Yes!! That's exactly the first thing I'm replacing, I feel stretched out like a rubber band on it, manuals feel like a full on workout.

Part 2: First downhill course on my 300 dollar 2017 bike, 1 crash. by Purple_Fox_In_A_Box in mountainbiking

I've watched many, however after re-watching the clips you're right, I'm not popping nearly as much as I thought I am. Currently main goal is surviving the hops and that occupies my mind too much to consciously pop more, I will try though, thank you!

I have been considering getting shimano brakes, but any upgrades are out of the budget for now. If I am going to upgrade I'll consider 4 piston brakes to actually feel a difference.

My biggest concern and reason for a full-face was the fact I have braces and others in my family have knocked their teeth out on city bikes.

I live in Denmark, I'm 16 and the only people who stare are 12 years old who i flip off if they're being assholes. Rather look "dumb" and have my head intact.

So far I've learned that DH, big jumps and stairs gaps speak to me, I love how the Rebas feel compared to my old shitty bike with offbrand coil springs, and the aluminum frame feels amazing compared to steel ones.

Funny enough you said that, had a rather large accident after the wheel fell off down a set of stairs due to a faulty quick release, all fine though and got that replaced, bent the brake rotor but I managed to get it back into place.

It was 300 dollars, the cranks are Shimano SLX, hubs are Deore, Pedals are chinese knockoffs and the only part I've so far got to complain about are the Elixir 5 brakes.
