@ZigaK regarding the micro USB -> USB Typ-C is also very common and is mostly used for high end Android devices

that plug alternative is an excellent tip - thx!

Hi, I´ve had a 10spd Sunrace (guess 11-42) running for 3 years with no issues at all except that it gets the job done. Had a second one installed and also no issues there. In my opinion you can´t go wrong with a Sunrace cassette.

same problem here - thx for looking into it

SRAM is also the only company that still believes a hydraulic remote is the best solution for a dropper post. Every other manufacturer does it different and I will never get a hydraulic one.

I guess they are big enough as a OEM manufacturer to get away with pretty much and therefore DUB is here to stay. So I don´t think they have done something different, but have the size to "force" something like DUB into the market.

I will rather give stuff like Kogel bearings a go and stick with my current SLX cranks.

was thinking of the Dorado lowering too ;-)

I want to build my Starling Murmur frame end April/May. If it is available then I will definitly get one. Otherwise MRP Ribbon or DVO 29" is the "solution".

used my Mattoc for three summers and never looked back. now I´m getting a 29er and was looking for a 150 or 160 mm Manitou fork. could not find one and now I really struggle to find a good fork to replace my beloved Mattoc. 

in my optinion the Mattoc is the most underrated fork of the market.

Hi AJ, have you tried ESI grips? I struggled with grips vs. hands for years and ESI grips did the trick. There are more options (wolftooth, lizard skins etc.) availble and I guess any silicon grip with good thickness relative to your hand size does the trick.

...oh and bloody awesome bike :-)

As far as I can tell my pike (dual position 160mm 650b) suffers the described problem -> does not provide the full amount of travel. You said that negative pressure or a broken seal might be the problem. In which leg does the negative pressure build up?

i agree with jimjam.

did not see berrecloth's run but lacondeguy's 1st run was in my opinion nothing worse then atherton's run. if they timed the run than atherton was the fastest for sure ;-)

hi,

i just read the article about the arrest. before that, i thought only we have strange and dangerous people over here in austria (i live in tyrol - district in the west of our small country). there is a place near innsbruck where many moutainbikers go for a ride. there are also many walkers there and therefore also a lot of problems between those two groups.

last week one of the dangerous people had the good idea to put a wire across a trail. a 13 year old boy hit the wire but lukily he was not tall enough to be seriously injured (sounds strange but thats how the newspaper reportet about it - it is written in german so the link might not be of much use, but anyway here it is):

the good thing was, that the boy was not injured. he is the son of a well known local sportler and so the story made it in the newspapers.

hopefully somebody can stop this kind of dangerous people

this guy really rocks. to be honest - I could not what that for hours but what he does on a bike and with what the city provides, is really excellent and fun to watch :clap:
