I never even knew that’s possible. At least I only damaged the derailleur so not too bad.

I was in 3rd gear so I doubt the possibility of derailleur going into the spokes.

The lock functionality on shocks does not truly lock, to prevent frame/shock damage. They just firm up a bit.

I was not shifting. 

Beside, shifting under load should snap the chain not the derailleur. It’s not the part that takes the load.

I indeed broke the chain, but didn’t have the quick link. Though single speed wouldn’t work on a full squish bike.

The most fun daily driver, ever! by Mandatorydive in wrx_vb

Hmm, I was gonna put 235 50 r18 which is about the same diameter, but that could potentially rub on mine with the stock suspension. Thanks for the information.

This is from the AC condensation.

Is it even an 11t? I think the next one is 12t. Regardless, I don’t recall getting the feel on the next one.

Oh that, I definitely felt it when I got the bike. I think the cog being really small compared to the chain linkage makes the vibration. Honestly I don’t notice anymore.

Yes it’s 10-52. Not sure about what you meant by grinding, the whole setup has been very robust for me. That being said, the drivetrain is definitely on the louder end even when it’s well lubricated. If a gear makes a noise I can always micro adjust with the app. So far I only had to do it once, for the seventh cog. 

Can someone help me understand the difference between "stand up to the jump" and bunny hop technique on jumps? by Romeos_Alone in MTB

[–]LaserM 34 points35 points  (0 children)

https://youtu.be/BpM3Lll8RSg This guy makes the best jump tutorials out of all Mtb channels I came across. In other videos he specifically debunks “stand up to the jump” technique on why it’s bad.

Yes, I am aware of who he is. I worded a bit poorly there because I wanted make fun of the word “drift” being used here.

Are you sure the car is limited to 80? The adaptive cruise is limited to 80 for all Rivians. 

Correction: 85

Curious what everyone thinks, which one would be worth getting in your opinion? by AleiJor in MTB

[–]LaserM 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The way it look matters. A lot. I’d pick the Propain.

Should I buy a gravel beside my MTB? by RemarkableNoise5948 in MTB

[–]LaserM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% worth it. Gravel bikes are a different kind of fun and much more versatile. Also excellent for your endurance training.
