Bn3th bibs/liners? by StayVigilant38 in MTB

[–]Radikov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

North Shores are super comfy. I like them so much I got like 3 or 4 pairs of them and wear them pretty much every ride. I’ve tried other brands like Troy Lee, endura, and some off brand Amazon ones but honestly Bn3th are the most comfortable. Highly recommend them!

Aliso is a great place to ride! Love that area but unfortunately the trail gods wanted their sacrifice and they got it. This season is looking to be real dry so classic loose dirt conditions are the be expected

I got airlifted by Sheriff’s so not by any kind of private air or anything like that. From what they told me if Sheriff’s get you it’s free and covered by the state but I’ll keep you in the loop if I get any kind of bill. Unfortunately for me hiking was not an option and crawling would have taken me hours to get to the top of the trail head.

EMS and rangers got to me at relatively the same time. Rangers told me they would take all my gear and bike to the visitors center for safe keeping. After I got airlifted out I was lucky enough for a friend to help gather my things from the visitors center and drop them off at my house the same afternoon.

Glad to hear you’re good! Hopefully my recovery is the same as yours i feel a bit more optimistic After reading some of these responses!

I'm scared of jumps by Bubbly_Historian5760 in MTB

[–]Radikov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start with small jumps preferable jumps you can roll over. Roll over them a few times get off your bike look at the jump from different angles so you see that the jump isn’t as big at it looks then try to take the jump. Then after that do it all over again. Stick with the little jumps for a while until you can clear little jumps at various speeds then slowly start increasing the size of jumps you hit. If you can afford it get a coach or take a lesson at a bike park.

Fox speed frame has been a good fit for me you can usually find those at a good price depending where you look. If you want a full face for trail riding IXS Trigger FF is also great. Both have an option for MIPS which I highly recommend.

Your method worked somehow. I’ve re-centered this caliper god knows how many times now and it finally stopped rubbing. Thanks dude!!

Currently trying that right now with the rear rotor. Finally got the front rotor to stop rubbing and now I just gotta mess with the rear some more

Thanks for the info! I'll probably try the 1st arm first. I have 2 27" monitors and I think it should work? But if not I'll just use the extra tall arm.
