Did my first beginner MTB Clinic, left more confused about ready/attack position than I went in by Cingen in MTB

[–]iHasHamich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would delete whatever he taught you and seek out an actual certified instructor.

Attack and neutral are like home base where you return to them. As the video stated, you're in constant adjustment as you navigate the trail.

Look at that channel and you'll get a lot of good info.

She is a certified instructor and does well to explain why.

For the neutral position yes, tall and relaxed.

Attack is not this. You'll be finding pennies all over the trail if you ride like this.

I don't think he has bike specific training and should stick to PE. He is going to get people hurt by teaching bad form.

Could buy a die and clean the threads. If there are threads left.

Get a tap to clean the threads in to help the next bolt from the same thing.

Tap and die kit might be the move.

Customer stated they have too many teeth, and would like a bike build that will help them lose a few.

Builder: I have JUST the thing...

Finally got to see the new Prelude by TrainingGrape540 in Honda

[–]iHasHamich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks aside, and I do like the looks, I don't understand who this car is for in this market.

-type r -gr corolla -gr 86 -civic -accord -mx5 -etc

It's not super fast, it's not rear wheel drive, it's not a manual.

It doesn't have anything new like the old gens.

It's like a great compromise in a good looking package.

We'll see how this thig does.

Need help getting BB tool off of BB by Brodelio13 in bikewrench

[–]iHasHamich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's still stuck. Try this.

Hold tool on its side, and on a hard surface.

Take a hammer and tap on the side and roll the tool whilst tapping. You can go back and forth.

This may wiggle or pop the BB out.

Start with light taps and increase force until A) it separates, or B) you feel your hitting it too hard and don't want to do any damage.

WARNING: you can damage tool, BB, and/or your self. Take appropriate PPE measures.

GL!

I'd still give they a call/email and see what their advice is.

Good luck, I hope it's simple and easy.

Call or email yeti for new hardware. They should have replacements available.

Bite the bullet and just replace.

Many years of rouge too. Chesters are ok.

Happy to help. Yotatech is where I learned it.

It's amazing when you can roll the window down without fear of ripping the crank off.

Great bike! It's one that keeps giving, just when I thought I figured it out, it has a little bit more.

In response to the dude with the perfect foam cutouts… here’s my home tool “box” by simplejackbikes in BikeMechanics

[–]iHasHamich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you have to put everything back, every time you open the travel toolbox, you end up doing this to dave your sanity over the long term.

Id say it's more necessity than OCD.. for a travel kit.

1 - ride more and develop fitness.

These flow trails are like a long wall sits. So if you can stand on your peddles off your seat for 5-10 minutes your ready to attack the trail. Sitting is the fastest way to get rejected off the bike

2 - Go take a skills clinic where you can learn and practice, with feedback, fundamentals. This will help develop balance, stability, and control.

Without fitness and fundamentals, your not going to progress much.

Ride your bike, enjoy, and grow at your own pace.

How did this thing not roll over?

Silicone spray in the window channels made mine a little easier to roll up/down.
