My red and black YT Capra was stolen last night (28/11/2023) at around midnight. Bike was pretty much standard with original parts. In good condition with shimano xt cleat platform pedals. Both bikes were chained together.
Very strange that no-one has mentioned Garmin's crash detection function.
Its certainly a better option than waiting for someone to find you in the bushes and read your ICE info.
There is. I've never made it past the pump track but just behind it is an xco style flat course. My advice would be to lock your suspension out and hit the pump track. Alternatively hire one of the jump bikes to hit the pump track and jump line on.
Just had a similar issue with a novatec hub. Eventually found the ratchet ring that the pawls of the free body run in was cracked right through. It only clicked when free wheeling and about once per wheel rotation.
Does anyone have any information on how to go about registering a charity for the 94.7 Cycle Challenge. How does the whole process work in terms of raising funds etc? I have a friend who runs a facility for orphaned kids and has a group of people who would be keen to support the cause through the 94.7.
Thanks for the advice. Just an update. I went with a stans/ ztr crest set. Saved about 300g per wheel (although 100g was on the 100ml less of stans). Looking forward to giving them a test run tomorrow morning. A rather expensive exercise once you cassette tires and disks to the mix.
I'm looking for a set of 650B wheels to use as race wheels. Preferably under R10K. Any ideas or suggestions? Would like to get them before the weekend if possible.
I broke both my collar bones in separate mx crashes with a leatte brace on. After the second time the bump on my "collar" prevented my from wearing one. The last break was either side of the brace. Coincidence? I think it's a little like the arguments aborting knee braces and femur breaks. I'm won't ride with a leatte again but won't ride a mx bike without knee braces. I suppose whatever gives you the best sense of security and confidence.
This is not a unique problem. No need to reinvent the wheel. I think the Thaba trails work quite nicely. Maybe just copy that format and pricing for that matter. Although Thaba trails are priceless.
I have a small plastic pipe about 2cm long that I cut off a breather hose for an off road bike petrol cap. If you are near a petrol station, it works like a bomb. Literally. Just slip the pipe over the valve and presto. You can now use the garage's compressor.
My shock is about 4 months old. I have had the shock replaced by the Merida agents who were great about swapping it out after 2 months after it first leaked. Its just lost pressure again and had to have new seals fitted. This time it was done by Pro Bike who were fantastic and fitted them while I waited about 15 min and didn't charge a cent. Whilst I appreciate the great support behind the shock, I am also curious as to whether this is a common problem with the shock.
I reckon the web site is pretty decent. Can't quite understand why you would have taken the trouble to post your comment. They are obviously not selling web sites. If they were, I would maybe understand your comments.
