Just like IF and many types of diets, when people claim it doesn't work its typically because they weren't doing it right.
At the moment, I experimenting with Yohimbine HCL to determine if there's any truth to those many claims. I'm at the end of week 2 and I've already been able to defunct several popular youtuber claims about its effects and efficacy. I'm not sure if some people just have never actually tried the stuff or if they just explain it really badly.
In any event, if you're interested in anything more detailed on this supplement, stay tuned.

Is it tubeless? If not go tubeless.
Chain drops has nothing to do with shifting. It's when the trail gets ruff the chain slap will pop the chain off.

Narrow wide just cuts the side to side play of the chain. I haven't dropped a chain in 2 years with it.
Hardtail 29'ers are the steeze. it's the bike I ride the most.
Here's mine

2 recent purchases:
1. Gatorhardshell 23mm for the road bike.
2. Giant contact SL switch 150mm travel dropper post for MTB.
Spent some coin on the seat post ($330 at the shop) but don't care because my $129 post only lasted 5 months lol.

Did my first "Real" trail ride on the defy today.. I definitely learned the hard way not to stand up and ride. LMAO
Still sketchy to have my wheels spin out as I'm climbing, but I had FUN!

Just cleaned my chain the old fashioned way -- elbow grease. No pressure cooker. Nice and sparkly.
Today took and impromptu jaunt to the tar pits. A mere 31 mile, not up to misc standards but 3/4 for a hybrid.
