I wanted to build a shop but I'm a college student and have to move too much so I decided to do a more portable option

All in it's only about 42 pounds so while it's definitely not a EDC bag, but it's light enough to be easily thrown in my car.

Now I just need some friends who need their bikes fixed so I can use it

I'd love to gets y'all input on what I should add or remove, while I've worked in a bike shop I'm still new to the home shop stuff

We pedaled in the tea mountains ⛰️ of Rwanda and it is cool and rainy over there. Did not expect that!

Hello, is this a good deal ?
The bike is in very good condition. Aside from the very small description and the picture I don’t have much information.
Supposing everything is okay with the bike is this a good deal ?

Thanks in advance :)

Telluride in the summer is just amazing!

First full suspension! Been renting at the park enough figured I’d take the plunge. Kona Process X

Hey all, just finished building a Marin Alpine Trail XR. In regards to forks, I have an older 2022 model Rockshox Zeb Ultimate with the 2.1 damper. How does this hold up against newer forks? Im still relatively new to the sport but confidently charging black diamond runs and say I have a good feel for suspension coming from a motorbike racing background. I got the fork for $300aud and questioning whether its worth the squeeze to upgrade to a 3.1 or 3.2 zeb in the near future. Pic of the marin for attention

it has new everything and it still has the same problem pls help and thanks in advance

I’ve been riding the Laufey for the past three seasons and decided I wanted to add a full suspension back into the mix. Found this 2022 top fuel 8 XT for a good deal and it legitimately looked brand new. It even had the dork disc snd reflectors on it.

2013 Fuel EX 9.8 here. I did not buy the bike, but I am the first and only registered owner of the bike on Treks website. For a few years I was hearing a creaking noise come from underneath me but my carbon fiber frame and magnesium link looked fine. A little over a year ago my link just cracked and while not doing anything special like jumping or dropping. It finally just broke riding a lazy ride down a small hill with a few tree roots on the trail.

About a year ago I contacted Trek supports U.S. phone number and when I reached them and explained my problem they told me they could not replace the part as it was no longer made. They said I could only get a discount on the frame and that they could not provide me with a new one. I told them that I had read about other customers getting comped a new frame when parts were not available and asked them if they could do that. They said they could not do that, only offer me a discount. I asked them why as the registered owner did I own a bike with a lifetime warranty on frame parts if they were not going to replace the pivot or comp me a new frame and I received no sympathy. Did I do something wrong with support? I am pretty sure that as the first registered owner that they are supposed to warranty the frame for life. I would rather just get a new pivot but if that is not the option then a new frame with the same paint job would be the only other option. What can I do to get them to fix my bike?

I haven't ridden this bike (my favorite bike) in a year because I cannot find the part to replace it. For now I am currently saving for the 8-10k to get a brand new custom Trek Fuel Ex that will be my ultimate new bike, but even then i will still want this one to be restored.

(Edit: I had to edit this part because some idiot decided it would be nice to make fun of my military service and disability which I had previously shared.) The bike got me through some tough times that could have ended me had I not had it as an outlet. I absolutely do not want to retire it due to the sentiment it brings. I would rather keep in in service perhaps riding it a bit more carefully and sparingly here in the future. I need options to find a replacement part, fabricate a part, repair the old part etc. Anyone have any ideas or solutions?

Picked this up at a goodwill near Canton Ohio for $10 restore or part out ? Don't know much about it, any info would be helpful. Pacific yx8500 model

Hey all! I’m looking at getting back into enduro racing not this summer but the next. I rode/raced a lot but honestly lost some love for it and just took a couple years off to lift weights/chase other aspirations. I’ve been getting that itch again recently and am looking at building up a race bike for next year. I largely ride and race in the PNW and have a history of cracking/snapping frames. I really do not care about weight or “fun factor” as far as I’m concerned fast is fun. Any recommendations on durable, fast, enduro bikes?

I keep reading that Sintered/Metallic/Semi-metallic pads are stronger, have more initial bite, etc than organic.

My experience this year, after switching to sintered w/ my Maven brakes, is that the sintered pads feel less strong, less initial bite, and generally weaker than the organics.

When I installed them, I swapped to a new copy of the same rotor (220mm HS2), bedded them on a long mountain road per the instructions, and have used them for a dozen or so park days since then.

I swapped because I liked the idea of a sharper bite, and also of a bit less concern about contamination.

What's your experience with them? Trying to suss out whether I did something wrong in my setup, or if this does align with other people's experience - especially on the compounds SRAM uses.

So I recently purchased a polygon siskiu D5 for a really good price although the front derailer keeps catching on my jeans leg. It’s fine they were old but I have started to wear shorts do the hole doesn’t get any bigger. But I noticed leg doesn’t catch so it’s most likely dies to them being ever so slightly baggy. Can I remove it untill I save up for a 1 by up front can I safely remove the front derailer and put the chain from the big one to the small one manually if needed? Is this a good idea and is this at least semi-normal “issue”

I apologize for my horrible grammar and spelling on most things I’m not sure how to edit a post to add pictures if yall ask so if yall do expect a comment of a new post with pics unless yall give instructions to do so. Also i understand this account is brand new i just created a new account

Looking at this bike. He is asking $3250 cdn, is this a good price or too high? looks in great shape. Has yari front shock , fox dps rear shock and sram no. What do you think?

Is $100 a good deal for this bike? Outgrew my old Trek bike so have been looking for a deal on one that’s a bit larger

Hi everyone,
I’m a 38-year-old rider from Romania and I’m looking for real experiences from people who have had this surgery.
I have a long-standing scaphoid nonunion (around 10 years old) that has progressed to SNAC wrist with arthritis. I’ve seen two experienced hand surgeons, and both believe that reconstruction of the scaphoid is no longer a good option because of the arthritis and carpal malalignment.
The recommended surgery is:
Scaphoidectomy
Four-corner fusion (midcarpal fusion)
Internal fixation with screws
My biggest passion is enduro and downhill MTB. I don’t race professionally, but riding is a huge part of my life.
I’d really like to hear from anyone who has had this surgery.
Were you able to return to MTB?
How long did it take?
How much wrist motion did you keep?
How does the wrist handle rough trails, drops and braking?
Would you choose the surgery again?
I’m not looking for medical advice, just honest experiences from riders who have been through it.
Thanks a lot!

This is a question ive been thinking about for a long time, but never really done much research on. Could you in theory combine enduro/DH parts with XC/trail parts to find a good balance at an all mountain bike? For example, take a light weight mid travel XC bike, maybe 140/130 or 130/120 and add enduro tires and heavier parts to increase downhill performance?

Or on the other hand, a long travel bike with lighter parts to make climbing more reasonable?

Im sure this has all be done before, and i bet its fairly common to use downhill parts on a xc frame, but what's the actual practicality here?

I could just be making stuff up, but id love some actual input, because I'm considering enduro tires on my xc bike to make it more of an all-rounderv because I only have 1 bike.

I ordered 2.5" tyres for my dh bike but i now see etrto of 55, that's really narrow imo, how come a 2.15 inch and a 2.5 inch can be the same size is there something im missing?
