    XT M8000 loud AF in 46t.

    last time i had too much noise coming from my drivetrain in bigger cogs it was b-tension.. can't tell how tight the gap is in that video but may be worth giving that a little more room and see if it helps

    Illegal trails off the top of Tourne.

    agreed that there are places in NJ that have fun descents that are long and some challenging. the big difference to me isn't simply that there isn't an easy way up, its more that you have to typically cover significant amount of ground in order to get from one descent to another. so over the...

    Illegal trails off the top of Tourne.

    funny you mention that - I'm local to that area and have always thought that Snow Bowl would be good candidate for this type of a mtb system, but I hadn't heard that this had ever been considered. thanks for the suggestion!

    Illegal trails off the top of Tourne.

    not a knock on the Tourne specifically - but if NJ had more purpose built DH/enduro oriented trails there would be less people creating their own rogue descents. I know this won't be a popular opinion here but I think there's truth to it. If you go into PA or NY there are lots of options for...

    Fox Float X2 not holding air

    @Andypowerful hey how did this end up resolving? I am experiencing the same issue.. haven't sent back to Fox yet but would be good to know what they did so I don't end up getting it back with the same problem like you initially did

    Collegeville Pa?

    Evansburg state park is in Collegeville - i have some buddies who live in the area and ride here frequently. apparently there are some really fun trails in that park. Then there's Spring Mountain, which used to be known as Launch Bike Park that's about 15 minutes away. The bike park is closed...

    This Thread Blows - C19 and beyond

    some people may not want to go out after being vaccinated due to the potential risk to family members who are not vaccinated (such as children), as it has not been determined that the vaccine prevents infection or ability to spread the virus

    Question for Ibis Ripley owners... ??

    i'm 5'11 and rode one in a size M (don't own a ripley). I wouldn't have purchased a Medium, would prefer large at my size, but i wouldn't say it was 'too small'. If i were a couple inches shorter, i think i'd have gone M.

    2021. .. now with even more 2020!

    i think i would agree if it were only a demand issue, but from what i hear, there are significant supply issues unrelated to increased demand. Couple that with the percentage of new riders who will stick with it and the fact that many avid riders have more time to ride due to remote work etc and...

    Hard tail vs full squish

    I think it depends more on your personal riding style than it does on the terrain around here. If climbing/pedaling efficiency is your priority, then go hard tail, if you like efficiency but still want to be able to comfortably plow some descents, go w/ a shorter travel FS like the ones you...
