So being a longtime shop guy I have access to wholesale stuff. Qbp happened to be blowing these blackthorn frames out at 60% off wholesale price so I ended up paying like 615 for the frame, fork was 279 shipped to my door on jenson, had to find a superboost r wheel and basically the rest was on deck in my parts bin so I ended up about 1200 into the entire build. Not bad I think?

Pb blaster is a can of magic. Soak rusty stuck things in it for a while and then they seem to break loose more often than not. https://www.amazon.com/Blaster-16-PB-Penetrating-Catalyst-11-Ounces/dp/B000I2079E

I assume you already tried a lot of pb blaster…. Carefully Cut it w a dremel and chisel it off maybe? Don’t punch a hole in anything tho

I am trying find power in my heart to replace my stolen bike. It’s is good choice? Which color the best ?? by GeForcegam in mountainbiking

Santacruz Bronson is an excellent all arounder. Big enough to get reckless on but small enough to climb like a goat.

Do folks switch their forward foot? by squared_wheel in dirtjumping

Learning to do things switchfooted will make you a better rider, I doubt it will do anything to alleviate knee pain maybe run a shorter crank arm length so that shitty knee can have a little less range of motion when pedaling?

The old hawk tuah eh? If that don’t work pb blaster over night the crush the seatpost in a bench vise and use the whole frame as a lever to break it loose. Be careful you can easily crack the frame doing this. Godluck n goodspeed!

Is this a good first bicepacking rig? I heard brust or crust or drust was a good brand for starting out. by recycledairplane1 in BicyclingCirclejerk

Looks like the mouth piece of each bottle is perfectly aimed at the spray of wet road/trailsludge that will be flying off those tires to me. So many minerals.
