    Thanks for the video. It has probably been 10 years since I've ridden Hawk, and it might be time to try it again. It looks really dusty and overused; especially with 4 lines on the waterfall.

    I don't have that bend in my full-suspension top tube, so I turn these bags around and strap the head tube strap around my seat post frame. It sits in there nicely, like it's been made for the bottom end of the top tube underneath you. I've since seen a lot more people doing it, but it just works. It keeps the bag out of the way and prevents it from shifting around. I was just looking at your triangle one. That point might actually fit perfectly in the bend and fill that bit in underneath your seat. You can always try it!

    Everyone has a bad day. Best to not push it , get down safe, and enjoy the rest of the day doing something else. Much better to catch it early when your just not feeling it so you don't get hurt. It's all about having a fun ride, not just surviving. At leas this is my philosophy after some serious injuries due to ignoring my inner voice. By posting the video, I;m sure you get it. Chains need to be checked for wear with a chain checker or rule, not how long it was replaced. Too much wear means the chainring and cassette are already damaged. Chain still OK, clean, lube check for stick links and ride away.

    Yeah, that is a nice lookin' saddle. Probably more of a fluke that it broke. Better the saddle than a bone! Sorry you're not a bit more excited about the AXS. A few years back I really really wanted to upgrade to AXS, but after hearing so many riders give a similar review like you I held off and spent that money on other upgrades. There are of course riders who swear by it, though. I'm happy enough with SRAM Eagle. Very consistent. In 3 years of heavy use, I've only had to replace the shifter cable which I could easily do myself. I'll probably switch to XT when it finally wears out because I miss the trigger shifting! Best upgrade I did was swapping out Code brakes to TRPs! But yeah, many hundreds of dollars later...
