      30 Days Challenge. DAY 1 - Set Your Goal.

      By SickBiker · Posted

      If you want to make a positive, lasting change in your life, this challenge is for you Take EACH day with its tasks seriously and you can be surprised with the outcome! DAY 1. Think over, analyse and write down your goal for these 30 days. It has to be SPECIFIC, REALISTIC, yet CHALLENGING. Don't write then: "I wanna lose weight", "I want to look better", "I want to race better". You won't be able to work towards such an idea. Instead, write something like: "I'll lose 15 pounds", "I'm going to quit smoking", "I'll fix my LDL level" etc.  You may write, what you want and you can add some pictures to you post. This will be the place for a discussion for all of us. Here is my goal: I'm going to finish in TOP 10 on Polish XCO Nationals 22nd of July. PERIOD!

      Chain rub

      By Hardi · Posted

      By trimming, they usually mean, that when you shift on front, then there's 3 clicks, even though there's only 2 chain rings at front.. So when you have it on big at front and smallest at rear, then you shift the shifter on the last click, but when have it at big on front and also at rear on something bigger and it starts to rub, you can do one click at front. It won't change the gear, but it just trim it a little bit that it would not rub.

      If it's on big at front and small at rear and you have clicked all the clicks the front shifter has to get it to big ring and it's still rubbing. Then you can look if there's barrel adjuster somewhere on the front shifters cable housing... somewhere on the section between handlebar and frame. By turning that you can increase decrease cable tension. You need to increase it to solve your problem.. Just try to turn it either direction and see what happens.
