Pivot versus Yeti
I cant go riding due to rain, so I am considering next bike purchase. I like the look of Pivot Mach 5 or Yeti 575. Now just pretending I had $7k in my pocket. What do people think between these 2 or are there other options I should be looking at. Probably XT build is sufficient.
Drivetrain
Hi being fairly new to MTB (bought my bike 15 weeks ago) i am wondering about how long things like chains,casettes, frount sprokets ect. should last? I don't ride in the mud, keep my bike cleanish, and lube the chain every 20-30 km's . Are there any other areas I should pay special attention to?
thanks

hatch back bike racks
I have a 2010 Mazda 3 hatch on which I would like to use a rear tailgate mounted bike rack (don’t want to do the tow bar option and prefer to steer away from the cost of a roof set up).
The main problem is the silly little spoiler at the top of the door. There are no racks yet designed to properly accommodate this however I have seen a couple of similar situations (Golf, Subaru) where a rack has the straps running over the spoiler.
HELP BREAKING CHAINS!!!
Help!!
I have broken 2 chains in 2 weeks, both shimano Narrow, both brand new (second one 5kms old)
they have both broken on the manufactured links (not the joining linkage when installing the chain)
i have no idea what to do, as i don't want to buy a new one and have the same thing happen?
any ideas????
Thanks
