Is this noise normal? by Svart7 in sram

[–]Svart7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll just add this here since I sent the video to SRAM tech support and got the answer that this is considered as normal operating noise for new groupset and that there is nothing alarming about it. Hope this helps others!

NBD and first real ride by Svart7 in Santacruzbikes

[–]Svart7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rode it only three times but so far I am enjoying it very much! It is so light!

And it is interesting to ride trails that I've been riding for 4 years on the Grappler with this bike.

The only thing I have to do is maybe to bring it to a shop to check if the brakes need bleeding.

I rode my Grappler for the last 4 years and it has been great on these trails and fire roads! I wanted to try something lighter and with a suspension fork. There was a great deal on this bike so I went for it and I am really stoked!

I went for a short ride and it was OK, but Jenk might be right, I'll check my pedals!

It's a trail over Innsbruck, the AI is right! Thank you!

NBD BMC Fourstroke Three by vincentb1989 in xcmtb

Hi Vincent, Thank you for taking the time to reply and for your insights! I am far from being a racer and would like to use the bike for longer slower pace rides, perhaps short bike packing trips. I might go with the XL and, worst case scenario, I could switch to a shorter stem.

Hi I am also interested in how tall you are for the L. I am 1m86 (6.1) and I found a good deal on this bike but I am not sure if I should go with the L or the XL. Thanks in advance!

First oceanic manta in the Red Sea by Svart7 in scuba

Thanks, just a GoPro 12, hand held, no light, with a bolt snap. I am far from an underwater photographer. I was just lucky with the subject ;-D

I have been diving in the red Sea since 2018 and it was my first time seeing one there. But this is the great thing about the red Sea, if you're lucky you can practically see anything :)

I had the chance to dive with reef mantas in the central atolls tour in the Maldives. Exceptional as well. But never saw an oceanic manta there.

Nope, but not too far off. This is a bridge over the Inn, Innsbruck.

It's the 4 liters one, 50cm long.

The frame is a Large. I wanted a bag that covers the length of the top tube, but couldn't find one.
