Mountain Biking General Guess we should make a new if any of the regular anons still want to post about mtbing and haven't fucked off completely from this website. Spring-time in the NH so I guess those that don't bother riding in the winter will be getting back out now.
I can't remember what all the stuff in the old OPs was - did anyone use or read it? - should have made this new before the two old ones got deleted from the archive then so it could be just copy & pasted.
Hot clear day here, like it has been for a good couple of weeks. >64° in Aprilroasting
Was everyone else too retarded to figure out the new captcha, a bot or just sick of this place?
I'm been having a great time. I went out three times so far. Not being able to ride the trails in the winter sorta sucks. Maybe next year we'll try skiing.. I need to tune my MTB suspension. I'm getting a lot of pedal strikes..
>>260198It was kinda junk. Just shitty mtb buying info. Considering we just went the whole winter and part of spring with no thread we could stand to get some newbies asking the same questions.Also hello from Sedona, my dad and I are on a trip here. I was not prepared for the desert. I drank the 2 liters of water I brought and got sunburnt.Tech is pretty fun. Lots of exposure on the tech sections which makes them difficult mentally. But we're just chilling on the blues.
>>260738yes>>260741fat tire bikes are more fun than you might think. you do have to figure out the clothing angle before going down the rabbit hole and the right conditions are inconsistent but you can get up to some shenanigans on nice freeze-thaw crusty matrix. >>260807try the Maah Daah Hey at some point in your life. Maybe not this year, the federal library is opening and everything is going to be bullshit for a while.
>>260741>I need to tune my MTB suspension. I'm getting a lot of pedal strikes..On the same boat but with several down tube strikes with rocks. Waited a month to get the Vivid tune kit delivered to me. Its mostly rebound speed which is too low. I'll switch from R25(progressive) to R53(linear) to speed thing up and lower the compression from C34 to either C30/26. On the zeb I'll just put a go with the light rebound and burnishing the lowers. I just need to mechanic to answer me back, mf left me on delivered and my suspension feels like crap
>>261140Oh in terms pf suspension tuning, I was just gonna set the set the air pressure to my weight. I ordered the special shock pump that goes to like 250 psi. I've noticed may rear shock is weeping a little oil. I'm uncertain how big of a problem that is
