There's something fun about having good, bad, and questionable ideas when you're out mountain biking and challenging your friends to try them out. When it comes to MTB and questionable ideas, Rich and Blake are masters of the art - that became clear during a recent ride at the Forest Of Dean! The guys decided to challenge each other to a few different gaps and lines, and just about came away unscathed...

GG Neil. Seriously though, I was confused about Rich and Neil for a couple of months of watching GMBN, partly because I didn't really watch all the videos, rather listened to them mostly.

To help Blake distinguish between Neil and Rich, one of them should wear a moustache, the other a goatee. 😂

12:05 in the background is a trek marlin 7, I have one. Such a good bike. I upgraded mine with Maxxis tires and a Shimano Deore LinkGlide drivetrain. Hoping to get a dropper post and RockShox Judy Silver later this summer.

I've had that bike as a possible candidate too. But I got a Grand Canyon 7 instead, it already had a Judy Silver and a dropper post.

My friend put this bike together for his son and before I knew it he was done kzfaq.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L When the son came to put it together he was surprised to see it was already done. All he had to do was take the bike to get air and be on his way. My friend did not have any major problems putting this bike together; small issue was putting one of the brakes on straight; however when the son got home he was able to fix it. The bike rides well gears move correctly; good bike for the price. Wrote review after the son took the bike. Sorry.

anyone know a cure for that sound, got a set of shimano xt hydraulic brakes that sound 10x worse than this, seems to be getting worse as time goes on, done about 100 miles so far and its driving me crazy thanks

@mixification 10 ай бұрын

Your brake pads are probably contaminated. If your using sintered pads you can take them out and move them side to side over an open flame to burn off any contaminants (just don't hold it there for too long) and then lightly sand off the charred bits on a flat surface and clean with alcohol. The other option is to replace the pads. You have to clean the rotors and callipers with alcohol too otherwise they will get contaminated again.
