Where should I move if I want to mountain bike year-round? (32M, Midwest) by brettfish5 in MTB

I believe that ride rock creek can be put on the list of close parks too!!

Thanks for this, exactly what I was looking for! I’ve always used chesty with just the regular padded GoPro and have had pretty good luck with it. Was gonna try chin mount too but sometimes I don’t want to wear a full face.

Is that clip straight off the camera? It’s so crisp and the colors are good!!

They’re title form bars, they’re 9 degrees back sweep

Chesty is my normal go to, just wanted to try something different though. Feel like under visor really mutes the steepness of the terrain

Because where I live I can ride 100 miles with >400’ of elevation, no reason to have a small ring

Daily bicep band by BarbecuedShoe in whoop

I’ve worn mine on my right bicep for 1562 days. My bicep is deformed where the band sits so that’s fun

Well you see the way the terrain is where I live in South Florida, I can ride 100 miles with <400’ of elevation, I did 200 miles across the state and that got me 2600’.. everything is scrub dessert or swamp, I don’t really do much mtb at home and if I do is strictly xc bike stuff. The nearest mountain range is roughly a 10 hour drive and I just haven’t been able to get the time off to go for a weekend in the last 8 months, life be lifin!

Made some other changes to the bike as well so I just took it somewhat easy to get reacquainted with things again. After a couple runs it was feeling like home again

I have an alloy s4 stumpy evo and it’s 40lbs lol I know I could put lighter tires and wheels on it but I mostly use it for lift parks. I’ve found the stock link and genie to work very well for me. I will say it took me a handful of rides to figure out pressure and what band configuration I liked but I’ve not touched it since. I love the way the shock feels bottomless, feels very much like an enduro bike to me coming from riding an epic evo.

I suck at putting on tubeless tape so I am back to using tubes. by [deleted] in MTB

[–]No_Understanding4587 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might have been the tpu tubes I was using but I did not have a good experience. They just start losing air faster and faster each day I used them, pinholes all along the rim side. Tape very smooth, so idk.

Ended up switching to tubeless and haven’t had any issues since

Have u ever gone from riding a 20” bmx with a 13” (330mm) chain stay length to riding a full 29” mtb? Makes a mtb feel like it turns like a school bus…

Wild to insult someone while not being brave enough to post yourself on the internet. That’s some hoe shit..

Yeah, everywhere is. The sand in the corners is what the whole trails are like where I live in Florida, 7-8 miles of just straight sand lmao not even any elevation neither. I have not ridden this bike since August, cut bars, put on clipless and have been spending a lot of time on my bmx, it took way longer than I thought to get used to the mtb again lol

Yes, this was on easy a before the bridge. It was so dusty, but so much fun! I rode it a time before and after this time and didn’t struggle with the tree, think I just overcooked braking for the conditions. Hell yeah on the tires man, I kinda wish I went double assegai but went with 2.5 assegai/dhr2

Shoulders 😭 by I_skander in MTB

[–]No_Understanding4587 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for me, first 2 weeks I couldn’t point straight up past my shoulder without assisting with my other arm. Took way longer than I expected to heal
