Re: Wow that is really nice love those gold avalanche's

All good thanks

Ah me! Been lurking occasionally... More frequently lately though! Hope you're well THM

Who me?!...

I like no padding for quick rides or trials but on longer rides on rough terrain some padding is nice.

Re: Interesting! I have seen that most of the gmbn people prefer no gloves. Sam pilgrim doesn't wear them, neither does Matt Jones and Ali Clarkson rarely wears them. Maybe it's because they record in short clips and aren't riding long enough to get sweaty.

I prefer to ride with gloves as I find my hands get sweaty and I loose grip. I also like a slim grip on my bars, I use a lock on grip but one's with only one clamp on the inside. I see a lot of people on YouTube who prefer to ride with no gloves. So what's your preference and why?

Re: That's really nice do you have any close ups of the cnc'd parts?

Re: I serviced a deore hub using a newer deore hub that had one slightly different part but I managed to make it work using some parts from the old one. Here is a deore hub perfectly usable and serviceable https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/mob ... p-prod3310 Here is an XT...

Re: Re: And then half of the rim life has been literally worn away! I too am a competent working on bikes and have built many bikes and fixed/serviced bikes for friends and know how to set up brakes properly.

That's quite funny as I think rim brakes look ugly now... But they are simple and reliable

Re: Rim brakes are fine until its wet or muddy then disc brakes are just better! One of the big bonuses with disc brakes is that you know when the disc wears out you can just bolt on a new one. Rim brakes you have to buy a new rim and rebuild the wheel! I used to preach for rim brakes until I...

Re: That looks really nice in green! Gt bikes for me were so cool in the 90s I had a 94 timberline and it just felt cool when I was 12 ish. Late 90s Kona took over when I got a 99 fire mountain after the gt got stolen. Still love gt's though!

Re: Can't see the chainring causing a problem at the cassette end. Maybe the chain isn't routed through the derailleur correctly and not getting enough wrap round the cassette?

Re: I would second that deore is not budget! Deore is what I would generally go for because its good value not budget. For me all the new trends are too expensive anyway!

Re: I used this guide by Ali Clarkson to build my first wheel and I found it made it really simple! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=p2jTrJYJGd8 Kyle

Re: Just get a different derailleur a lot simpler
