>FAQ on buying a bike that nobody reads anyway:
> What good bike can I get for under $500?
a stolen bike. Possibly a newer used entry level hardtail but don't expect it to survive rock gardens, jumps, or drops. Or an older mtb which won't be as good as newer ones and will still have a front derailleur, but it'll be good enough.
> What good bike can I get for under $1000
Good used hardtail, new entry level hardtail
> What good bike can I get for under $2000?
New Hardtail, decent used full suspension
> What good bike can I get for under $3000?
https://www.yt-industries.com/fr/produits/velos/capra/uncaged-10-al/602/capra-mx-uncaged-10/
Used full suspension, decent entry level full suspension but prepared to put more money into it.
> What are the excellent value brands?
Marin, Commencal, Canyon, Polygon, YT, Propain, Kona, and many more. Sometimes the expensive brands have an excellent alue bike
> What are the differences between an XC, Trail, Enduro, and Downhill bikes?
XC bikes are for going up fast, go down not as fast. Trail bikes are for going up and down. Enduro bikes are for going down fast, and slower up. Downhill bikes are for going down really fast, needs a ski lift, truck, or the rider pushing it to go up.

Does anyone have recommendations for trail pants? I've been using endura singletrack trousers for the past few seasons and they are starting to wear our and not sure what to buy. I liked the endura ones overall, they were comfy and have faired decently well, weren't too hot however, they are just too baggy for me even with pads on. I would like something a bit slimmer so they don't constantly rub/bunch around my ankles.

I had a really fucking annoying and obscure issue on my bike that I just fixed today.
You know those One Up EDC tools? Well I keep mine in my steerer tube and have had it in there since 2021 on my trail bike, absolutely no issues. It has hex bolts through each end of the tool and that's what the tools pivot around. Every time you use them, they loosen just a little. It's not really an issue but after all these years of riding and being used, the bottom one loosened up enough that it expanded outward and made it nearly impossible to remove the tool since it made it too difficult to clear the stem. I had to turn my bike upside and beat it out with a dowel through the steerer tube. I tightened it back up and stuck it back in.
Very easy to prevent so don't let this happen to you. My only other gripe with this tool is that the 8mm is too short to apply enough torque to keep a crank on for a lot of pedalling and descending. Just check your crank every few rides because it is a pain in the ass to deal with on the trail. The Blackburn Wayside has a much better 8mm but you shouldn't let your crank get to the point where you need to tighten it back up on the trail.

Forced myself to ride flats today, don't know how people do it. I can't even remember if its possible to unweight anywhere near as effectively as with clips. If there is I've totally lost it.

one of the pogo pins in my GX AXS derailleur is fucked so it only works if the battery is firmly pressed on. Apparently this is caused by oxidation, if taking off the plate and spraying it with Deoxit doesn't work, I may go back to mechanical so this doesn't happen again in 4 years.

How do you anons cope with knowing that mtb tech is a completely solved problem now, and we will never get to experience being among the first to use a truly new and cool piece of kit? What would it have been like to be riding during the 90's and 00's when actually interesting experimentation with design was going on?I'm so sick of shit like DUB, supermeganiggerboost hub spacing being peddled as some revolutionary tech like the introduction of suspension forks or dropper posts.

I’m running out of ideas here, so any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. My bike is a Spectral 6, and while it’s fully equipped with Shimano Deore components, the crankset is a Miranda for some reason. As you can see in the picture, the chain is damaging the frame, but I haven’t figured out exactly why this is happening. My best guess is that the damage is caused by chain tension or pulls after rough landings from jumps and similar impacts.Previously, I wrapped the affected area with a piece of tubing, which worked for about a month. However, after a particularly tough ride yesterday, I came home to find the tubing torn apart. Before I replace it with another piece of tubing to prevent further damage, I’d like to figure out a more reliable solution.What are my options here? Could the issue be related to the crankset? Is it poor frame design from Canyon, with insufficient clearance between the chain and the frame? Should I consider a different type of protection, like a small metal plate, or something else entirely?

Cloud inversions are pretty cool. This final track went into the fog around halfway down and my glasses completely misted up/condensation formed and made it incredibly hard to see on the final most technical section of the track where wrong tyre placement means you're going into a +40cm rain rut and going OTB. Overall a good ride with cool view and lots of mud.

Any tips on how i can get better? Should i try going slower and focusing on pulling my front wheel, or what?

Made me think that I really wouldn't know what to do other than press down. I know what a tourniquet is, and the idea on how to do it but practically doing it I would fail. Can it have been done in that case?

Saw this bike a few years ago and thought it was pretty cool at the time mainly because of the super monster, but seeing a similar version of the frame on pinkbike buysell is pretty cool and made me go back to look at it again. The more I look at the photo I remember how interesting and cool the bike is with 300mm of travel using 2 rear shocks in sort of stages, some OG magura 4 pot brakes, 26x3.0 tyres. I did test ride it a little around the field and it felt completely different from any other bike I've ever tried, basically limitless travel. However it did need a service that shit was completely clapped out.

Finally got the bad boy. Seattube(420mm)is shorter than mine(440mm) and considerably steeper. One full diameter ahead from the range, seems I will not suffer on climbs anymore nor get IBS. The insertion depth is 290mm, possibly a bit more, I should be able and need to run a 210mm dropper. Vivid ultimate coil as shock which is nice and I'd need a red coil for the bling factor. And a storage box. Also got screws under the top tube to put stuff.
A downside is that the internal cable routing on the seatstay looks like something from hell and the tiny space for a water bottle, I'd need a fidlock to fit one or I'll die on summer from dehydration.

I had forgotten how trash they were. I can't feel a solid bite point at all on standstill, just a squish that keeps till it stops. You also require considerably more force to pull the lever on freestroke than my rear saint which has a bit more resistance than my front brake. At the end of the first section of DH his hands were tired from pulling.
Probably the only thing keeping him from putting the XTs is laziness from doing the internal cable routing.
Those things aren't useable at all. No fucking wonder when they switch to the good side they can't handle the power. They hamfist the brakes all the time and get used to it and when they try something that requires almost no force to use they end blocking the wheels followed by "muuh no modulation".

After tensioning, they are 5mm too long. Would this pass? Mechanically speaking you need ~2-2.5x the diameter of the screw(for alu on alu). ~5mm. I'm right on the minimum(alu-brass). Thread is 9mm long. That is like 4-5mm of engagement depending on side. Do I just trash it and begin again?

I'm tired of Halo MT supadrive hubs and their strange issues. But I am too broke to currently buy another rear hub before I get some income from my summer job.current problem all major hub manufacturers currently use 6802 bearings for microspline freehubs such as the new one up hub, my halo hub and many others, this is due to the fact that having the bearing sit on the thru axle is a bad idea as loading the axel in shear while it is under tension is a recipe for breaking many many axels, and that standard bearing sizes come only come in 12,15, and 17mm ID sizes. meaning that your bearings must have a 15mm ID and for microspline a 24mm OD to fit inside the freehub . These bearings are just barely adequate for use in free hubs and generally see short service lifes unless doubled up or using a double row bearing as seen in hopes new pro5 design. In red the bearing type, in purple the rated static load of the bearings, (dynamic is 2x static for almost all cases).One up uses only two 6802 bearings in its free hubs meaning half of the load capacity.

I was thinking of just getting my bike from sp*rt chek and they deliver to your house but it comes disassembled. How hard is it to actually assemble a bike by hand and will I need tools
Thanks bros

Seems like I was right on what I felt I needed on a new bike to go faster on DH.
>higher stack
>29 up front
>longer wheelbase
>2.3mm 203mm rotors for better lever feel
First 2 rides yesterday without any suspension settup other than ballpark fork pressure and front/rear tires pumped to 2.2 bar. Easily get 2nd/3rd in strava from PR and got a PR on a section. The vivid coil is plush, the bikes sticks to the ground and has a lockout for climbing. The 3.1 Zeb is plushier than my 2.1 lyrik even with less sag though I feel there's a volume spacer and a bit more pressure than I should have.
I now just need some 31.8 high rise bars to help with the harshness. Detune the shock to soft from medium as the rebound speed is slower and it feels sluggish(or use a lighter oil). And probably a front saint to match the rear but I can wait, the mt520 is pretty good.
On climbing, the steep seat tube and a big max insertion depth to run a 200mm dropper finally made it comfortable to climb with, no more kneepain nor need to move the dropper post up/down each time.
The bike is heavy, the rear specifically.

Just bought a used hardtail, form hasn't been serviced since 2023. The previous owner def didn't ride it too hard, but I figure that's long enough that a full service is warrantedWhat can I expect to pay? And do you guys have recommendations for where to mail it off to? None of my local shops do anything besides lowers, which I would rather just do on my ownFox Rhythm 34 btw.

My bike feels huge and I can never get comfy on it, always feel stretch out. I'm 5'10" with a 30 inseam.Bike Frame is a large, I already switched the steam from a 70mm to a 50mm and move the seat as far foward as I can.

Continental tyres which are made in china are complete shite, the qc and quality is horrible compared to their german counterparts, which I think now is exclusively their downhill casing...

With summer here and overgrown trails don't forget to check your body and clothes after riding. Found 3 today. 2 after showering, one crawling on my leg and the other one already with it's head it. The 3rd one was on my short.

I’m getting a Canyon Neuron Onfly CF 7 delivered tomorrow. It’s replacing my old hardtail Trek dual sport 2, which served me well for how cheap it is. Stoked for the new bike!

Dunno if I should try steel braided hose for a more crisp feel on the rear or just get a new brake for the sakes of it

He can't win a 4th time in a row, 100% sure the matchstick won't do it.
-2.4 secs off 2nd place is just crazy. Even women were close.

Wait is MTB an /xs/? I just started with cross country (because that's the only thing that can make me move my fat ass). Didn't know I am doing extreme sports now.

Do you guys ride MTB on a highway? Today I drove around a lake, part of the road went along forest paths, and part along the highway. I was so sick to barely have any speed on asphalt.

Should I get a 27.5" or a 29" ebike MTB or make a mullet out of the 27.5" for food delivery?
I tend to jump on curbs, lane-switch and such in the inner city but in the outskirts there are longer stretches of asphalt, potholes are not rare either
