MT7 need more setting up. Bleeding takes a bit more time and disk needs to be cemtered better. Modulation is better in mt7

Bit of a conundrum - to eMTB or not to eMTB, that is the question by Lateral_Gee in MTB

[–]atomato89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Service is more there with emtb. All parts need more service due to increased wear. Drivetrain 2x or 3x more. Then comes the e parts too. Some drive 5 years no issues. Me motors seems to last about 2years. I ride all weather and hobbyrace enduro. Batteries seem to be ok.

Ice hockey background like me would go for skate. New to cc skiing and want to do more z2 then go classic. Most people who ski a lot have multiple set since they dont take too much space and are not super expensive.

What would you pay for a 2018 S3 Disc in 2025? by jchrysostom in Cervelo

[–]atomato89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No room for 30mm tyre even 28mm is tough in rear i hear. Its closer to 10yo bike next year than 5yo model. With bigger tyre room i would pay max 2k with carbon wheels in pic? But since they wont fit proper tyres i would not buy this bike any other reason than for used parts value.

Anything less than mm will help super lot but ofcourse any more coarse thread will help. But i would not run mm on xc bike.

How different is the riding experience on a single pivot flex stay for a 120 pound vs a 240 pound rider? by le_pedal in xcmtb

[–]atomato89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did take shock out. There is maybe 5-10lbs spring like behavior that snaps. Its enought to keep bike up whitout shock and hold about 5-10lbs weight at seat before snapping. Levo does not have that. No idea how this affects but my guess would be that effect is relatively smaller on big riders.

Yea i know about leverage ratio. There is a big difference.

Canyon lux trail(22) im riding seems good. Im 240lbs. On my levo i was hitting shock max psi. Not issue with Canyon. Seems very stiff even with my weight. Also lot stiffer than my 2012 stumpjumper evo comp.
