RockShox Super Deluxe Coil Ultimate vs Vivid Ultimate

Question is simple: Which one is better choice for enduro? I don't mind about weight or pedalability because I'll have it on an e-bike: Sresh CF

Yes, I know that coil has less adjustability and you need find the right spring rate, but if you have the perfect setting for your coil and air, which one is a better choice?

Why doesn't someone make a drop bar that is compatible with flat bar components?

As someone going through the process of trying to convert a flat bar to a drop bar, what a nightmare... can't someone just produce a drop bar with the same specs until the drop portion? and then just make some rubber hoods to go over the top of existing brake levers?

Izzo sizing

Long story short, I’m 1.76 (5,9.5’) that rides mostly gravely/flowing rides.

I had a Phantom V3 which was cramped, switched to large Izzo with short stem that worked ok. The problem is that I feel a bit stretched (really a bit) but I can’t load the front very well..

What’s your take? I’m thinking about Revel Ranger

Any thoughts on building an MTB from "scratch" (frame)?

How y'all doin my fellow mountain bikers friends?

I'm looking for entretain myself and build my next bike during this winter season, my goal is to get myself an OKish aluminun hardtail frame, a 12x deore (or SRAM equivalent), a 100mm fork (don't need anything beyond that to my typical backcountry ride) with remote lookout and some nice handlebar.

  1. Does anyone know the list of parts I need to do that?

  2. What would be a realist cost of it? I'd more than happy in using used parts or cheap brands for certain stuff like rims

  3. Anyone would strongly discourage from pursuing this endeavor?

How to chuck my bike without bending my derailleur hanger.

Kind of dumb question but as everyone knows crashing is an unfortunate part of the sport. I would be a lot more comfortable knowing that my derailleur hanger would survive everytime I bail from a sketchy spot. What do yall think about installing a set of wedge pegs as an extra layer of protection? Not exact these but a similar idea. Or just any other thoughts about bailing.

Change By Cycles

Hey everyone! I’m currently working on a project called Change by Cycles – a platform to connect people who want to buy or sell used bikes in a safe, reliable way. The idea is to support a circular economy by making it easier to give bikes a second life while benefiting both buyers and sellers.

We’d love your input! If you’re interested, I’ve put together a quick survey to understand what features and services would be most useful for you as cyclists. The survey only takes a few minutes, and your feedback would be super helpful as we develop the platform.

Bike recommendations

I’m looking to get back into mountain biking and need bike suggestions. It’s been a while since I’ve ridden and I’m mostly interested in riding moderate trails. I’d prefer a bike that is nimble and handles well. I’m not much of a speed demon. I’ve dissected all the geometry, but would prefer to hear from those of you that know. I’m leaning towards a hardtail in the $2000ish range. Tell me what you’d pick and why!
