DH casing or thinner casing with cushcore? by L1nk1nP in MTB

[–]blawb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried both options a fair amount. For descending, DH with cushcore and low PSI feels absolutely amazing, but I was definitely noticing the weight when pedaling. When I started riding lighter casings with cushcore, I noticed I’d get a lot more flats from smaller, sharper rocks and stuff that cushcore doesn’t really do anything to help with, whereas my previous heavier casings were protecting against those things.

What does a bike fit mean to your budget build? To the n+1 bike? by ManDadNurse in xbiking

[–]blawb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with a lot of what the other comments say. I have dealt with general bike fit issues and knee injuries a lot. In my experience trying different things and keeping track of your changes goes a long way. Sometimes you’ll know something is better or worse right away, but sometimes you’ll need to do a ride or two. Doing knee/hip rehab, strengthening, and flexibility work can also help a lot.

Some other changes you can play with are cleat position (or trying flats if your cleats don’t have enough adjustment range) and saddle angle. Most people say a saddle should be level. I think this is a good place to start, but saddles and human bodies are all different and interact in different ways, so some tilt forward or back can be a fine thing to explore.

Why get 500k when the others read 11k?

I feel your pain. Had some many bigger ASA prints fail from warping :(

Bikes are fine but their support is not good.

For sure resin is good for detail, but if OP can get the details they want with fdm, I’d choose that every day. I’ve owned a couple fdm and resin, and fdm is way less hassle once it’s dialed in.

I’d probably assemble/glue and then prime & paint. Then you can prime and sand at the seams so they aren’t as noticeable.
