I don't know about that! I saw JP on that downhill section of your vid, and I am certain Marge can do much better

Yeah, but he's nuts (I mean that in a good way). I imagine that he'll ride off of anything, while Marge is relatively sane...

Edit; plus, her bike is way more prettier than his so she may be reluctant to scratch it up..

No. I didn't look though. Wasn't really impressed with that store. I did dial back my SPDs a bit so I should be able to get out of my pedals easier this time. My shins took a few days to recover from the last ride...

That would be preferable...

 

[bvibert]

Sorry. I'm such a gaper.

You did notice the , right? When I first got my bike I was a bit more diligent about cleaning it after rides. Then I realized that it's supposed to get dirty if you're using it right. Sorta like how skis are supposed to get core shots if you're using them right...

I just try to make sure that the drive train, suspension & pivots are clean. Dirt can do real damage to moving parts and bearings. After a normal ride I ussually do nothing. But if is was wet & muddy I will clean those areas.

 

[powhunter]

I usually do the same get rid of the crud in the drive train with a brush then some pedros wax lube....or I just drive into a lake

Yes, suspension pivot points, that's something that's new to me this season. I try to do enough to keep the bike operating smoothly, though I have been a little too lax on oiling the chain frequently enough in the past.

Pivot point are ussually a non-issue. But after a wet nasty ride I like to check them out just to be safe.
