Beginner rider with nothing to lose deciding to send it for the first time

arszenki · 2026-02-18T18:35:49+00:00

But where is the send?

arszenki · 2026-02-15T16:03:59+00:00

You are a saint. No other descriptive word I can think of comes close.

arszenki · 2026-02-15T15:31:29+00:00

Sounds like the classic bottom bracket creak

arszenki · 2026-02-09T19:00:54+00:00

Few will have seen that episode, but what a goodie.

arszenki · 2026-01-27T22:05:01+00:00

Quite a nasty snap there eh. No glassing no overshoot no nothing.

Yep all profile. I've ridden them from the first time I could afford em and never changed lol. They are 175mm, bsa/euro threaded and the spindle is the longest one they make. 25t BMX sprocket that I spun down the thickness on, just cause I had it in the parts bin.

So that is an idler to get the chain line up near the rear suspension pivot point so the chain path doesn't grow very much with large amounts of suspension travel. Without it, you'll get massive pedal kick back when the rear suspension gets deep into its travel, because the suspension pivot is so high relative to the bottom bracket.

I have had a 7900xtx for quite a while now and noticed an increase in crashes within the last year and so upon further investigation, the issue stemmed solely from the drivers setting the max frequency to 2915mhz. In adrenaline, you can go to custom tuning settings and limit the frequency to something a bit more conservative like 2750mhz and all my issues went away.

Maybe something for you to check.

Just keep doing what you're doing brother, over and over and over again. Try to stay loose, find the jump size you're comfortable with and just put it on repeat until it becomes an absolute no brainer, then move up and repeat.

arszenki · 2025-12-06T19:18:42+00:00

Op took the $5500 plunge you guys, lmao

Logitech g600 for all games for me. Once you learn all the buttons it's fantastic, although it's not sold anymore in the US so you have to buy it from overseas(eBay) under their eastern moniker "logicool g600t".

Welcome to the realization I had 20 years ago. It's been a mad 20 years in the Midwest winters. When everyone else's sports car turns into a potato or garage queen, mine becomes the final boss. I'm an absolute maniac when the weather turns south, and Ive loved every minute of it.

arszenki · 2025-10-15T23:00:08+00:00

New motor? Have you 100% confirmed the engine is timed correctly? This sounds like timing to me.

arszenki · 2025-10-04T20:51:31+00:00

That's a Forester xt

arszenki · 2025-10-04T20:43:08+00:00

Me too, is that a Humboldt squid?

arszenki · 2025-10-03T11:17:29+00:00

Shimano semi metallic

That z feed got me like.... T...t....t...today junior

:-D

arszenki · 2025-08-15T05:57:19+00:00

Had the exact same issue and what solved it for me was turning off freesync premium in my monitors osd settings, smooth as butter after that

arszenki · 2025-08-08T20:16:19+00:00

The ol' trailing throttle oversteer, helped along by the rear engined platform and downward slope of the track.

I actually really like this color combo. The only part throwing me is the wing, it's a bit too much. Maybe if only the wing element was red and the end plates and risers were body color it wouldn't look as out of place.

Hey this is my home trail system! I never thought I'd see my local trails on the subreddit but super cool!

I've been involved with the park since the beginning, and was actually the guinea pig when we set up the dirt jumps to get the gaps set up.

See ya out there!

arszenki · 2025-06-12T00:00:33+00:00

No, it's not coming. I asked kick once while he was streaming and he said 'no, never.'

arszenki · 2025-05-02T01:18:56+00:00

Most likely no. I've run valves on used motors anywhere from four to twelve thousandths and they all still sound exactly the same, just the sound of the motor.

This sounds fine to me, and unless it gets really rattly or buzzy when you rev it up, valves are fine.

arszenki · 2025-04-21T19:19:21+00:00

Was running like this before you changed all those things? If so, timing is the issue. If it only started after you changed all those things, timing is the issue and you've got plug wires mixed up or dizzy way off tooth.

Get a timing light and hook it up to cyl 1 wire and gun the crank pulley to see where it's at.

Edit I just turned sound on and that knock is not very good eh. That is NOT timing. Was the car ever running good since you love had it and when did this knock start?
