  1. Yes,175mm is better(coupled with right gear ratio of course).
  2. And they say I´m negative lol.
  3. 1400something without BB if I´m not mistaken.
  4. He is riding bit "different" though
  5. Hardly a problem with double wheel chain tensioner...
  6. Even with water bleed spring in HS lever is harder to pull than well set vee. But yes, it does make quite big difference.
  7. Vees are easier to pull=fewer motoric units have to contract=less lactic acid=less pain
  8. Well,lactic acid build up happens because there´s not enough oxygen to cover muscle needs.Why?Because there is not enough blood flowing trough them.Why?Because when you hold your brake(or rock or barbell or...)your forearm muscles are under constant tension,which compreses blood vessels in muscles, so there´s effective reduction in blood flow. Don´t hold levers all the time and that will let some blood to get in there and lactic acid out...Easy as that.
  9. 18:13 or 18:14 for more trialsy than street riding.
  10. The one which fits would be my choice.
  11. I´ve had urbans for 3years then sold them...2012were the weak ones, 2013 are good forks for that price.
  12. Yes it´s easy, but stupid at the same time...
  13. Just because you don´t like em doesn´t mean they are negative Definitely more useful than your advice too.
  14. BB5 is at least as powerful as BB7 and is stiffer(quite important for cable operated rear brake).
  15. Kevlar reinforced hose doesn´t flex any more than braided hose. Tyres are good, lighter tubes, double butted spokes/alloy nipples maybe? Lighter rotors,ti BB etc.
  16. We might have something in common huh?
  17. Trying things is fine, but when something is perfect, why ffs would I change it?Am I not correct (A) ? Geeez. He WAS SATISFIED with his setups and kept saying how awesome they were, yet he keeps changing them. If you are satisfied, just ride that damn thing and save your money for more important or neccessary things.
  18. Because worse parts won´t make your riding or feel of the bike any better, pretty simple to me? Also constantly changing parts won´t help. But what do I know...Also Dann you aren´t the smartest or most mature guy are you? Just kidding, I know you are a kid.
  19. Variety is nice, but not when it comes to brakes. Or freewheels. Or bikes as a whole. And yes it´s cold here, shitload of snow everywhere.
  20. He was satisfied with vee brake setup, disc brake setup and now he went back to maggies...What I see is one hella confused begginer who don´t know what he is after. No pun intended.
