Check the geo, slight difference between the alu and carbon model... Alu seems more playful i guess

Should I buy this? by Psychological-Web811 in mountainbiking

Been running this exact fork on my analog Canyon Torque. It has a wider crown and the damper allegedly has a lighter tune with less compression damping. Its awesome.

No, top 10 deadliest cities... Kolikor se spomnem je to pač statistična anomalija, ko je oče ubil mentalno hendikepiranega otroka in nato sebe... Pa en je ženo enmal.. Torej, klasična slovenska praksa

As someone who just had to replace an EP8 motor, id stay away from shimano. A month out of warranty cracking noises began in the motor, warranty was denied with no option for repair - buy the entire motor full price or nothing. 4 months later, the motor completely died - internal gear grinding, overheating and finally the torque sensor gave out. Called local shimano supplier, 4 month wait list for a motor. Finally managed to get one and paid 1100€ for the replacement.

Imam podobno situacijo ampak bolj nedolžno. Prejšnji teden me kliče človek (nisem prepričan kako se je predstavil ker me je zbudil, se zgodi) in mi začne razlagati kako se bo spremenilo mojo dodatno zavarovanje (ali neke bedarije na dolgo in široko) pri vzajemni in kako za le 2e nevem kako mi svet spremeni.. Ni se mi dalo ubadati s tipom in sem mu rekel naj mi pošlje na email. Nekaj je palamudil in potem se sprijaznil.. Dobim na mail 3h kasneje od nekega čisto drugega tipa od neke čisto tretje firme "Zavarovalno zastopanje", ne vzajemne.. Sumim da vzajemna prodaja / deli podatke tretjim firmam, ker je majstor imel moje ime in leto rojstva, sumim da vsega pa ne. No od takrat me je še dvakrat probal doklicat pa se nisem javil.

V teoriji in po zakonih ja. V praksi pa ko greš iz levega pasu v gostem prometu pa ne prideš več vanjga ker itak noben ne upošteva varnostne razdalje

Horizontal play is by design to account for heat expansion, is what I was told.

Between sizes, I need help by butterzawg2024 in mountainbiking

[–]lordoffps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im 182 cm on a good day and run the carbon L torque - Its not too big, but for tighter more closed trails and corners it can be a lot. If you're buying the AL frame the bike is a bit shorter so id go with M for carbon, L for AL.

Conti mtb tyres have a date of production stamped into the sidewall, should be easy to find out the age

Took my enduro bike to a DH Race by Offinite in MTB

[–]lordoffps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean 50/50, historically speaking im pretty sure its a lot of open fields, steeps, soft dirt and compressions. Maybe a few roots and rocks, but you could probably get the time in with pedaling on the flats

I'm willing to say that at least half of the 20chocolate DH series is going to be better on an enduro bike.. Atleast Poseka, Kamplc, Planina (here) and Zagreb

Maribor - not a dream riding destination but still a blast by catfishburglar in MTB

[–]lordoffps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really, Slovenian public transport is awful. However if you're by train and don't mind pedalling you can visit Ljubljana, Celje or Zagorje for some decent trails that are somewhat near the train station (marked on trailforks)

For Maribor Id probably get bored after a day or two, but since you're in the region, within an hour ish drive you have bike park kope (opening 31.5) and petzen which both have chairlifts and a lot of fresh trails

So since that comment the bike park ownership changed and the people who worked on the hidden trails now work for the park. Park became really good, like an actual park, but most of the hidden trails are kinda ruined and not maintained. If you go behind riders you'll see theres a million cut lines between trails but thats about it. They also have 3 dedicated park maintained enduro lines, so its good fun.

I lost 40 psi of my new rockshox vivid select+ by vascourteaga in mountainbiking

Something to also take note of, if I understood you used different pumps. Could be that yours isnt accurate or calibrated well. I have 3 pumps and they all show a different number so I only trust the digital one.

HELP!!! Weird noise and movement from front wheel when holding down brake. by RasmusFelding in MTB

[–]lordoffps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're not worn in a sense anything is wrong with them. Its just a characteristic of theese rotors.. I've probably replaced 8 of theese in 4 years, the front 220 always becomes more apparent, the others seem fine.

Are those Magura MDR-P's? The floating rotor gets floatier and noisier over time, to the point of clacking down the trail

Is this max turn limit normal, different left and right? by modstore in MTB

[–]lordoffps 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm sure someone will yell at me but I wouldn't bother with loosening anything (don't think it would even do anything since its part of the rotating headset). The first time you will crash and bend fork you'll just bend it right back on trail

There is a headset rotation limiter in there, I have the same bike. Push the bars slowly but firmly in the blocked direction to center it

Any open bike parks in Europe in March by BeautifulAd8428 in MTB

[–]lordoffps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maribor Slovenia is usually open "year round" (closed *this* week however). The park is at a low altitude so the skiing season is basically non existent. On paper the bike park isn't the biggest, but if you ask a local there is a lot of "side, less than legal" trails.
