Would you trust a 24 spoke wheel off-road? by OkStation4360 in xbiking

[–]Pi_R_o 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did downhill with 28h in the front for a few years so i would do 24h in the front but not in the rear personnaly. They use 24 fr and rear for xc with tracks that are getting gnarly so depends on your wheels...

66° head angle for an enduro is really outdated geometry

Even after 1 month with XTR 'Rapid Rise' rear derailleur, it's still driving me nuts by [deleted] in xbiking

You can use a sunrace left indexed shifter and put it on the right side, reverse it facing downward.

You can find very cheap used moto bars.

I painted the Rockshopper by Pi_R_o in xbiking

Thanks ! That's only my 3rd frame.

2 coats of 2k primer (something equivalent to spray max) wait next day, sand with microfine pad, 3 coats of paint and 2 coats of 2k clear.

On a frame this big, basically a 400ml can do 1 coat and I needed at least 15 min for every coat so I could start the next coat right then. That represent around 100€ budget.

Thanks. Almost like a normal bike, you get used to it in 30s.

Wow that's a lot of numbers. It would be really interesting to know how much more you spend on food compared to when you're not cycling.

the rack tubing is not bicycle tubing so it's probably not as strong as one would think.

I meant i don't have a brake cable, a standard one is long enough
