#AskGMBN Quick one here - grabbed a deal on a nearly new Minion DHR and a High Roller. DHR up front for the grip and High Roller out back for the rolling speed? Or would you go the other way round ? (By "a deal" I mean £20 for two tubeless ready tyres in nearly new condish). Cheers lads. PS - I think I know Henry's answer...

No question, but a tip for Hudson suffering from motion sickness! It could have something to do with his ears. I can become nauseous when driving up or down a mountain. When I keep eating a gum or carefully clear my ears like a diver does, than it's a lot less noticeable for me.

In regards to motion sickness question: I got the same thing when I got back in mountain biking and I was going down trails faster and more often.

@euopful 5 лет назад

As a chippy I have to deal with rounded off screw heads all the time. The first trick I use that gets round this issue 90% of the time is to get a bit of rubber (I use patches cut from old inner tubes) and putting it between the head and tip of the screwdriver / hex key then pushing it in as hard as possible while loosening the screw or bolt. I have also successfully used this to remove rounded off hex bolts on bikes.

@99MCougar 5 лет назад

Hudson- about the motion sickness. Possibly hyperventilating? You can get spasms in your hands by breathing too quickly as well as dizziness. I would agree, take a breather between runs and try to relax on your way down (song idea etc).

4:00 buy an easy-out set and ratchet it out. Should be pretty easy. If the material strips easily, then it should be easy to drill out. (Edited to correct auto-correct.... Yes, ironic)

@josephawatson 5 лет назад

Was going to suggest easy out set. so +1

@bradleyrozenek7927 5 лет назад

3:30 my best advice, try jamming a torx bit in there, theyre usually a bit tappered and they are basically an allen key already except slightly different sizing so its easy to find a bit thats just the right size. first, preferably just jam the bit in, then get a ratchet on that bad boy and slowly apply force until 1, it becomes unstuck or 2. you break something ( unlikey) just gotta jam the bit in there real good and it should be fine

@MrDblStop 5 лет назад

3.30, the stripped Allen head bolt, take a larger Allen key and grind the first few millimetres of each side of one end at an angle so it is small enough to go into the rounded head, but eventually catches.

@MrRada2000 5 лет назад

about the bolts being rounded off, sometimes you can make it work with a torques bit that a bit bigger than the allen size jam it in with a hammer then use that same bit allways when removing the bolt or change it, i rounded off the head on the front axle of my gambler dh20 and now i allways use the torques bit for one of the sides and an allen for the other, never rounded it again

@garykidson 5 лет назад

I’m in the process of repainting my aluminum fully. Agree with Blake, I’ve done a few and the better prepared the frame is, the better your dust control the better the outcome. I would add though, be patient, use multiple light coats and give each the recommended drying time between coats. Check out ETOE or fatcreations for inspiration

@JodyHwd 5 лет назад

@3.55 I think Blake means a Torx key ? Personally I'd use a left handed drill bit. Torx (or anything else) that spreads the fastener can create their own excess friction.

@FiveEars 5 лет назад

On the stripped hex-head, use vice grips on the outer part of the bolt. You might have to break off some plastic to get purchase, but that'll give more leverage than a flathead.

@trexfishtec7375 5 лет назад

Hammer a torques or multi spline tool into the hole usually removes damaged Allen bolts. Alternatively you can buy damaged screw remover tools, essentially a driver bit with a reverse threaded screw on the end, it drills into the damaged bolt then undoes it. Good luck

@nonameyet7162 5 лет назад

If you have an allen(Hex) screw that is striped, put a flat punch on the head and hammer it all around on top. The Hex pattern will be somewhat repaired. You will have to tap the allen key back in. Sometimes it's enough to be able to remove it.

@haven444 5 лет назад

Another solution for a stripped hex bolt is to use the same hex wrench but put a paper towel over the end. This wont work if the bolt is completely stripped to round, but if it's just a little stripped it should give you enough grip to get it loose.

Thin disc on an angle grinder, cut a slot in the bolt, use a flat head screwdriver to remove.. then throw bolt in garbage AFTER finding a replacement.

@isaks3243 5 лет назад

in the motionsickness problem do i personally think that it is down to the goggles. if they are just slightly splitting the ligh the wrong way can they make people either motion sick or get soar eyes after a while, either try getting other goggles or try with sun glasses and see if it makes a difference, can also be altitude as they said and can be fatigue which are both viable reasons and if you're really unlucky can it actually be problems with your balance center or balance nerve which may missfire and cause your motionsicknes.

For most of the race I don't think extra traction is particularly important, it's fairly grippy there compared to where I live. Downsides are probably lower rolling speed and more rotational weight.

@jeffgiles4330 5 лет назад

#askGMBN I tend to go back and forth about whether or not a long travel 29er is the right bike for me. Currently, I'm riding a 120 mm 27.5 bike that is awesome on the climbs, but gets bumped around quite a bit on the descents. I love the playfullness of the wheel size and amount of travel, but I'm enticed with the idea of having more travel and longer wheels. The trails I ride in Utah aren't particularly chunky or technical and I'm worried more travel would be overkill. Thoughts? I've demoed the Rallon, Ripmo, Bronson, Slash, Mach 6, and Switchblade and I think I like the Ripmo the best!

#askgmbn Instead of a fatty for Mega why not try a 29+? I have a Trek Full Stache and it is a surprisingly good enduro bike. I have ridden some high end enduro race bikes and found the Stache is faster than any of them in loose sketchy conditions due to the big tires. It is fast in rocky conditions because the tires roll smoothly over rocks and retain momentum. It would rock the snowy sections of section of Mega and do well in the rocks and gravel. The trick to making it work is using good tire inserts that tame the tendency of big tires to squirm in turns and have too much bouncy rebound. I am using the XL size Vittoria Airliner. I use the stronger Bontrager SE5 3.0 tire rather than the stock XR4. I spend a lot of time smashing through North East USA rock gardens at speed without any failures on that setup. The stock rims are too flexy for high speeds so I replaced with Line 40 carbon rims. In case you are wondering I'm not sponsored by Trek. I just think the Stache, with the right setup, would be great at Mega. So the 29+ might not be as entertaining as watching Blake suffer on a fatty but it would be an interesting experiment of an unconventional setup
