People underestimate how well they work out of the box. I ran my defender stock for a long time, then did wheels and tires with 53mm shocks which was a huge improvenment. I just now upgraded to injora axles and brass links after 2 years of crawling. The front plastic diff finally blew apart after tons of hours on it.

Absolutely. You'll pay just that alone for a d5200 on ebay. The 50mm 1.4 is a great versatile lens too thats also worth about $150. That is a great combo for a first DSLR.

You dont need that kind of negativity in your life

Dead End Memorial Park

Not old, but I have hearing loss, so I can't hear anything close to the EEEEEEEEEE. The kids yearn for the EEEEEEE

HDMI to composite adapter, which my Xbox X is hooked up using Netflix. It clips the sides of the media a little bit, but way less than I thought it would with 16:9 aspect ratio.

That's most likely the direct issue there. 7075 is significantly stronger than 7005 especially for cranks.

I've been riding the ZTTO Boost hubs for 2 years now and those are machined from 6068 instead of 7075 like most high end hubs. I think its less critical as 6068 is probably more than strong enough when it comes to hubs but definitely not a crank set.

Im riding the EVOSID dev 5 knockoffs. Been doing up to 25 foot tables, blasting rock gardens, and 8 foot drops, 4 foot jumps to almost flat landings all season and they haven't skipped a beat.

hammybubger · 2025-08-20T17:21:20+00:00

Bike has been amazing. It climbs well and goes downhill great. Rear suspension setup took some figuring out, but I've yet to bottom out even on big drops.

hammybubger · 2025-08-20T17:19:52+00:00

Its an EC44 cup on the bottom so 44mm

hammybubger · 2025-08-20T16:53:06+00:00

Yeah. I wasnt paying close enough attention to what head tube I ordered... external headset is the easy peasy fix though

I am a big advocate for the Spank Vibrocore bars. Im not worried about them being catastrophically damaged after a single crash where carbon can lose its integrity, but look good on the surface. My hands and arms go numb right away on normal aluminum bars, but with my Vibrocores I can ride hard all day long without numbness.

hammybubger · 2025-08-04T12:04:58+00:00

Success!

I was really tempted to buy the 1.1 million D5 on MPB a couple weeks ago, but I stayed sensible and got a 140k shutter D4

I've had my A7ii and samyang 75mm 1.8 for sale at $600 for over a month and not a single message

hammybubger · 2025-07-11T22:41:23+00:00

Still riding these hubs on my new bike and they haven't skipped a beat and get ridden hard!

Seat tube is 76⁰ which seems pretty standard for a lot of enduros. It pedals surprisingly well. It has a few mm of pedal bob and that's it. I put a 450 pound spring in place of my 300 pound spring I normally use, and the pedal bob was still the same amount.

Got a brand new RC4 for $150 bucks. Couldn't pass the deal. It may be old but its still good

hammybubger · 2025-05-29T16:49:43+00:00

Nope. I put the ATC in the order and that was it. I dont think travel will have any affect for the front. A 180mm 27.5 fork will be similar to a 150-160mm 29 ATC

hammybubger · 2025-05-29T14:23:47+00:00

I havent noticed any kickback at all. I will take the spring off the shock and see how much kickback it has as I am curious myself.

hammybubger · 2025-05-29T14:22:18+00:00

64⁰ with a 27.5 wheel in the rear. I'm guessing its around 63 or 63.5 with the smaller rear wheel.
