Hey everyone, i'm moving soon to somewhere where temps are below freezing for half the year. What should I do about tubeless sealant there? Are below-freezing temps an issue?

I've had a Brand-X Ascend-II dropper for a few years now, it's been absolutely great for the money. Kinda heavy but always worked well.

It was the 2024 version I rode, because it had 29" wheels/air fork/through axles. mate of mine had the previous Trek Roscoe with the QR rear and he was fiddling with it all the drat time, it would pop sideways on poorly-judged landings when he was jibbing about. He tried better skewers and stuff but it was genuinely a bit of a headache for him. I know you were looking at the newer one but just another warning on the pile for anyone that finds a bargain price on the older spec.

I was sticker shocked looking at bikes which led me to the amazon ones considering I have the equivalent of that now. Gonna try to visit the local shop this weekend and see what they have. OK, you have a bike you enjoy and it gets you out in the world doing cool poo poo in the woods. Sounds like a great bike to me, shouldn't piss on that. Why do you want to change/upgrade, what's niggling you about the current bike?

meowmeowmeowmeow posted:I simply ride my bike Back seats down, take the front wheel off and put the bike in the car. Perhaps put a tarp down too. Carry two bikes on top of each other. Two bikes and two riders, no problem. Aphex- posted:Speaking of riding in the mud/wet, if you can and your trail system allows it I would definitely recommend doing it as much as you can. After a colossally wet winter here in the UK it's finally drying up slightly and even though you don't notice it at the time, wet weather riding improves your skills on the bike so much. I remember last year coming out of winter with the first day of real hero dirt and I felt like I was glued to the trail, there was SO much grip that I didn't think about before. Cornering and body positioning and staying loose on the bike matters so much more when it's slick, but that translates to dry trails immensely. The UK view of "yeah our trails are mainly just old footpaths through the hills between towns, no-one needs to actively look after them much, they've been used for hundreds of years all year round" vs the US experience of "this is a curated trail system that people have to take effort to manage, please don't ride (or run) on it when its wet aargh" is a big cultural difference. meltie fucked around with this message at 11:14 on Apr 12, 2024 |
