Has anyone tried a lawn sprayer at the trailhead? Seems like the most simple solution.

Yes, several years ago. Not enough pressure.

Been using this. Picked it up earlier this year and came in handy after several sloppy races this year. Got it for much cheaper at Costco.

Yes, tried it last week to rinse off my muddy fat bike. As mentioned, not enough pressure to do anything. TBH, using a water bottle was more effective.

I heard these work well. It’s not too high powered to do any damage.

Can vouch for this. Uses 2L bottles (or any bottle with that size screw top), or a water line can run from any (clean) water source or garden-hose water source

Hmm... interesting... I just ordered this version:

Probably not as good as the Ryobi but includes batteries for a few $ more. We shall see.

With the cold temps earlier this month wasn't able to wash the bikes so trying this as it was 50% off and free shipping

I looked at a bunch of these for this time of year especially for the gravel bike. I ended up just buying a $15 pump sprayer from HD and at home I fill it with hot water and rinse the bike off just at the threshold of the garage.

I also use the frame shine muc off stuff and between the two things 90% of the grime and dirt just rinses right off.

Yes see prev post. Even if the water gets cold it still rinses off most of the muc to the point I can put the bike back inside the car when I’m too lazy to use the bike rack.

Yeah I guess this makes sense just depends on the level of muck and muddiness

Same here, except I don't wash the bike at trail head but in front of the garage days or weeks after the dirt has dried. I just spray some cleaner first and brush it before using the sprayer to rinse, most of the time I don't have to refill with water to do one bike.

This for the SJ, supposed to be amazing for clydes like me.

And these for the Epic:

Actually had to replace the rear caliper as a piston was cracked. Decided to replace both levers with the 9120 as I feel the 9100 levers with the 9120 calipers are what is throwing off the bite points. Full bleeds, replacing the calipers have not fixed this problem, so this the last resort. If it doesn't solve it, I'll be selling and switching to XT instead.

I keep pondering a set of 4-piston XTR brakes for my Heckler.

 

[scott62]

Saint? Xtr are xc brakes.

 

[Bikeworks]

Saint? Xtr are xc brakes.

They're on an XC bike, my Epic Evo. I put them on today, I can feel a difference in the stand, so I'm thinking this was the right move.

Why 4 pots? To much brakes for 2.1 tires. Besides, 4 pots clash with Lycra 😁

Faster you you can brake, faster you can ride.

That Epic Evo has way too progressive Geo for most 2 piston brakes too.

A number of pro DH racers run XTR 4-pot brakes (calipers and levers) on their DH bikes.

Truth. I'm 210 and I ride the EE as my non-jumping trail bike.

No 2.1 for me. Skinny tires like that (and the Lycra) I save for my Tarmac. 😄

Been a trp dhr evo fan for a long time but trying something different for my park bike this year . Was close to trying those lewis brakes but decided to go with a classic instead, and I already have a healthy stock of pads as trp use the same pad .
