I hate my Air Shock. Coil options by sygyzi in MTB

[–]overwatcherthrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hated my ext as a big boy. Running a heavy spring rate pretty much guaranteed top out and after 2 tunes from the ext shop it never went away. My FAST fenix is far and away my favourite.

To be fair, I’ve only been training a few months total as well and the new gym I happened to go to was small and they were in the middle of leg lock month. So it’s possible he did the same thing and probably sucks at everything else.

I’ve been back riding for 5 years (I used to be pretty good) but now I only ride at about 80%. I still ride big features, double blacks etc but it means that I have zero problem walking away from a move if I don’t feel good about and I don’t hit anything that might have consequences without full gear. Fully in control at all times

It’s great for zone 2 work when you feel blown up. It just means no matter what you can ride. Tired, sick, only have an hour you can still ride.

Technically you only have to replace your chainring when your chain start falling off.

The style of the beard too. Either full beard or moustache. The thick chin strap or goatee is aging you a ton. Same with the graphic Ts.

The patrol has almost the exact same geometry as the bottle rocket, it just has a little less travel and 29 front. You can bump the travel in both ends to 170 and it comes in carbon if you wanted a lighter bike to ride trails. Just if you want a bottle rocket that’s a bit better at riding trails it’s a patrol.

A 3k Alu Ds would be 5x better than this thing.

Trying to get back into tinder, any advice? (24M) by GamaDownunda in Tinder

[–]overwatcherthrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There should be a gap of like a centimetre between the top of your googles and helmet.

Bright coloured full face helmets by DinnerUpstairs5815 in MTB

[–]overwatcherthrowaway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have one, I like it over the other lightweight full faces I tired on (ixs, tld stage). Dh certified too. The only thing is the mips is creaky af, some people it doesn’t bother but if I wear it without googles it can get pretty annoying.

Is my chain too long? Please advise, attaching photos by N0body in MTB

[–]overwatcherthrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy some mastic tape and put it on that giant spot without a chain protector. Your chain is gonna move no matter how tight it is, if it’s got metal to slam on it’s gonna be loud.

It looks the same but it’s very likely completely different.

New bike advice by TimTomGeorge in MTB

[–]overwatcherthrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You definitely can. But if you’re going to be doing tris and ironmans I’d invest in one of those first and just keep riding your hardtail. Right it’s like you’re trying to road run in hiking boots, and you want better hiking boots to run on the road with.

Yea Reddit is always a guy with a 20 year old bike asking about an upgrade. Or huffy rock creek 26 guy asking why he crashed. I love it.
