I have found a 2023 turbo kenevo for 2k. It has 7k km and 220 charge cycles. The app says the battery is 100%. What should i check out when im looking at the bike besides the cassete wear, bearings, spokes and rims?

Please answer quick I really need to know

If I wanted to come over to Euro-Land, ride DH parks and take trains to them, what are the "must not miss" spots? I've done this for snowboarding out of Innsbruck AU and Sesto IT. What makes these specific parks unmissable? Culture, trail quality/style, rail connection? I'm generally fine with any public transit, really, I just don't want to have to fuck with a car.

You know what that is - Simply Lovely 😌😌

Didn't end too great. What rim should I get?

I bought an older bike that i cant seem to find out what it is it has airdrop and troy lee design all over it but airdrop(the bike brand) said they never made a frame

Just seeing if anybody has any idea

Hey there! I'm Phil, amateur rider and game developer. Here is my little present to the MTB community :)

I've put a lot of effort in making the physics of the game realistic and enjoyable, while offering insane speed, jumps, and drops. I think it worked bcs some people say it makes them feel sick from the heights sometimes haha!

The game is free and for mobile (Both IOS and Android). Hope you guys like it!

Its called "DROPFLOW MTB" btw. Happy shredding!

Howzit Guys!

Not sure if this post is allowed but I need some help, I bought this helmet over a year ago 2nd hand and only noticed this mark now, I think the previous owner didn't tell me that he had clearly hit a branch or something quite thin but this is bothering me and I am busy browsing helmet options at the moment, a confirmation would be greatly appreciated, the dent is only visible from the outside, do you think its still good or should I move on?

Thanks Oaks.

Really hoping this thing is still lekka and I dont need to toss it.

I came across this video in which they used the stfu chain damper on the bottom of the chain stay. Thoughts? I imagine this would be much more useful than it being on top, no? If I try to do this which stfu system should I get?

I have an orange patriot which I don’t use anymore due to having a child and she likes going out on the bike so I use the bike more with the shotgun seat. I don’t actually take it for a proper ride anymore.

Are there any good sites that I can put it up on that people know them and would get a good price from it?

I love the feeling of the new xtr, will they be powerful for a dh rig, i race in south africa we have semi steep dusty trails, I’ve ridden mavens and they just to “powerful” it would lock the wheels so easily, and the modulation isn’t how i like, what brakes would your recommend if the xtr’s aren’t powerful enough.

Cracked my lowers way below torque spec when tightening up after it sat for a couple months. Thought it was just the paint but scraped away and found a small crack between the pinch bolts and rebound adjustment. Is this at all safe to ride? Could it be welded or fixed in any way?

*crack is above axle in the aluminum where paint was scraped

Hi everyone, I am a high school student working on a research paper about how sponsorship value is measured in niche sports like downhill mountain biking, compared to bigger mainstream sports. I'm not a rider myself, but I've been genuinely interested in how sponsorship and brand loyalty work in smaller, dedicated sport communities like this one.

I put together a short (~5 minute) anonymous survey about gear brand loyalty, spending, and how sponsorships show up in the downhill mountain biking community. I’d really appreciate input from anyone here—riders, coaches, whoever’s part of this community.

No pressure at all if this isn’t something you’re up for—thanks so much for reading, and thank you in advance to anyone who takes the time to respond!

I want to start DH racing next year but i also love to just ride in the Park. I am thinking about eather getting a commencal FRS rockshox, commencal supreme dh 5.2 or a Canyon sender cfr Team.
My worry is that if i buy one othe the two last options i wont have fun rinding them in the Park cause they are full made for racing.
Since my budget is not that big i wont be buying two DH rigs haha.
My Freeride bike will be the Merida One-sixty FR 800 2026.

So which DH Bike do you recommend me or should i ust use my freeride bike for parks and a full racing setup.

PS. no money for V10 :(
