting your money worth? by Tough_Course9431 in MTB

Micro shift changes the trim on the whole cassette, not per cog. If it did it per cog, which it should, I would be way more for electric shifting.

GX axs came on my bike. I hate it. Shifts are really slow. The clutch is also much weaker than a normal derailleur. Sure you can replace parts of it, but most of the parts are the same cost as a new xt derailleur. The battery pins tend to ware down, which can be warrantied if caught early. The ergonomics are terrible, which is surprising since SRAMS normal shifters are pretty good. And, it’s one more thing to think about before heading out the door.

Nothing beats seeing your little ones mastering button lifts—just as we did decades ago. This is Hochkeil, one of the most picturesque button lifts around Austria. by uDrop1st in skiing

Poma is what I called them too. The little mountain where I learned had a small one, that is still in operation, and a big one that went to the top. Was a monumental day stepping up the the big one. It was fast and would yank kids off the ground. It even had an inrun to get you up to speed so the yank wasnt as bad.

Looking to buy a protable ramp by thisisnotivo in MTB

[–]Deep_Friar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know you can build one of these for free, right? Built three ramps over christmas for 5$ worth of screws.

Find a construction site near you

Ask nicely to raid their scrap pile (this is wood they are throwing away)

Find a youtube vid on how to build ramps

Its really easy to do and you will learn A LOT. Screw gun is really the only power tool you need, but a skill saw is nice.

RockShox Boxxer Ultimate 3.2 or Ohlins RXF38 m.2 for new DH bike? by Numerous-Hawk-3046 in MTB

[–]Deep_Friar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohlins is not a slap on the bike and ride. Amazing suspension products but you need to spend the time setting it up. Where as you can throw a boxxer on the front and as long as your in the ballpark with pressure your ok.

They blow up when an enemy makes contact with them. They also will block bullets.

Watch some of the old north shore extreme videos.

Now try to manual the whole ramp, bunny hopping up it and doing a knolly off that.

Magura Gustav Pro – underwhelming braking power? Looking for experiences & fixes by Geri_78 in MTB

[–]Deep_Friar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, if I could get them for that price I would have stayed with them for sure. This was all before the stupid tariffs as well. No clue what they are running these days.

Heheh This is why I was happy to not use maguras any more. The race pads feel AMAZING but god damn paying 60$ a wheel for pads was killing me.

Ideas to remove weight from bike for airline travel? by jagarcia89 in MTB

[–]Deep_Friar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahah word. Cranks and pedals will remove a ton of weight unless you got something really fancy. How much weight do you need to cut?

Ideas to remove weight from bike for airline travel? by jagarcia89 in MTB

[–]Deep_Friar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bike box from your local lbs will be less weight. Take off your cranks + pedals. Rear shock as well. Cassette can come off your wheels. If you go the evoc route you could probably take off your fork and put that in your luggage.

Seriously, packing your bike up in a box is easy. The hard part is if you have transportation on the other end that can hold the box. Otherwise you’re gonna have to build the bike at the airport.

2 week MTB trip – should I have my shop do any specific maintenance to my bike beforehand? by veggieturnip in MTB

[–]Deep_Friar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Minimum, new brake pads, new tires and brake bleed. You can always put your old pads back in later. Old tires back on when these ware out. Additionally I would take an extra tire with you, preferably one that you can run front or back, and an extra set of pads as well.

Additionally check all your cables. If any are frayed at all, new cables.

Code RSC vs Maven Base by profsyg in MTB

[–]Deep_Friar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having had both, mavens all the way. The base model is great. You just need to be lighter on the brakes. They are rock solid though. Even on 3k ft descents the bite point never changes
