    Just about destroyed not just one but two pairs of the new Impact VXI shoes (bought 2 pairs in once because they felt good) in about two months. The sole rips off and starts peeling. Otherwise nice shoes but the sole is just not up for it. Has anybody got them warrantied? Emailed the European HQ...

    Totally clutch, or why I give a **** about 10 speed now

    Someone in MTBR was running Zee 10s clutch der with Sram 9s shifter and 9s cassette. Apparently the ratio is same or close enough...

    Anyone running a tube inside a UST tire for racing ?

    Yeah, but no matter how many new valve holes you drill it will still leak from the hole of the tubed valve? I don't understand the purpose of running tube inside tubeless tire. Is the idea that if the tube punctures it leaks air into the tire? If you pinch flat a tube and the tire's still good...

    My new Trek Session is here!

    I personally don't give a fvck about what your bike weights but the Parktool scale gives very unaccurate numbers when you mount it like that (not pointing straight down). Better way is to let it hang from the shoe lace thing that it comes with.

    Mavic Deemax rim with non-deemax hubs?

    Thanks to everybody clearing this up for me. Seems like it's not worth it since I'd have to buy the deemax spokes... those aren't really cheap. The rims I could get separately in somewhat reasonable price, but...

    Mavic Deemax rim with non-deemax hubs?

    Sweet! Did you use the EX823 nipple inserts, because those nipples look like the deemax ones?

    Mavic Deemax rim with non-deemax hubs?

    Yeah I know that. What I'm really wondering is if it would be possible to replace the deemax nipples with nipple inserts from Mavic EX823 rim. That would allow me to use regular nipples just like I would with EX823 rims.

    Mavic Deemax rim with non-deemax hubs?

    Deemax rear wheel has 32 spokes. I know I can't just go and use regular nipples with the rim... That's why I wonder if the EX823 nipple inserts would fit and allow me to use regular nipples.

    Mavic Deemax rim with non-deemax hubs?

    I'm tooling around with an idea of building wheels with Deemax Ultimate rims and Hope pro 2 hubs. I have few questions regarding this. 1. Do the Deemax spoke nipples thread into the rim? 2. If so could I use EX823 nipple inserts to replace the Deemax nipples and use regular spokes and...

    2011 Demo Questions

    I think the cable routing is pretty good. Theres one thing that I've noticed though. The cables will rub your rear tire when the suspension compresses. This is easily fixed with some cable ties so no big deal.

    2011 Demo Questions

    Since when they've changed the design of the vivid? Would the old ones work if you remove the rebound knob? EDIT: Oh nevermind, I just remembered what the rebound knob looks like on the old vivid (you cant really remove it). Does anybody know if it's possible to upgrade the eyelet piece to a...

    Troy Lee Designs / Shock Doctor gear review (ride and crash tested)

    Hey nice review. I'm currently wearing 661 core saver with leatt. It fits ok but I would like to have some better shoulder protection and why not better fit. However I would not like to compromise spinal protection without having any hard plastic there. Do you think that the BP 5850 (or BP...
