Humm,…. flat pedal mtb shoes? Why? Do they have carbon on the insole
Starting out as a BMX rider, I can tell you that you don’t have to have to
clipless pedals do do bunny hops. I used to be able to bunny hop over a
trash can lying on its side when I was a teenager. ;-)
lock-on grips <3
Riser bars, short stems and angle headsets
Mine is the sport :)
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what a good mountain bike (hardtail)
is that is under $400? I currently have a 1999 trek 4300 that is worn out
and the shocks are very loose and they bottom out when i go off a curb. I
like Giant, Trek, and Specialized. I tried out my friends Trek 4500 with
rockshox and it was the smoothest riding bike I had ever been on.
Feel free to list any bikes that are under $400 or that have rockshox or
any kind of bike with a lockout fork.
Thanks, Carson.

Something we all take for granted now is the threadless headset setup with
the stem clamping around the top of the fork steerer but bikes always used
to have the threaded setup with a quill stem inserted down inside a
threaded steerer. Threaded works okay but when comparing the two the
threadless setup is simpler, lighter, stiffer and a more elegant solution.
I remember when I first saw a threadless headset setup and thought ‘yeah
that makes sense’
Hydraulic disc brakes?
More aggressive rake angles!
Awesome video. I am on the market to buy a mountain downhill bike. Please
suggest a bike that has all these features and is worth. Thank you i am 100
kilos so is there a fit for me?
What dropper post do you use
Suspension – but more specifically lockout. Made the full sus MTB much more
versatileand capable really
I was riding my cube analog 29 yesterday and the rear wheel buckled in a

I ride a decade old hardframe mountain bike I got at a garage sale. All the
parts are working, clean, and maintained, but how much am I limited by not
having all the new stuff, like disk-brakes, front and real suspension, ect.
