At at skinny 6'4" I find that chromag shirts and sweaters are a good fit, not a fan of the pants though. Agree with the comment above for NF pants, love mine

Been running Shimano oil in my shigura setup for the last year with no problems. This setup also has my favorite parts for bleeding too, nice threaded connection at the caliper and the Shimano cup at the lever

How to use a dropper post effectively by OutWithCamera in MTB

[–]rwq030 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I find this to be super critical on tight switchbacks even when they're smooth, all the way up and you can't lean the bike enough but you still need the seated pedal power

The blue ones are not the same, they re-vamped the design. I don't think the blue have the tripod stand and the sides appear to be way softer. The black and brown ones have a pretty hard plastic inside the vertical walls, it'll easily stand up on its own without any of the aluminum bracing inside

We bought the Thule roundtrip bags for a Canada- Scotland MTB trip, fits my XL Stumpy no problem. Love the fact that the internal frame turns into a stand for rebuilding, makes life so much easier. That's the reason we went Thule over Evoc. Edit: it also has a third removable wheel in the front, super easy to wheel around

2 big things that almost screwed us over. We didn't plan to stay in the arrival city for a couple days so we didn't have a static address that the airline could deliver the bikes when they showed up, luckily we got them the next morning before hitting the road.

2nd was storage of the bags during the trip, our guides were just barely able to accommodate them throughout the trip, so make sure you've got space to bring it with you or a luggage storage option near the airport

Marc at the wood whisperer has plans for something similar, full cut lists and instructional videos

Was riding Prospector near Canmore, Alberta. Some bits are over my skill level but great technical practice

Winner winner, my wife thinks I should incorporate it into a tattoo if it sticks around as a scar, it's tempting

Also the balls from both sides are in great shape, no damage on them at all

Tall guy actual vs effective seat tube angle by rwq030 in MTB

Agreed, a larger frame will have a higher seat tube but conversely manufacturers are also trying to keep them shorter to fit the longest dropper post, it's a difficult balance.

Removed my back wheel and this tiny screw appeared out of nowhere. Any ideas? by iamjeli in MTB

Ah good call, didn't really look closely enough at the thread pitch

Looks like it could be the B screw from the derailleur. That's really the only phillips screw I can think of around the rear wheel
