Been swapping my bikes back to triples lately after doing this convertion a few years ago. The hills are steep around here and I ain't getting any younger. Also can go much faster on the flat with a triple.

You also gotta check for flat spots on rims. I know there not very common, but there super annoying. Riding rims with a flat spot isn’t dangerous on alloy rims, but it feels wonky and normally results in buying new rims.

Hey I have a question. Can I swap out fork on my trek marlin 6 gen 3 2023 for a fork with diffrent offset
@dirtwolfmtb 14 күн бұрын
@@Rokocubric you can do anything you want. It will just change the geo of the bike. Marlin 6 is pretty steep head angle factory making it easy to steer and climb. Look at videos on “head angle” and “trail”. Trail is changed when the offset changes. The Trail affects the steering axis.

You can’t check for dropper movement but every sub £200 dropper I ever seen has a bit of slack after a while. Especially the Brand X Ascent (not knocking it, it’s an outstanding post considering it’s also the cheapest!)
@dirtwolfmtb Ай бұрын
I rebuilt it. And it had zero play afterwards. Go to KZfaq and search “how to service a Brand X Dropper post” you will see you get a seal and pin kit. When the pins are worn it will develop excessive side to side play like this had.

@dirtwolfmtb 3 ай бұрын
Just shift into the smallest front ring first and see if you’ll like it. Most riding I’ve done on pretty heavy climbing hills a 1x9 or 1x10 or 1x11 works great. Just ensure if you do it you look at the cranks to see if they are riveted or not, if they are like this one, had to grab a used crank set.

Could i suggest following each "check" with what to check? Without, this lacks any meaningful suggestions. For example, check the chain by measuring wear like this.... Also, repeat on dropper comments above. Some play can be totally fine and not a sign of wear depending on the dropper.
