Is it just me? I've been trying to buy a rear shock for a new build and I'm currently on my 7th person I'm dealing with. In all cases I'm not even haggling and fully willing to give them their asking price, pay for shipping, etc.. just give me your email addy so I can send you money..... and it's crickets.

Why list something if you don't really want to sell it? I keep thinking a out that "Life or Brian" skit where the peddler makes them haggle lol.

Component Deals & Selection / Which rotors for MTB?
« on: January 17, 2024, 03:00:47 PM »
I need 180mm and 160mm 6-bolt rotors. I was going to go with Shimano RT86 rotors but seems the supply of "made in Japan" rotors has dried up for the 180mm and reports of the "made in China" ones are mediocre and take a very long time to bed in. So I'm looking for suggestions. Thoughts?

I'm 182cm. I currently have an ICAN A22 (54cm) that I find too aggresive. I had a fit done and was told everything looks good, but I could maybe use a 5mm stem spacer. I'm never really that comfortable on it and my lower back bothers me. I find I'm always on the very back of the handle bars, it feels too long and low. I was thinking about find a more enduro like frame and have been looking at the Elves Eglath (53cm). This will approximately raise the handle bars about 20mm and the ETT is also ~20mm shorter. Would this be considered a significant change in geometry, or would it be barely noticable? Thanks for any input.

Before I get into it, Im curious about forum etiquette here. Should I start 5+ different threads discussing the individual parts or do it all in one thread? I was thinking the later woud be better since all the info is in one spot, but don't wanna be a nuisance. Thanks
