Hoosier MTB'ers?

T_blood · 2003-05-07T14:30:14+00:00

I'm planning on possibly going back to my home state of Indiana and am curious if anyone can tell me how the biking scene is there? Especially the south central portion. Unfortunately when I lived there before I wasn't into biking, so I have no idea.....Mike

I'm planning on possibly going back to my home state of Indiana and am curious if anyone can tell me
how the biking scene is there? Especially the south central portion. Unfortunately when I lived
there before I wasn't into biking, so I have no idea.....Mike

So, do you have a Jimmy V shrine in your house as well, or just the Dale Earnhardt?

Seems like no matter how often I change chains, they don't mesh with the old cassette. They
always do that quasi-shifting [censored] under a load. I know it's from the burrs on the side of the
cassette's teeth, but shouldn't you be able to get a cassette to last a couple of chains?
I'm using XT 9sp cassettes with sram chains.
-Bruce
changing chain is like changing the oil in a car - the more often you change it the longer the
rest of the drive train will last.
if you put a new chain on a worn cogset the chain simply wears to fit the cogs and it does it Very
quickly! put a new cogset on with a new chain and change the chain as soon as it shows signs of
wear. check with a 1foot metal rule place one end of the rule against a chain pin, strech the
chain tight - if you can see more than 1mm of pin exposed at the other end of the rule it's time
for a new chain.
I always get the burrs growing off the sides of the teeth of my cassette before the chain
shows any wear. Do XTR cassettes have harder teeth than XT? The XT ones really seem to be made
of cheese.
-Bruce
You need to spend some time to learn to shift properly. XT cassettes are pretty strong unless you
always shift under power -- then no cassette'll last. You'll probably bend the XTR titanium gears
(the biggest 3) if that's the way you shift (if not, sorry about the rant 🙂).
