Thanks. I currently have a Montaro but it needs to be replaced. I can’t find one in my size so I was looking at the Spurce as a replacement.

Love these articles. 

Have you used the Giro Montaro? How does it compare to the two compare?

For travel bag, I am using the Thule Roundtrip duffel. Holds helmet and knee pads in one end, shoes in a separate compartment and then spots to separate everything in the middle. The one draw back of the bag is that the small compartments are bottomless and can fall out into the whole bag. https://www.thule.com/en-ca/bike-packs-bags-and-racks/panniers-and-bike-bags/thule-roundtrip-bike-duffel-_-3204352

I guess the value of the new Dub BB I’m about to remove and sell just went through the roof!

Yes, Pinion on/in a Zerode Katipo.

I would try the Hammerschmidt but my current bike has all the gears I need mounted right in the middle of the cranks! 9 speeds, more range than I know what to do with and a perfect chain line in every gear!!!

Awesome article. Brings back memories. 

My first full suspension I modded the drive train using an 11-27 or 28 cassette with a front derailleur. Climbing was in granny and flat and downs were in big ring. 

I then was given a Hammerschmidt for Christmas by my girlfriend (now known as wife) a few years and bikes later and went back to a small cluster cassette. Still have the hammerschmidt (maybe use it again one day). 

Eventually I tried the 1X10 and believed I should be using a 36 tooth front ring with 11-36 cassette. I would get tired on long climbs and eventually tried the manual granny. Didn’t last long as I preferred not to have to stop.

I believe someone on Ridemonkey made adapters to run 9 speed shifters with 10 speed derailleurs. I think I have the little part somewhere in a bin and plan to set up my son’s (7yr) bike for a 1x9 with an 11-36 cassette that should allow him to climb anything.

As usual, NSMB review standards are amazing. 

Curious to know how these compare to Hope Tech3 E4’s and what the long term value is for them. Can spare parts to fix issues be purchased?

Thanks, 

Eric

Is there any way to fix an Accu Gauge? I stupidly forgot to take some air out of my rear tire after setting it up tubeless and checked the pressure with my gauge (Max. 30psi) and now I can’t get a reading?

Thanks and sorry for the old thread resurrection.

Not riding but while I was coaching rugby. The poor kid went into convulsions. Wasn’t pretty.

Those riders are some serious tough humans and rippers.

What service buletin or where can i find it?

Thanks
