Welcome back to another episode of Ask GMBN Tech, where we try to answer all of your complex, scary, niche, and technical questions about mountain bikes and MTB-related tech! ⏱ Timestamps 👇 00:00 - Intro 00:20 - Is there a difference between having a handlebar with a high rise compared to just having more spacers under the stem? (If the steerer tube allows it, of course)? 03:16 - Can water contaminate your rotors also I'd I use a diluted soap and water and accidentally get it on my disc will it contaminate it? 05:06 - Can you run a shorter travel fork with higher travel rear? 06:48 - Why hasn’t any derailleur manufacturer experimented with an upside-down derailleur? 09:32 - I wrapped my bike but a rock hit one of the exposed areas, the carbon looks ok but it’s now exposed and the paint is flaking.
