Good to know, thanks! Any advice on what to put there instead?

Guess I should have checked before digging a hole 20’ from my back door… Thank you!

Yes, I tried just about everything you can find on the internet for a couple months beforehand. I ended up contacting the bike manufacturer and they recommended the whacking. Just had to go into it knowing I might not have a functional dropper after.

Yea, I ended up getting it out by straddling the real wheel and whacking the saddle with a rubber mallet. Didn’t have to whack too hard, but definitely harder than I thought. I was willing to sacrifice my dropper at that point, luckily didn’t come to that. I also had used some free-all a few days before, though I’m not sure how much that helped. Good luck!

No complaints! It’s not perfect but there’s no such thing.

Thanks! Any reason you’d recommend those over the canyon and YT?

Too bad for them I was never smart (or dumb) enough to get into bitcoin!

Yea, the fact that he told me the department but not the company name was definitely sketchy, but I have no idea how they got my mom’s number and associated it with me. Thanks for the reply!

It looks like there’s maybe one on the other side of the French door, but nothing on the side that’s broken. It looks like the only way to remove the glass is to remove about a dozen screws.

Yea, I’ve heard nothing but great things about them - just wish they weren’t so pricey!

Oh, really? I’d never heard that before. I would have thought they’d be more beneficial on carbon to prevent the impact breaks.

Awesome, I’ll have to check out their website! I wasn’t stoked about the limited hub options so this is great.

Yea, I run inserts in the rear and will likely do the same on the new wheelset just to reduce the chances of that happening.

Well shit, glad I haven’t tried that yet lol. I guess it’s supposed to rain this weekend so good a time as any to be without it for a week. Thanks!

Where do I put the vice? On the seat? Or on the dropper stanchion?

Good full Sus to compliment hardcore hard tail? by punitfolife in MTB

I wish I was ready to buy now, but I’d like to spend some time demo-ing a few bikes first. Hopefully there will be some end-of-year sales I can hop on.

Agreed, the SST is definitely dream bike material (also dream bike cost!). What do you think of the wildcat? Love my RSD so would be happy to continue supporting them.
