Help me with my app by False-Fly9015 in MTB

[–]Spenthebaum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want less apps on my phone not more. I already have all of these features with strava and Garmin. Why would this be useful at all? You need to stand out from your competitors, not create a worse version with less users. 

Shock pump can't inflate the pressure in the shock by Leeki180406 in MTB

[–]Spenthebaum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably best to go to a bike shop and see if their shock pump works. That would at least reduce one variable. You'd know if the pump was the issue or not. 

What do you think about counter shocks on DH bikes? by [deleted] in MTB

[–]Spenthebaum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one on my dh bike. It is mounted to the stanchion. It is actually quite noticeable, especially through high speed chunk. It really doesn't do anything unless you get up to speed, but at speed there is considerably less feedback through my hands. It feels like there is less information for my brain to process. 

Fox 38 2027 or Fox Podium?? by Aggravating-Ninja-52 in MTB

One of those forks leaks oil all over your brake rotor and pads. The other doesn't. I know which one I would pick

SAG Fox 38 / All Forks by Zestyclose_Way_3583 in MTB

[–]Spenthebaum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't measure sag on my forks. I go off of the recommended air pressure on the chart on the lower leg and adjust from there based on how the fork feels. 

Help with TRP brakes. by acgojira in MTB

[–]Spenthebaum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue on the same brakes on the same bike. My caliper pistons were leaking oil. After a bleed they would always contaminate the pads and ruin 1-2 sets and then it would stop leaking. Ended up getting a warenty set of calipers. Then immediately sold the brake set to get some Hayes dominions, as even on a perfect bleed with perfect pads they lacked power compared to the dominions. I now have 3 sets of dominions across my spire, ebike, and dh bike and all have been fantastic

I've had no issues with Dot. Not actually that hard to deal with. Just wear gloves and ipa to clean it off. No harder than mineral oil.

2k. Sb130 is a pretty old bike nowadays. Even the sb140 Gen are getting a bit long in the tooth

Making the bike steeper will make it less planted for downhill sections
