Welcome back to another episode of Ask GMBN Tech, where we try to answer all your complex, scary, niche, and technical questions about mountain bikes and MTB-related tech! 💻 Submit Top Mods, Bike Caves, Rewinds and more to us 👉 https://upload.gmbn.com/tech ⏱️ Timestamps ⏱️ 00:00 - Intro 00:17 - After I've plugged a tyre on a ride what do I do when I'm home to fix it properly? (new to this tubeless lark and there's nothing on this in your book) 01:12 - Why can motorbikes be a 'one-size fits all' deal to suit all riders and reduce cost by standardize production but mountain bikes have to come in XS, S, M, L and XL? 03:47 - As you have so much experience with Nukeproof, I'm hoping to get some advice on sizing. I'm 1.79m and the sizing chart on the website says M is up to 1.78 and L starts from 1.78. What size should I pick? 05:57 - Is it a good idea to buy a different suspension for your bike? With different I mean either different brands, or models? 08:40 - Do you know of any flat pedals that come with a long spindle? 10:10 - I have a Shimano FH-MT410-B rear hub with a micro spline freehub. Can I convert "back" to a HG body to take a Linkglide cassette?
