Can they get rid of the smell?

Can’t believe that he must have a separate tent for poos.

Apparently the deadly yellow snow crystals can affect vision.

Help guys, it won't stay up....

I mean the dropper post. I sit on it and it drops bit by bit. Recently bled. Goes up normal sped but not stupid fast.

Brand? Model? It's probably fucked and you need a new more expensive one

Can't seem to find any notable marking on it - it's 2015 vintage so I guess it's time. What's the verdict for a dropper these days? Just tell me what to buy and try to be gentle on the wallet

Bike Yoke Revive.
Beautiful build qual, user bleeding function. Buy once, buy right.

Best Bang for yerr buck?
Brand-X/Trans-X dropper.
Cheap, strong, nothing fancy. Does the job really well.
Buy another one when it fails or throw a new cartridge in it.

Brand-X/Trans-X dropper.

I was kind of thinking brandX might be the way to go given the decent RB review. Not about to drop (hehe) $450 on a post. Might just do that then - too much overthinking. Thanks folks.

 

[Flow-Rider]

The X-Fusion ones look pretty good too.

Droppers all work good in the beginning but once they start to play up it seems to be the end of them or an expensive repair that's worth more than the dropper itself.

X-fusion manic. 1X lever and $150 delivered from Cycling Deal. Internal though.

Yep was looking at that - just need to check what sort of routing is on my bike right now as it's internal only.

I hereby summon the knowledge wizards of rotorburn and humbly request the sharing of thy wisdom and zings.

Replacing Shimano XT brake pads.

I am currently running the ones with the fins, LBS wanted $60 a pair, twice the price sans finz, so I'll use the non finned jobbies, but

What are my chances of de-finning my worn pads and combo-ing it with my new finless pads, in the interest of sustainability (of my wallet) ?

 

[pink poodle]

I'd say this is very unlikely to work.

 

[moorey]

Zero. Probably. Good luck.

Buy online a lot cheaper than $60, or use no finned. I often run finned on rear only...heavy rear braker here.

I left it a little late for online (doh), I'm mostly XC dabbling in Enduro, was hoping to get stuck into the Enduro stuff a bit more soon.

Bugger. Could express post you a set if you’re desperate.
The way I ride, I really don’t notice any improvement...I just think they look prettier.
