What Are The Advantages / Disadvantages Of A Steel Frame? #AskGMBNTech

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
00:42 - Is it possible to change the brake levers of my SRAM Code RSC? They come with a two-finger lever but I’d prefer to have a 1 finger lever like the Magura option
01:47 - How about maintaining a steel full sun bike like a Starling Cycles. What are the advantages/ disadvantages of a steel frame?
04:13 - I just serviced my shock, a Fox X2, and found the eyelet bushings quite stiff, even after cleaning and lubrication. Am I losing performance? Is it worth upgrading to a Fox roller bearing or an Enduro needle-bearing kit?
06:10 - Is it easy to change a cut fork tube to a long one? Is it safe after?
07:53 - I’ve got a Fox 36 Elite Performance 170mm and I can’t get anywhere near full travel. What can I do?
09:37 - Is the 31.8mm diameter handlebar about to die off? I was recently shopping at a local bike shop and was surprised to see they didn’t have many options left?
11:36 - I’m running a SRAM Guide T 180 on the rear and its Sh****t, should I upgrade to a 203 or just get a better brake?
13:33 - Can I put 27.5” tubes in a gravel bike tyre? (Question is getting cut as was a previous show)
14:20 - My bike came with a 175mm crank, would there be a difference if I switch to 170mm?
