// I forsee many many shifter bits spred across many many work benches. //

If the whole length of the thread is damaged there's not much you can do. If its just the first few threads you can clean it up, most good bike shops should have a pedal thread tap set, other wise you can just use the pedal, put it in from the back of the crank where the threads are clean, lots of lube, when it starts to bite, tighten, loosen, tighten, loosen, and hopfully the pedal spindles threads are long enough to go all the way through.

Should Still be shifting properly at 5000 Kms, with eight and nine speed stuff you can pretty much run it until it starts slipping, slipping over the actual cog, not because the gears are set wrong

Next time the cycle lab guys show somebody a video, please dirrect them to the browser, then this... cyclelab.com/the-difference.html

Elbow grease and brake disk cleaner

Got a pair of Impact VXi's a couple months back, they're so grippy that they have stripped all the paint off my cranks, took like ten rides. Otherwise they are amazing

Ritchey Cross is Sexy. They need to sacrifice that seat post and make it look sexier. The Detail one those frames is amazing. Shimano guys could do some dusting.

Look Where you want to go, Bend your elbows, Get you'r ass off the saddle and bend your knee's Keep Breathing!! The rest is practice. Books do help clarify movements. TRASHZEN if you wanna be super boss

Probably because if you cant see the tree, you're gonna hit it anyway. They have the same rules for most moto enduro events. Another factor that was pointed out to me is that your neck just has to support just that little extra weight, which could be all the difference even at low speeds. It might not be more damaging than a rock or stump, but why increase chances of injury.

They seem to have the little nitrogen boxes hooked up to airlines at allot of Engen garages now, no idea how they work but its free. Will nitrogen leak faster or slower than air??

Incase you're still wondering This is a tubless conversion This is S#@$

Would you ever rather be one of those people though? We have a secret that nobody else could be bothered to hear.... bicycles are better

If it gets you there, ride it. I found gears better for commuting, every now and then you find yourself leaving work with nothing in the tank, super low gearing helps for a sad chug home. Thats about the only thing i can think of that would swing me

Track looks so beautiful. Really need one of those

Double post

Thats why it would be cool, cause you could actually see who was on a hard tail and how fast they went

Awsum Riding!! Stage 1 deserves a round of applause. Was really cool not having a specific order of stages. Did anyone else have near collisions at the bottom of 1,2,3, that was a special kind of sketchy Hard-tail division is the only thing that would have improved it

True that excuse the pun

Thermo Moto cross gloves work well but you'd probably still need inners at that temp. Well done btw, I'd be in my car with the heater on full

Shimano is for win. If you're keen for 4 pot, there's ZEE and SAINT...they're all just amazing value for money and tick all the boxes. I was suprisied at how good the Avid trail brakes are, but maintanace will still be the issue. They should be bled lots and kept reasonably clean Hope brakes have amazing modulation (Shimano is on or off if they are set up properly), and awsum stopping power but they are always tricky to set up, i wouldn't recommend the Hope disks, they never seem to be straight, they are a mission to straighten, and they cost. LOTS. So run shimano disks that are axactly the same size and compatible with pad material Magura recently launched some stuff thats probably worth looking at, Magura's are super easy to live with, untill you try find pads at the little shop down the road

Other people might say different but straight gauge for drive side on rear and DB for the rest

If XT hub is pitted, it cant be fixed, so if you choose that, check they still roll perfectly, that said, if you have the cash, flow on hope, and find a proper wheel builder.

What Craig said But difference is so minimal in terms of price and weight you might as well use the Flow for strength, but is rotational weight so if you're into light and fast, go lighter Just put flows on my 26 hard tail, stiffest back wheel i've ever seen. Solid as all hell . And the beed socket, even running wire beed and tubes, oh my word, Stans forever!!

Those look pretty unique, i'm sure you could make something though
