Hope Tech 3 E4 Brakes Reviewed - NSMB.com
WEBAug 26, 2015 · Now in retrospect it may have been a bad idea have the two Brits on the NSMB team, Seb and Jon, reviewing the Hope Tech 3 E4 brakes. Misty-eyed reminiscing of the homeland could have swayed their experience with the brakes but they are both professionals and able to put these allegiances aside, right?
The NSMB Podcast: Mike Ferrentino – Part I
WEBNov 16, 2021 · Haha! Well maybe that included his California-Mexico explorations of the same year too, I can't remember exactly the details. But he did quite a meandering ride through Europe and Asia, passing through Indonesia, Tibet, China and a lot of remote places on his way to reach those 20K that year.
Stashed Spacerail Bike Storage system - NSMB.com
WEBJan 18, 2024 · The mounting plates that came with my system were flat so I needed to tighten them to the rails before screwing them into the drywall. In Stashed's installation video, which I have posted below, the mounting plates have a drop so you can bolt them to the ceiling and then tighten the rail to plates with a box end wrench, which would have …
Formula Cura 4 Brake Review - NSMB.com
WEBFeb 21, 2020 · The Formula. Formula has been manufacturing mountain bike disc brakes in Italy since 1993. Their press claims theirs was 'the first disc brake in mountain bike history' but to be fair it was the first hydraulic system with Hope and possibly other companies producing cable-actuated systems previously. Regardless, as much as I'm happy with …
Transition Spire Ridden and Reviewed - NSMB.com
WEBFeb 16, 2022 · Ride Impressions Climbing. I'm impressed with how efficient the Spire is to pedal. You wouldn't think you're on a long travel bike. Transition claims a bike weight of 33.3 lbs for the medium, I measured the XL at an impressively light 33.5 lbs with a heavier-duty Super Gravity front tire, bottle cage and pedals.
2023 Santa Cruz Nomad Review - NSMB.com
WEBMar 17, 2023 · I got the Nomad one afternoon during Crankworx. The Santa Cruz guys set up the bike based on their suspension setup chart recommendations, set the tire psi and seat height and voila, the test began. I made a few adjustments of my own: cutting down the Santa Cruz 35 carbon bars from 800 mm to 760 mm, swapped out the WTB Silverado Ti …
TRP Slate EVO Brakes Reviewed - NSMB.com
WEBMar 17, 2022 · TRP ships all of their brakes bled and plugged, with the hose attached at the caliper end. It should be as easy as threading the hose through your frame, mounting the levers and calipers, cutting your lines to fit and bolting it all together.
Specialized Diverge Expert Carbon - NSMB.com
WEBJan 13, 2023 · As soon as I put a dropper post - the Easton EA70AX - on the Canyon Grizl CF8 I reviewed last year, I knew I'd need one on all my gravel bikes going forward. While the 50mm afforded by this RockShox AXS XPLR Reverb may not seem like much, it makes a significant difference in my comfort levels descending at speed, and through technical …
Blowing Minds: Santa Cruz Blur - NSMB.com
WEBJul 13, 2021 · Revelatory on the climbs or not, my main curiosity was how the Blur would be on the descents. I was told it was definitely not a Tallboy, so I was apprehensive that the Blur would be too skittish to be pushed through corners or that the tires would be terrifying even in dry conditions, meaning my training rides were going to be something to be …
