I have a 2024 diamondback Yowie 3, and i want to do a full rebuild but i am afraid to take the housing out of the frame if there is no guide to easily put it back through
Hey all,
In my town we've had a bike jump on the side of a very chill neighborhood road for almost ten years. I don't know if any of the local e bike kids have been using it, but when I went to session it today it was obscured by a car parked. As you can see on the map it is not on any bodies property.
I plan on checking tomorrow, and If it's still there I want to leave a note or something.
Whats the best way to approach this problem? We really don't want to have to build another one somewhere else.
Just finished getting it out together and adjusted. Taking out tomorrow for some downhill testing and fun.
Was talking with my hands. Root covered in leaves took me tf out. This is why I hate fall riding. I think I broke a rib. Wrist hurts. Leg hurts. This never happens. Last week some random local child asked me how to wheelie, I invited him biking, his mom said it's cool, and I told him so much about trail/rider safety, and then did this in front of him on the greenest of greens today. End of season.
I landed in poison ivy and I find it hilarious.
I first hunted down a old rock shox seat post which with the white brothers fork makes just about every single bump or drop feel like a pillow. I then managed to snag a Thompson x4 stem for an absolutely incredible bargain. And finally I absolutely wrecked my bank account on custom anodized titanium handle bars that pair fantastically with the old dean titanium frame. I then put on some old Shimano climb grips and just like that shes already vastly more capable than before.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a bike cover to be used on a bike rack? I’m looking for something tight fitting and waterproof but not with the $400+ price tag of a velo sock. Ideally it should have an opening on the bottom for a lock and fit 29” and potentially 32” wheels. I also want it to be snug on a single bike. The rack is on my van and up very high, so I’d probably cover the bike then lift it onto the rack.
My local bike shop has this transition relay on sale for $6299+ tax. Here is a link to the specs: https://www.transitionbikes.com/Bikes/Closeout/Relay
For anyone that has a transition, do you like it? Just for reference I am in Central Arkansas so the terrain is very Chunky with lots of roots and rocks.
I really like the 2 in 1 on this bike since the battery is removable saving about 5lbs.
Is this a good deal? over 40% savings from original retail price.
Digging through some old photos and came across this beauty. Around '96 I think, got robbed of course but man I miss it. Best bike I ever had. I'd built a bike from scratch buying practically everything from Merlin Cycles out of MTBUK, weekly with cheques my mum used to write and send off (mad thought now). Finished the build (got a few bad pics) and it got robbed 2 months later. Insurance paid out with the money behind the counter of Freewheel Cycles and I could go and pick what I wanted. That frame was hanging behind the counter and made my mind up immediately. I'll never forget it.

New mountain biker here. I picked up this bike last November and have absolutely loved getting into mountain biking. I ride this Ripmo AF and my e-mtb 4-5 times a week depending on how my legs are feeling. And even though I am 54m, I very much prefer riding my Ripmo AF over my e-mtb because of the way it handles. That said, I can’t help but think it could be better. I know it’s an entry level bike so I am wondering if it’s worth upgrades to wheels, components, possibly shocks or wiser to get a better all-around bike and carbon frame? All of my riding is xc. Usually 10-15 miles averaging 1500-2000’ climbing and long switch back, some rocky and flowy descents. I’m not a jumper. I’m working on riding technique and cornering and wondering if new wheels and slightly thinner tires help. I realize mostly, I need to improve as a rider but still wondering if it’s worth putting money into my current bike or trading up. All input appreciated!
Edit: My ignorance referring to the Ripmo as “Entry Level”. Clearly not an accurate statement by a newbie, lol.
Anyone transport there bike this way? With both wheels off, I think the bike will fit in my car. What I'm not sure of though is when taking front and back wheels off often, does the alignment of the rotor to the brake pads stay consistent, given there is maybe a mm of free space between the two pads and the rotor? In other words if you have no rubbing, will it stay that way? Tks
Update: There's no trailer hitch compatible with my car, the trunk carriers are not compatible because it has a small wing, and the suction type carriers make me nervous. Lastly, worried a roof rack might scratch my paint. Hence why I'm asking about taking off both wheels.
Picked up a new-to-me Trek and then promptly broke my wrist. Was unable to ride all summer but now the cast is off and I can ride again!
Here is my setup.
I tried to remove my back wheel, but accidentally removed the wrong bolt in the wrong direction. And now I think that my frame is cooked. What do I do now?
Got the Rig back out best HT ive ever owned .
New tires. Maxxis Minion DHF 26 x 2.30
Have not had the chance to ride with them yet...
Just wanted to share the photo and happiness I felt finally getting New tires. That is all.
I’m new to mountain biking and want to purchase my first bike. I have a budget around $750 which isn’t a lot but I want to get used. I found a few Trek Roscoe’s and have heard good things but can only find in medium frames. I am 5’10 165lbs would I be comfortable one one? Any other bike recommendations?
