11,000 plus miles on my 920 with drop bars, and it's perfect. You just need to size down one frame size. I did upgrade to brifter shifting like the later 920s had for better technical trail riding.

the flat pedals with sharp bolts are best, and work best with proper mtb shoes, problem is these shoes are designed to get gripped by the bolts, mine are covered in holes in the bottom, i suggest a hybrid shoes with hybrid clip in system if your wallet allows it, i have hybrid shoes and i just toss in my flat pedals,

You saved me dog, thanks

BBC hoods - must've evolved from the roadie camp. i guess some people enjoy squeezing a hard black hood all day, its not for me...

Part of using a compackt space its Being Well Organized 😂 If you dont fold your clothes. They dont fit very well Anywhere lol

The prices on all the wavecel helmets are all over the place, and don't include all the same features, there is two mountain bike helmets one is 300 the other 150...go figure...

Brilliant! Thank you! this is the best bike maintenance tip I have seen in the last year. It helped me achieve a decisive victory in my fight with a loose fitting, hard to seal mtb tire . I did not have a rubber rim strip but i did have a inner tube. I used a 26' tube over the 27.5' mtb tire and presto, the bead seated. Once again, Brilliant and thank you!

my trike dealer raves about these

I did not keep these shoes long enough to make a full review so Ill make this quick. I got really excited about the Asics Trabuco trail running shoes and saw that the 11s were on sale since the 12s were released. Fit and step in feel were excellent. Grip was absolutely incredible. Midsole is a bit stiff but protective and may have broken in over time. Ultimately I returned them for exchange because I couldnt get a good lockdown from the upper and worst of all I could not stop the shoes from loosening up even after switching laces. This meant that the fit would get sloppy and quite unstable on technical terrain. I have a friend who bought the Trabuco 12 shortly after which has a completely different upper and he is very impressed. As a result I would recommend spending the extra on the 12 at full price or waiting until they go on sale next year. This shoe may work well for some, it has many good things going for it but the upper just didnt work for me.

How wide is the bontrager shoe?

All was going well... ...until he mounted a bent flag pole in his head-set. It was at that time he acquired the nickname "Pterodactyl" and orthopaedic surgeons started giving him their business cards. "Call me when you're shoulders develope excruciating pain."

The 700 x 41 mm versio is a nightmare to get on the rims. Avoid.

hi does the shifter have to match the same brand as the Derailleur ?

I'm a newby to SURLY and am curious about the difference between the KARATE MONKEY & KRAMPUS? Is it mainly that the KRAMPUS accommodates 29+ tyres?

I feel like that is a different version of my rally wavecel helmet yours is probably too small

Anyone who is interested in these bars can find them here UPANBIKE Urban Road Bike Bicycle... www.amazon.com/dp/B072347G4M?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share They are 640mm wide with an unknown amount of rise. There are nicer bars in this shape but on a budget they seem to be a good value.

Would love to do put those bars on my wifes Mt bike. She has wrist issues and that much sweep on that bar would work perfectly. Could you please share a link or the name ane dimensions including rise and sweep? Its confusing to know which bar has the dimensions you got. So many choices. Thanks man and I'm a new subscriber good content bro!

I have a Trek 920, it's the Landrover Defender of the Cycle World, I love it.

So, the money saved can be spent on otherwise overlooked areas of the bike or related equipment or tools.

I don't ride mountain bikes, in fact quite the opposite. I ride a steel frame single speed bike, and love these pedals. I have big feet and they never caused me any discomfort even in long rides, something that the typical stock pedal did. Regarding grip, zero issues even in the wet. I use normal running type shoes, the soles get a bit of damage from the studs at first but then it's fine. I've had a couple pedal strikes during sharp turns so far in +3000km

What a great tip. Worked a treat on the hardest tyres I've ever tried. Thanks!

I have this exact frameset. My components are different though. I run SRAM Force 1X11 with Bontrager Pro3V carbon wheels and rotate different tires....Pirelli CinturatoM 35mm, Pirelli CinturatoH 40mm. Been riding and racing this setup for the past 2 years. Easily one of my all time favorite bikes. Absolutely love it on gravel, cross courses and even road. It's one of the best all-rounders I've ever ridden. As an aside, I do run a JPP Conversions front axle so I can run 12mm vs the 15mm "odd" size axle. 12mm gives WAY more wheel options as so few now have 15mm capability.

The telescope road is closed to the public bro. Its a pretty rough gravel ride after the pavement ends with some pretty biiiig rollers. If you are looking for more good road in that area with next to none for traffic, you should check out Highway 78 going to NM, leaving from Black Jack road. Pristeen road with some excellent curves to the road.

The last one is electric and the first when you’re putting your feet down

I can ride my bike standing up with no haendl bars

all depends on the bike and usage.

This deserves to be pinned! Used an old inner tube tightened with a zip tie on a bugger of a Schwalbe Pro One. Tried all the previous methods described in the vid and this worked first time! Thank you 🙏

What size shock volume spacer did you go for? Stock is 0.4 but i'm finding I'm blowing through the travel on repeated hits on open mode. Thinking to try 0.8

Nice job god bless

I have been using the same downhill pedals for 4 years and they are great. I don't understand how someone always makes a negative comment. Ok, everyone is looking for their own perfection in driving, but for me stamp 1 are excellent.

Tubeless tires do not fit the rim properly and are thus a nightmare to get on and off if you have to patch a tube. This switch to tubeless is the dumbest move on the bicycle industry's part. Making it so difficult to remove a tire to the point where tin snips are necessary to remove it is something that will drive people away from cycling. I beg the people who thought this was a great idea to come back to tubes. They're easy to patch. They were easy to patch when tires fit the rim properly anyway...

You can greatly improve the grip of these just by replacing the pins at the front and rear with longer ones, they're just m3 cap bolts, I went with 12mm in the center and 16mm at the front and rear because you cant get 14mm ones, then I adjusted them so they protrude 8mm above the pedal body, now they're super grippy, at least on par with my old deity deftraps while being smaller and lighter, I also replaced the stock enduro bearing with a better quality one, and the stock bushing with a HK1012 needle roller bearing.

function = form, love it

Thank you!!! That method works perfectly! You saved me from nervous breakdown 😂

You don't ask for something "severely."

Did you ever do a long term review on the frame bag? I haven’t found it.

No go for me, went down to the LBS and he got it to seat right away.

I sure hope this works for me.

Wonder if a ratchet strap will work too

You just saved my race this weekend!

9 speed is more than enough. The only thing I concern is that the market support high-end derailleur for 11, 12 speed.

There’s levels to carbon and it appears that the carbon rims you put on were mid at best(considering they were heavier than the aluminum rims).

So glad you talked about the toe box room....great review!

can be 36 teeth chainring can carry the 9 speed chain and cogs?

Question, can a maxxis rekon 29x2.60 fit on stock wheels?

Hey - I know this thread is ions old by todays standards, but what size, model frame bag are you running. I see it's a Salsa, but not sure beyond that. I just bought a 2019 9.7 (17.5 frame) custom build and looking for off the shelf frame bag options. Love your setup!

Bears and Mountain lions hunt for food at dawn and dusk.. This is a dangerous time to cycle.. Hope you carried bear spray.

I just came across one on OfferUp for $150 OBO. It’s a 6061 series and not in the best shape. Thank you for this video

I can absolutely confirm this review and I wish I looked for reviews before buying these. I have been using the Stamp 1 pedals for less than a month of mild trail riding with only a handful of small jumps and drops. The raised spindle body is making the pedals pretty much unusable in choppy terrain. If you add a bit of water and mud to the mix - they become unusable even for pedalling uphill. The left pedal has developed about 1mm of play in the spindle already, while the right one is a bit better, but you can still feel the slightest bit of play in the spindle while trying to move them around with your hand. After changing the pins on the spindle body with 12mm ones the grip is fine, but having to "upgrade" cheap composite pedals to make them usable doesn't make sense.
