  1. Search Thingiverse - Thingiverse There are plenty of options and designs online. a lanyard is essential as my normal 3d printed garmin mount has broken while descending on some rocks and the lanyard kept it from falling off. i see there is a screw under the battery charging rubber that could be used to attach the lanyard. Are you looking for someone to print it?
  2. Sigh, we haven't ridden that section in years because it just isn't safe.
  3. Hey Are you going to ride the bikes off the trainer or will they be dedicated to the trainer? The wheel on trainers are the cheapest but do your research. what i have heard is that they often require a dedicated tyres or it eats through your tyres, obviously this depends on how strong you are. I have a direct mount one and it just works, but i do have a dedicated bike on it and two saddles for my wife an I.
  4. Hi I've been using a petg 3d printed computer mount on my MTB but the problem is that they do break, this is fine as my garmin has that little safety elastic but the varia does not have that elastic so if the mount breaks its hitting deck and you will most likely lose it. if you can solve this problem please post
  5. I would love to know the volume difference between the two. there seems to be way more MTB brands than motor cycles and MTB companies have much lower volumes so my guess is that there is no scale so unit prices are high.
  6. Hi I bought some from Solomans cycles in woodmead. It wasn't the rockshox one but the maxima one which is the same thing.....or at least thats what the internet says. But prepare yourself, its not cheap. I also got the Sram butter there which you can use on your bushings. I've used normal fork oil in my mrp (lowers and damper), fox oil and fork oil in my fox forks and maxima in a SID.....they all work well. Good luck
  7. On our rides at least 90% great back, some mean it and others don't.....and that's normally when the race starts
  8. find the one that your stomach handles best as each person can have very different needs. It took me a while to figure out on how to push my stomach and I settled on a Sugar and Game bottle mix that I know other people cannot drink.
  9. I think alot of valuable stuff has already been covered. I have a power meter on both my MTB's, 4iiii on one and a stages gen 3 on the other, both have been really good and the local service has also been great on both. We have debated this item in our little riding group and come to a simple conclusion, if you like data and analysing things you will most likely enjoy a PM.
  10. Seeing we talking chain wear, anyone running a Gabaruk cassette? if so what's the experience. I run XT with KMC, very good and has lasted through mud and dust....just rock solid and X01 cassette with XX1 chain which has lasted a long time but i think the XT might shift better and the cost to replace the XX1 is just crazy......XTR might be on the horizon with a Gabaruk cassette.

    Ahhh Ok should have mentioned that I'm connecting via Ethernet cable and that I'm not using a VPN as the South African version covers the MTB racing. Maybe thats the common thread, VPN seems good, local connection bad.

    Also terrible quality. XCC and DH replays and the XCO live today were all over the show. i have a 200mb/s line that i tested during the broadcast so it doesn't look like its down load speed related. if anyone fixes please share.
  14. Seeing this topic has a lot of knowledgeable people on it, can you bend the damper shaft if locked out and you take a big hit? And if it is locked out alot would the air side still compress a bit but cause the lower to twist at an angle into the bushing?
  15. Is the dust wiper tight on the stanchion? looks like there's a gap.
