  • The PNW Components Rainier Gen 3 was a Lost Co favorite dropper post for quite some time, but last year PNW released the Loam Dropper. The Loam is only $20 more, but are the benefits great enough to justify the equivalent of spending about two burritos more on? In this comparison, we cover the similarities and differences between the PNW Components Rainier Gen 3 and Loam dropper posts, and help decide which is best for you.

      Yah the reverb is the worst dropper I have ever used! Bought it new and it became useless about a week later. got sticky and even after a full service it still just stopped working completely and had to throw it out bucause SRAM wouldn't take it back

    Love the channel and loved (and miss) the riding in Bellingham. Is Sully still living at the base of Lake Padden trails? Grew up in White Rock and Lake Padden was our go-to for xc loops. Mind you this was 30 years ago. Morning espresso shots at Sullys and then up the fire road to the top. Great times. Keep up the good work! Hope you had a good time in Whis

    I was afraid of weight until I realized it doesn't hurt my kind of riding. I ride dh casing tires now and thinking about cush core. Feeling the burn on those hills is not a bad thing when I have more fun/opportunities to shred.

    I have a question, this doesn't have anything to do with this video but i figured you may know the answer, I just watched a video stating that you can save weight by removing the centrifugal clutch weights from behind the Cassette, is this true? it came from a channel that in my opinion is pretty knowledgeable. Would their be any repercussions from doing this? Thanks

      Due to dealer agreements, Fox dealers can not ship Fox products outside of their country. Unfortunately, you will need to source your Fox parts from a dealer within your home country.

    Hey one year ago you tested the Marzochi bomber cr. Currently i am planing to buy a new coil shock and cant decide between the Marzochi and the RS Super Deluxe coil ultimate. What do you think is better in performance?

    • @TheLostCo
      @TheLostCo  Před 2 lety +1

      The Super Deluxe has a better damper, but more adjustments. If you take the time set up the Super Deluxe, it will perform quite nicely. Please give us a call or shoot us an email and we can help you further!

    I have an 11 speed Shimano drivetrain and I’m looking to convert to 12 speed, are there any ways to do this without completely replacing the drivetrain?

    • @dtolios
      @dtolios Před 2 lety

      Either stick with M5100 11 sp that practically has the range of the 12s cassettes (11-51T) or use a SunRace cassette with any combination of M6100/7100/8100 RD & shifter. This way you don't need to replace your rear hub or wheel, as all 12s Shimano Cassettes will require a micro spline rear hub.
