Crank Brothers Cleats Are Stiff

The metal in the cleat is softer than the metal in the pedal (sorry for the rhyme). Ride, let the cleat wear in.

Hardtail is the way for me right now, budget ~2000K. If I save a bit longer I'd like to try titanium.

Hey Josh, thanks for the insight. I like the idea of same size wheels as my road bike - easy transition as I will be riding both. A demo bike is a great idea, there are four bike shops nearby in Bell…

If you haven't already picked something up, what is your budget? Do you know if you want a hardtail or full suspension rig?

Valid points on the 26/29" arguments either way... we do a lot of both at our shop. If you're doing a lot of fire roads, a 29er will be very efficient, rolling more like a road bike. For me, it's an easier transition if you're riding two bikes. It j…

Ah sorry, it is my 26er that is for sale. An Ellsworth Truth.

Really good info Mike, thank you. Ok, gotta ask, what 29er do you have for sale?

Paul Ricci replied to Paul Ricci's discussion 'I wanna MTB'
Steep to rolling hills, rooty trails, fire roads, switch backs and gentle curves. Summers are dry winters are wet/sometimes muddy.

Your fit comments are very fair. I just think that suspension is more important that 26 vs 29. For technical uphill riding, a hard tail is fine. For downhill, I can say I have avoided many serious crashes in the Sierra having rear travel. As for tir…

Well fit is all relative. I know of female racers that are 5 foot tall and have no issues on their 29ers. I also know a few people my size that don't fit their 26er and they always have lower back strain. Many of the name brands have 29ers as well a…

I think there are a few more downsides to a 29ner. It's a tough fit for a smaller rider (not unavailable, just not a lot to choose from) and less choice in available tires. There's not doubt in will roll over obstacles with greater ease compared to…

Since I got my first 29er I'll never ride a 26er again (I have a nice one for sale btw). The 29er will help with rolling over roots and rocks. I my opinion both my 29er HT and FS have better control than my 26er (the 26er is no crappy bike either, i…
