    I'm so glad for the modernization of XC bikes. My local XC race is adopting more wrinkles every year including adding a few rock features, a few additional jumps here and there, ect... I'm already pushing my 120/115 just riding that course.

    hmmm... not so simple in practice... it looks more complicated than the park tool tutorial and the steps are different... sram tutorial is not very helpful... that's confusing... I just changed my sram eagle chain by counting (several times) the number of links and now I can't reach the 2 smallest sprockets anymore...chain was about 4 years old but that's quite a lot... i don't think limit screws became unadjusted so I suppose the only right thing to adjust is: the barrel... but could the barrel adjust that much space? ... let me see.

    #AskGMBNTech I saw a chart from the pros closet and it showed that 54% of XC World Cup wins are riders using RockShox suspension. For the Downhill world cups 68.2% of the winners are using Fox suspension. I this is the case for these two disciplines then why aren’t riders using the more commonly winning brand? I know sponsorships happen and all but don’t the racers want every performance gain that they can get?

    I have a 2009 Specialized Epic. It came with 100/100mm travel, 29x1.9 tires on i18mm rims, 3x9 drivetrain, and road bike like geometry. The new Epic comes with 120/120mm travel, 1x12 drivetrain, 29x2.3 tires on i30mm rims, and progressive modern Trailbike geometry. I consider all these changes are for the better.

      The Spur is probably still the best XC/Downcountry bike ever made. However, the new Specialized Epic 8, Pivot Mach 4, and Yeti ASR might be nipping at it's heels.

    @The-Jokes-on-You 2 години тому

    They need to have a retro or vintage class for 26" riders. Modern geometry & new tech is phenomenal & truly much nicer to ride, but much like riding single speed there is just something spiritual & nostalgic about racing/riding old tech.

    a bike fit only really works if your going to spend all day sat in the saddle and not move around the bike otherwise it's kinda wasting your money just go with your ball park frame size and tune the components to get the fit you need.....how the bike feels is way more important - i'm 5'10 and only ride small bikes - 70mm stem and 125mm dropper

    Would be interested to see this repeated with the same shape/size/manufacturer of bar to minimise variables, but with two more bars in both 31.8mm and 35mm clamp sizes - i.e. 4 bars total, carbon and alloy, both in the different clamp sizes. Renthal Fatbars might be the ticket? I'm convinced 35mm bars were a step backwards in comfort and going from a 35mm carbon bar to a 35mm alloy bar to a 31.8mm alloy bar recently has been eye-opening!

    Ive always had aluminium frames and clamp on the top tube, you only need to tighten it lightly just to hold it in place. Ive never understood why you would clamp it on the seat post as i would have thought it places alot of stress around the seat tube area, especially with carbon. frames.

    • @rupedog
