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 April
roasting

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..

It 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.

yes

fat 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.

try 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.

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

Oh 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

Yes, mass produce in China and sell cheap all over the world.

What kind of psi do you like to run in ykur MTB tires? I knkw it goes by rider weight. Tire size etc. What's your useg.

I want to say I'm running about 22 to 25 psi on my 29er. I recently rented a mountain bike and the dude who set my psi went to max 40 psi. I cant ride that. So i had to bleed a bunch of air out on the trail.

It also depends on terrain and conditions

I'm a 30 year old NEET this summer until Fall when I start school. gonna mountain bike multiple times a week probably.
