I replaced my bottom bracket. The brand is bucklos 122.5/68mm. I measured my old bottom bracket and the new one (bucklos) is around 2-3mm shorter than the one that I'm replacing. The manual that came with it says a difference of 3-5mm will not be a problem so I proceeded installing it. The drive side sits perfectly however, when I put the non-drive side, it went deeper and the thread of the frame is exposed. Will this be a problem in the future? Is there a way to fix this? Thanks in advance for your responses.

Finally replaced the creaking seatpost clamp.

Just sitting in my yard admiring my Manzanita cycles , Manifesto. AKA Blue Steel. This was born here in Reno NV just a few short miles from my house, built for our local trails. It's hard to believe I held each tube before it was a bike. I watched the builder mindfully cut each joint to perfection. I held and drooled over the bare steel, and learned about how they are butted. This year my steeds didn't see much trail time, which is hard to say. I went from a 1000 miles summer to a summer with less than 100 miles. Work, kids summer schedules and hot AF Reno heat.

But I can feel it, the shoulder season is right around the corner. Tahoe is about to get even more magical than it already is. Summer crowds have left and crisp morning air with tacky trails approaching . Im ready for some flow high alpine leaf peeping trails, and super slow rocky tech crawling. These 2.6 tires and low PSI love to eat. Give you bike some live because good times are coming!!

Climbs like a dream, even with the Hans Dampfs. But the real fun starts when you point it down ✌️😎

Been having a great time on this metal rig. Zero grams of carbon. 28lbs. Divorce present to myself.

Hallo zusammen,

ich würd mir gern nen Hardtail zulegen, um zügige Runden im Wald zu drehen, ohne vor unwegigem Gelände halt machen zu müssen.

Ich hab mich mittlerweile auf entweder das Canyon Exceed CF 8 ( https://www.canyon.com/de-de/fahrrad-outlet/mountainbike/exceed-cf-8/3989.html?dwvar_3989_pv_rahmenfarbe=M160_P03&dwvar_3989_pv_rahmengroesse=L ) im Sale für 2700€ oder das Trek Procaliber 9.5 Gen 3 https://www.trekbikes.com/de/de_DE/bikes/mountainbikes/crosscountry-mountainbikes/procaliber/f/F312/procaliber-9-5-gen-3/47223/5323529
festegelgt.

Was für Canyon spricht ist, dass ich Rennrad und Gravelbike von Canyon fahre und damit zufrieden bin.

Trek sieht an sich auch interessant aus und würde wahrscheinlich auch seinen Zweck erfüllen.

Hat jemand von euch Erfahrungen, die er teilen kann? Vielleicht saß ja schonmal jemand zufällig auf beiden und kann was preisgeben :)

Beste Grüße

Manu

Was given a purple chromag saddle from a buddy. It feels pretty nice but curious what you guys think of the colour palette. Doesn't quite match but purple is still rad

Is this a good frame to start with? I ride mostly flat XC trails in Florida and have parts laying around to build it up. Also can't find if this has a UDH.

Marche region perfect for gravel , mtb and relax on the beach

Decided to get back on a mountain bike for the first time in a decade, and figured I’d take the opportunity to do my first custom build as well. Learned a lot putting it together:

Cotic BFE with the glow in the dark paint, Lyrik Ultimate 3.1 RC2 150mm, XT M8100 groupset with RF turbine cranks and XT pedals, Hope TR4s with 203mm floating rotors, Hope HS/BB, PNW Loam 170mm dropper and lever, Chromag Limber saddle, I9 stem, Renthal Fatbar Lite, AMS berm grips, Reserve 30 SL AL/DT350DEG hubs with 2.6” Forekaster front, Rekon rear.

Will be replacing the Lezyne cage with a Fidlock since it’s too hard to get in and out that far up the triangle and still trying to figure out the on-bike tool storage, since the Hot Laps Gripper doesn’t really grab to thin steel tubes all that well. Stoked to finally get back on the trails!
