Maxxis is OEM on most of MTB Brands. Not the Best but you could say it is the "Xerox" of MTB Tyres. Last you 5K "Sometimes More"

12K This is not an Offer

I often Wonder why they use such small bearings in the Rear suspension. I've had to change 4 bearings after 8000 Km.

12 inch Rule Works on 12 Speed as Well

Not a very Good Practice Rather Measure the Chain and replace when worn.

Go for 34 Tooth Round

It's a Good Theory but Look at the Picture Some is on top of the Top Tube

MTB Short Travel Trails Bike.

Always buy the Latest if You are buying Brand New. Also Explore other Brands.

Sell the Bike and buy a Higher Spec Bike Complete. eg "A Scott 970 Remains a Scott 970 even if you upgrade some bits,"

If It's a new bike Go to the Shop.

Tubeless is good for Thorns. Seals good and Permanent.

I would suggest a visit to Bike Shop or Post Picture of Hub. Sounds Like a Problem with the FreeBody Assembly. Stuck or Worn Pawls.

https://enduro-mtb.com/en/dropper-post-maintenance/ Post-ride service of your dropper post The best thing you can do to prolong the life of your dropper seat post is to keep it clean. After every ride gently wash off any mud and grime from the post shaft. Just like all the sensitive parts of your bike, do not pressure wash the wiper seal of your dropper post. To keep the main wiper seal in good working order, it is recommended to apply a small amount of suspension lube to the clean seal to keep it lubricated. Stay away from degreasers or penetrating oil as they will strip out the factory grease from the wiper seal and reduce its longevity.

Dry From Over Washing and Possible use of Agressive Chemicals. Stanchion should always have some Lubricant.
