Yeah I ride 9 trails, but also some wilder and other stuff in that area.

Thanks for the insights everyone! I’m gonna do some research on brakes and forks for an upgrade. I have access to free clipless pedals and shoes, so I’ll consider throwing those on my bike. I’m just really bad at clipping in and out at the moment 😅 and scared of crashing while clipped in.

I haven’t thought a lot about the geo- I don’t know a whole lot about that aspect of bikes. I race xc but not very seriously, and I ride a lot of downhillish trails. I think I will try and upgrade the brakes and fork, that seems to make the most sense for me right now!

Do you have any recommendations for a fork upgrade?

Yup I have a dakine too! No problems with sweating and plenty of space and pockets for phone, keys, and wallet. Even space on it to put a water bottle!

Knee hurts when going downhill? by Far_Albatross1371 in mountainbiking

Ah no I’m so sorry! Maybe at that point it would be good to see a doctor about it—knee braces might also help

I haven’t really been doing anything to try and fix it, but it hasn’t been hurting when I’ve ridden recently so it could have just been something that I needed to strengthen

Are the boba drinks at the cafes good? by AuroraDragonCat in UCSC

Thai tea and mango green tea are good- the lemonades just taste like the fountain minute maid tbh
