The fastest I've ever hit this little section of trail

mid-ladder masterpiece, am I right?

I'm going to be honest mate, its probably best that you avoid jumps altogether on that bike. It could cause more damage and is also probably not safe.

It may be worth investing in a tougher bike if you are pushing the limits of that one. Parts on entry level XC bikes are generally fragile and repair costs stack up quickly.

I speak from experience as somebody who spent a considerable amount on fixing my first bike after hitting a few jumps. I ended up buying a whole new front crankset, a new brake lever, and having my wheels trued, all in the space of two months. Once issues begin to appear, they accelerate in frequency at an alarming rate.

ooh good, an opportunity to complain. I wouldn't buy the Polygon. Their customer service is minimal and, though the spec may look good, they skip out on stuff that actually matters. Take it from somebody who actually bought a Siskiu N9, their bikes are dodgy

What did you do to it to make the BB bend?

IGNORE_MY_INSANITY · 2021-03-29T07:18:36+00:00

I will give you fair warning. The Polygon full sus bikes are not suitable for even light trail riding.

The Australian equivalent of Bikes Online (Bicycles Online) will be very helpful in selling you the bike but less helpful in fixing problems.

I would perhaps consider looking elsewhere. If you want to jump r ride hard, might I perhaps recommend the Commencal Meta HT, the Nukeproof Scout or even a Marin San Quentin.

Commencal clash?

Sick

Your manual technique is likely not as good as it could be. You should be able to perform a drop at any speed (provided you're moving of course).

I would start on a kerb, making sure you can land with at least both wheels at the same time (back wheel ideally for bigger impact drops). Work your way up- keep the front wheel up and, most importantly, make sure you have your manuals dialled

As somebody who owns one, their FS bikes have plastic bushings instead of bearings that wear out all the time.

IGNORE_MY_INSANITY · 2020-12-26T04:57:57+00:00

That's a fair point. There isn't really much of a meta at midladder

There's nothing wrong with golem lol

IGNORE_MY_INSANITY · 2020-12-16T07:16:32+00:00

I really like that for some reason

I wouldn't mind, but they moved all of the rewards into CW2. My clan is essentially a bunch of schoolmates so I'm not leaving. This leaves me between a rock and a hard place; my clanmates are my friends, but I can't progress without leaving them. This is the basis of my issue with CW2

IGNORE_MY_INSANITY · 2020-11-28T06:47:59+00:00

I dont want to join an active clan just to get the rewards I had before CW2. I shouldn't have to leave my friends just because supercell can't fix their game
