@mtb_mechanic Год назад

the brake pad not going down all the way is a big safety hazard, since the top of the pad isnt contacting the rotor this means that when the pads wear down they will press against each other instead of the rotor.

@sandy_knight Год назад

I agree.If you previously had Shimano rotors on there the caliper might be set up for 203mm and the Hope will probably be 200mm. The size should be written on the adaptor as part of the model number, for example I have a Shimano SM-MA90-F203P/PM sitting in front of me which is to take 180mm 'post' mount up to 203mm.

@evancampbell2111 Год назад

The post mount on the 38 is for a 200mm rotor, you use a different washer on the bolts for a 203mm rotor. If this was not the case you would not be able to run SRAM brakes on a 38.

That's a great looking trail, it looks like my local trails here in the UK. Lots of mud and rocks but mine has a crap ton of slippery roots too. Sometmes you just gotta ride when it wet and muddy, like here in the UK 80% of the year the trails will be like that, just gotta take it as it comes. Mud guards and bike washes exist for a reason I guess :)

I use I use the MK1, it's been great. of course a hard crash might snap the tip, but other than that very durable. MK2 can be attached with zip ties as before, but also with provided Velcro straps. There is also a bolt on front guard, which fits this fork, but with EXT ERA which I have it will require modification to get it to fit, I ordered it too, I will see if I can fit it.

They just adjusted the contact down so it wouldn't drag. The caliper and rotor both needed to be replaced. Derailleur needed to be replaced. Frame was banged up far beyond what the pictures showed. Chain stay guards were barely hanging on. The list goes on, it was a total basket case that took a lot of money to get right. Wouldn't do it again.

Sweet bike! You said for the season. So you’re going to have to send it back? I watch a lot of Dustin Klein gravel bike videos. He rides quite a few badass bikes from The Pro’s Closet.

Well they want me to experience the buyback program that they offer. So I'm really curious what they'd buy the bike back for. If they don't low ball, I could see myself selling others that I have

i've got an Orbea rallon, want to swap forks performance for factory?

Centennial is probably the slowest to dry out after a rain. It also doesn't get love from the paid trail crews like Bentonville, so please be easy on it! But we've all been there, thinking "oh I probably shouldn't be on this trail" 😄

@EvansMTBSaga Год назад

Yeah and now there's heavy shade coverage throughout! Really excited to go back and thanks for the info/comment

Hey Evan, you should consider doing a bike giveaway for one of the enduro bikes, maybe even include some merch

Riding in the mud is 100% dependent on where you are riding. Some soil types are fine to ride in the mud while others get destroyed and are hard to fix. I just rode Galbraith in Bellingham, WA and wet mud riding is normal and allowed there. Riding in the mud is a different kind of fun but boy is it messy and annoying to clean up! My home trails you are not allowed to ride in the mud as it makes them incredibly hard to repair.

@EvansMTBSaga Год назад

The Bentonville trails are mainly clay capped and okay to ride in mud, but these trails had different clay and it was super sticky and in some areas majorly sticking to the tires 💀

Galby is horrible in the wet lol... Like riding through thick pudding!

@mwinburn200 Год назад

@@meganNefarious it was definitely a little spicy when wet! I don’t think I’d want to do that full time but was a fun experience to try it.
