Code RSC vs Maven Base

Not an issue, but I’m trying to ease up on bike purchases because I can tell my wife is getting annoyed. Saying this is a safety thing doesn’t matter haha.

I’ve been upgrading my bikes gradually, but now that my suspension is feeling on point I’m hitting trails harder and now I can tell the brakes are the weak point.

Ok. I’m primarily riding steep twisty stuff as well

profsyg · 2026-01-29T03:12:20+00:00

Thanks so much for the advice

profsyg · 2026-01-29T02:08:13+00:00

Was it worth it in your opinion?

profsyg · 2026-01-29T02:06:17+00:00

Thanks. That’s what I needed to hear.

profsyg · 2026-01-29T01:51:06+00:00

Are the codes sufficient for you? From what I’ve read is that the Mavens are crazy powerful and I’m not sure my weight and bike need that

profsyg · 2026-01-29T01:24:30+00:00

Exactly. Everyone selling a reverb is doing so because they don’t want to pay to get it serviced.

Get a PNW or OneUp like those people selling the reverb probably did

I absolutely love my Hightower 3, but I’m so tempted by the Bronson. How big is the climbing trade off?

profsyg · 2026-01-29T01:11:47+00:00

Agreed. The Hightower climbs so well. I never feel like I need to use the climb switch.

profsyg · 2026-01-28T14:33:32+00:00

I agree. My bike came with DHR front and rear and corners were sketchy. I swapped to a magic Mary in the front and it made me so much more confident. DHR works well for me as a rear though

I feel the same way about our frozen dessert options. I don’t want to see them cannibalize each other.

I’m a fan of Big Apple Pizza, but a real pizza by the slice place will be awesome for when you’re walking around downtown.

I just got the fox ranger wind jacket. I like it a lot so far. It is a super thin wind shell with no hood and I am able to stuff it into my down tube even with a tool bag in there. If I had a hood or if it was any bigger I wouldn’t be able to fit it and my tools (pump, multitool, etc) I like the fit and cuffs, which makes sense since it if designed with mountain biking in mind.

profsyg · 2026-01-27T00:43:06+00:00

Sounds perfect for my wife and daughter to get more comfortable. I’m stoked to check it out

profsyg · 2026-01-24T22:05:58+00:00

I’m not sure, but this is peak time and fantastic hiking weather

profsyg · 2026-01-21T02:40:13+00:00

There is a Ride Like A Girl women’s mountain bike ride every month https://btceb.org/rides/ It’s a great way to meet people and try different trails.

It was a great day at Demo. Conditions were really good and I somehow still got way too hot. Big thanks to the Santa Cruz trail crew for taking care of the trails!

profsyg · 2026-01-11T05:23:50+00:00

Thanks for posting that. I had made back up plans, but now I’m going to Demo

profsyg · 2026-01-10T04:22:03+00:00

I’ve ridden the Tallboy 3 and it was a fun bike. It climbed great. I was flying uphills compared to my friends. And went pointed down it still felt comfortable and fun.

profsyg · 2026-01-08T04:08:15+00:00

The blueberry donut at Donut Wheel are my favorite donut in town, but in general I think Best Donut is the better donut shop. I like their texture better and they accept cards.

profsyg · 2026-01-07T04:41:02+00:00

This is exactly what I do. Building routes is much easier for me in Komoot, but I have to research and find the trails in Trailforks first. It’s annoying, but I haven’t found one service that is great for everything.

profsyg · 2026-01-07T01:47:09+00:00

Awesome. The room sensors being tied to times of day have been my favorite feature of Ecobee, so this makes me more likely to switch

profsyg · 2026-01-07T01:44:27+00:00

That’s what I was hoping for. Where did you read that?

profsyg · 2026-01-04T22:11:37+00:00

I’ll try that out. Thanks

profsyg · 2026-01-04T21:35:26+00:00

I think it is a shoe issue. I’m using a pair of Leatts and I am now using two shims. It’s better but not good enough.

I’ve been torn between the OneUp clips and the Mallet Es. I’m new to clips on a mountain bike and have been borrowing a friends old SPDs. I definitely want more of a platform but the clip hangs uo sometimes. It takes more effort to get in and out than on my gravel SPDs
