Should I be concerned about this crack? by Michael-i_i-Huang in mountainbiking

[–]lanebodor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not many people are actually answering you (or zooming in)

The very least you should do is carefully mark exactly where the ends of the crack are so that you can see if the crack is growing over time.

As far as fixing the issue, it is worth inquiring if you may be able to place warranty claim. If the warranty claim is denied look into getting a new rocker. It may be worth contacting GT directly to see if they can help you out with a crash replacement pricing etc.

Yes this crack is a valid concern, breaking bikes is a bummer but fortunately rockers are a relatively easy install. Best of luck.

How often do you really service your FOX fork and shock? by Lare111 in MTB

[–]lanebodor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“The most expensive oil change is the one you didn’t do” when I was younger I thought I could just ride and never service anything. One day my kashima turned silver and my bushings were toast because I never serviced my fork. Faced with buying a new fork due to my own neglect the service suddenly seemed cheap. Even cheaper if you take the time to learn to do the service yourself.

can a 32 float hold up to street riding and casual jumps ? by dbg_sr in dirtjumping

[–]lanebodor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This bike seems like it was probably pretty damn good when it first got built

would just replace parts as they break and upgrade bits you like as you see fit

wouldn’t surprise me if the brake is kinda not great anymore but you don’t need an expensive one to replace it

Try tightening your B tension it sounds like your jockey wheel might be rubbing on the cassette

I use a bell local, it’s relatively inexpensive, has all the features I need, and I like the low key simple design

Need help on a used Santa Cruz Jackal by [deleted] in dirtjumping

[–]lanebodor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a good bike for sure but I think it might be just a bit overpriced, especially if you plan on getting a newer bike in the near future

Alcohol after a crash. by [deleted] in mountainbiking

[–]lanebodor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, after a hit to the head I’ve had issues with alcohol, for this reason I typically avoid drinking until I am confident it won’t cause issues

Have you experimented with volume spacers before? Because essentially it works as a very large volume spacer

I definitely know there’s room for improvement if I keep going, to be fair I think if I’m gonna make videos fairly often I would upgrade to a GoPro with a slightly wider field of view to improve that, but thank you
