meowmeowmeowmeow posted:What's wrong with a dhf and dhr/aggressor? Always been my go to. Im similar to this DHR II up front / Rekon in back. I'm pretty happy with that although the Rekon gets torn up *somewhat* quickly. Pedal chat: I switched from Black Kats to Chesters. I want to think the slightly smaller Chesters and the composite material will be a bit more forgiving when pedal striking.

thatguy posted:Its baileys yeah I think? I'm not involved with it but I know who the PM is and I know a lot of the contractors associated with it. Its been 2 years now since they started? Is that it? think he started with ten and winnowed it down to 4 contractors maybe? But the PM is well known and spime wrangler is right, guys willing to be assholes about personal pref stuff are hard to find. I know a lot of guys who only do janky tech, low flow stuff that I hate and setting them on an eastern trail system would be bad unless the PM is willing to stay on top of it Here is what they have going on so far: https://baileystrailsystem.org/ I'll check it for sure, but I live by Cleveland so sadly it's not exactly a day trip. Certainly good for a weekend camping trip, it's a beautiful part of the state and there are plenty of other trails down there.

Hypnolobster posted:Why are there so many Ohio mtb goons??  A post COVID goon ride is in order! I'm partial to Vultures Knob and the Medina systems. Rays is open early too this summer if you want to go there, but thats all indoor and would make me uncomfortable right about now. That being said if you are short on time then East Rim is for sure the way to go for sure. Its machine cut, super fast and flowy with a touch of tech, and all the jumps can safely be cased if needed. Hampton Hills (Summit County Metroparks) is also fun and nearby. This is a good mention for sure. West Branch too, maybe? NE Ohio trail conditions page: https://camba.us/wp/ride/conditions

Hypnolobster posted:West Branch is for sure a great option for some deeeep old-school gnarly nonsense. OECR is good stuff, its one of the first trails I rode when I started. Sadly its almost a 45 minute drive for me now (from Medina) so I just head down to VK. I still need to make it out to Jakes Rocks....

I wouldn't even begin to know how to get this much in one day in Ohio. Nice work. Does anyone have any wheelset recommendations for a 'bigger' dude. I'm ~235 in riding gear and blew out another rear hub. This was the one that came with my Pivot - SUN Ringle DUROC 29 30mm - so nothing special at all. I might just get a new rear and deal with the front when that time comes.

VelociBacon posted:Hubs shouldn't fail because the rider is heavier - I've never heard of it happening. Was it new? You might want to ask about warranty. If it's not new, are you overtightening the rear axle (this shouldn't really make a difference still) or maybe blasting water into the hub with a pressure washer after your rides? I'm probably only about 15lbs lighter than you in full riding gear and I've not had any issues with hubs failing in that manner. I try to regrease my hubs after each season but this is DH riding and they take a lot more abuse. Its a few years old so I doubt there is a warranty available. No water, no overtightening, not too much abuse either its not TOO rough around me, end of season maintenance at the LBS each year too. I'll have it in on Tuesday to see whats up.

So, it ended up that my hub body was cracked and a new one is on the way (DT Swiss 350) and should be ready to ride early next week. I'm glad I have a backup bike.

Serviced my fork today since I was starting to see oil and grime around the top seal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVCd_SxBK4c SUPER easy to do if you have the right tools (early xmas for me) Now to continuously wonder if the rebound and PSI are correct (they are but I'll still wonder. Every. Ride.)

Anyone ever get a cross chain issue with a new chain and rear cassette? Easy fix? The gears index nice and smooth and everything 'feels' ok - but there is a decent crunch under load. Google says its a common problem I feel I'd get a better answer here though.

VelociBacon posted:Decent crunch under load when you're shifting or just pedalling normally? What components do you have? Is it possible your chain is mounted backwards (facing the wrong way)? I've never had a drivetrain that didn't complain a bit if you shifted under load but it shouldn't make any sound once you're in gear. Pedaling normally under load. XT cassette, KMC 11 spd chain, Raceface 32 T chainring. I *think* the fix is a new chainring as the old is / has worn with the old chain.

VelociBacon posted:Not sure what you mean but try putting the chain link closer to the part that pushes the pin out. spwrozek posted:I haven't tried it but I have the Topeak 18+ and it breaks chains with ease. Its the threading on the casting OR the threaded piece - the threads dont 'bite' thus never tightening. I'm glad I found out in the garage and not out in the middle of nowhere. #1 and #2 in this diagram: https://www.parktool.com/parts?query=IB-3

afflictionwisp posted:I carry one of these, haven't had any issues with the chain tool. Has worked well enough that I haven't had the need yet to buy a dedicated tool. Mine must be a bit fubar is my guess. I can wiggle the threaded piece right out of the chain tool. I emailed their customer service to see if this was a known issue and if there was a replacement threaded piece. They're just sending me a whole new one.

I shout "TO VALHALLA" and just shoulder people out of the way. Real answer is I generally say something along the lines of: rider up, passing when you have the chance etc etc. Please and thank you tend to go a long way too.

Literally Lewis Hamilton posted:Rider up is usually when you’re catching up to another rider in front with a group behind you. This might be confusing if you’re telling someone this as you’re coming up behind them. I've mostly seen / heard it in races. I took it as a shortened "A rider is coming up on you" TO VALHALLA it is then.

What about freestyle pegs on the cranks? It would (I think) provide a solid platform, but if there was a need for a quick ratchet pedal there could be issues.
