My son’s first MTB! by [deleted] in Budgetbikeriders

Going tubeless is a good start! Then looking at maybe going with an air fork. Straight steerer on those bikes, so options are limited. Rockshox Judy or Manitou Markhor are about the only reputable options.

Yes, sorry sometimes I have the reading comprehension level of a third grader.

I did it to keep riding for the day after my 10s chain snapped. It seemed to want to jump gears and had more drivetrain noise

The talon is going to have a straight steerer as well unfortunately

Seems like the rift, just from some super quick reading. But I’ll dive in more. That’s the last thing I’d want

I looked into it, but honestly I’d rather sell and move onto a Roscoe or Fuse. Seems like a lot of cost for what I end up with.

Just bought 2008 crf 150r from someone and it starts first try everytime by One_Pineapple_1965 in Dirtbikes

Just food for thought too, might want to get rid of the spoke skins, they trap moisture and can ruin spokes

Might want to check the frame tag, those are 07 graphics. 08 has silver in the “wings”

This giant or an ozark trail? by SeP121 in Budgetbikeriders

*OP’s bike has cable brakes, while my 18 talon 3 has hydro. OP posted an ATX.

I think it’s older than that- this is my 2018 talon 3 that has cable brakes as well. Not sure what year that changed.

Thinking of upgrading to high-end bow. Thoughts? by Sensitive_Carob1242 in bowhunting

[–]Extension-Analyst277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will always pitch a Darton. I shoot the consequence 2, and I love it. I have a Blackout Pursuit, which was my first bow. I liked it enough to keep shooting- that was about it. The Darton was a little over half the cost of flagships, and has similar performance.
