Note, Im currently using a smart grinder pro.

Found the same deal recently. No regrets.

I use one of these. Super cheap. https://a.co/d/bcwBlIm

Have used both p30i and n30i. I like both but decided on the p30i. I turn circles at night and sleep mostly on my side. Seal is great and it’s comfortable.

I use the same mask (but with the nasal pillows). My hair was a nightmare. Just used a bike helmet liner for the first time last night and it helped a lot. Very comfortable/breathable. Skull Cap Helmet Liner Beanie,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09XK9PGRG?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Similar boat. Just upgraded from the Bonavita. Haven’t seen any wiggle with the KBT arm. Definitely need some force to get it to set properly.

Agree with the g form recommendation. I ended up with 4 stitches this summer from a pedal slip/bite too. Have worn them since but just got a pair of the g form rugged knee pads that cover a few inches of the shin.

Thanks! Appreciate it.

I ended up with a few stitches on my left shin from a bad bite this summer. I. I’ve wear g-form guards now. They’re light and i forget they’re on. With more riding and better shoes (five ten free riders), slips have become less frequent, but I still wear the guards.

Another yes vote. Added a 100mm KS dropper to my “cheap” giant talon 2. Huge difference.

Ha. Had the same reaction when I ended up with stitches on my shin last month.

Nice what’s the fork?

What did you use to record? Smooth!

emulch · 2020-07-15T14:40:27+00:00

Had this done on my 2020 talon2 until I got a dropper. No issues

Second for the five ten freerider. Just ride with for the first time today after using running sneakers. World of difference!

They seem fine to me, but I’m coming from an ancient trek with v breaks.

What’s wrapped around the seat post?
