I have mechanical disc brakes (Paul Klampers on my Surly) and they are lovely but they don't hold a candle to my Magura MT7s. I have never had a single problem with hydraulics and personally I find myself messing with them less then any of mechanical brakes. Bleed them once a year and forget...

I mean it isn't for me but trying new things push things forward and maybe people don't think they need to be. But having ridden my 91 Schwinn mtb on trails, a 2011 Niner RFO and now my Ragley. The modern bike is about a million times better to ride. I love 1x drivetrains and droppers.

These work pretty well inside the grips and with wider bars it is a good position.

Inspired by MattiThundrrr's thread. I figured I'd do one of bikes I like and I think so of you guys would it. Saw this cool build on Pinkbike

Thanks. No idea why I couldn't remember that.

So I am having a brain fart and struggling to remember what these rods on the front of the fork are called. I have an idea for a build I want to do one day. I am assuming they come in different lengths?

I really like my local bike shop. The number of times they have done some quick job for free or given me some little part is unbelievable. But I also don't really expect them to have a lot of stuff for older bikes in stock tbh. I mean they have limited space and older bikes are going to be a...

I thought some of you guys might enjoy this.

Continued evolution of this bike. Swapped to a Carver 1in threadless fork with IRD headset, a random eBay found 1in BMX stem, S&M Husky bars and a Surly 8 pack rack. This setup is freaking perfect. It wants to hop off everything. But the stem is missing a bolt so the handle bars want to...

Mostly I stick to off road (gravel roads or mountain biking) or roads in my area.

Welcome from someone else in the Huntsville area.

Nice. Sometimes he does reprints of the Repack Race posters that are awesome.

Beautiful old school mtbs. It does make me think how much mtbs have changed since the 90s. 26->29 Low bars->Higher bars Steep hta->Slack Long stems->short Front derauillers -> 1x Rims->Disc If aliens came to earth, I think they would have a hard time believing that these bikes were all...

This is an option I want to try out. https://us.ritcheylogic.com/us_en/comp-beacon-handlebar With the very short reach and drop it is almost like a mustache bar without the downsides. Honestly for me with dropbars, the most important thing is having multiple hand positions. There are alt...

It is becoming fairly common in mountain biking. Called mullets (generally 29in front/27.5 rear). Also there were some older ones like the Trek 69er and Specialized Big Hit.

Those look like great value and a lot of fun.
