Aftermarket Bottom Brackets with DUB Cranks? - April 9, 2021, 1:10 p.m.

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

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.

TRP DH-R Evo Brake Review - Nov. 11, 2020, 7:06 a.m.

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

Tire Gauges - Blackburn Honest Digital Vs. Accu-Gage - Sept. 4, 2020, 10:22 a.m.

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.

On Falling: MTB doc shines light on Canadian women - July 18, 2020, 11:09 a.m.

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.

Going Pack Free With The Wolf Tooth EnCase Tool - July 1, 2020, 6:45 p.m.

No issues yet (fingers crossed) after 25 days of riding. I’m not easy on parts or light (215lbs).

I have a creak that I’m chasing down and I checked the clamp and all was nice and snug.

I’m using the Granite multi tool: https://www.granite-design.com/stashmultitool

No need to thread your fork, only remove your star nut. Quiet and seems well made.
