Since the 90s anyway. Pretty awesome!

And the U23s crushed!

Not much of an XC guy but those have free live on Youtube.

Awesome US representation in the U23 so far!

As noted in the "Ask TGR" forum, this was unintentional and related to a server migration. They're working to get things restored to how it used to be.

what I meant was, did you upload a photo from your device directly to TGR, or was the photo externally hosted somewhere else and just linked here. I didn't know photos were hosted on Tapatalk so...

Awesome!

Not sure if I've seen it in person or just pictures but that thing is legendary.

This is excellent, thanks gentlemen!

I thought his profile said banned last time I came across one of his posts. I missed it too.

Fixed. I’m on mobile and didn’t notice it doubled up the “http//“s.

^^^Are those uploaded photos/not externally hosted?

My question for the mods is will photo uploading from our devices come back or is TGR photo hosting going away. Is the goal to get things back...

There’s an ongoing thread in the “Ask TGR” forum about the current issues. Posting about it here won’t do anything.

Pretty sure you *want* grease on the threads so you can achieve proper torque without it binding up, at least that’s how I roll. Never had one back out.

But then I don’t know shit about shit and...

I'd likely have worn a quality rain jacket from the get-go in those conditions. At least packed one.

Nuke from orbit. Behead reamins (if any).



I take the wheels of, hold verically, shake back and forth and listen for any liquid sloshing in the bottom. If none, top off with at least a coupe...

The demise of the front derailleur is basically solely responsible for modern 29er geometry. Before that they sucked to ride. It's also enabled modern suspension kinematics and to a lesser extent...

Still loving my Giro Chamber 2s. Very durable, walk well with good heel hold. Not the grippiest but fine on anything but slick mud. Also not the lightest but... Caveat is Giro fit, great for...

Beaterdit in!

Is it still $2?

So awesome! Nice work, so stoked for you Dan!

FKNA!

He's kicking ass in this thread if I'm not mistaken.

Happened to me once with a set of newer red 916s I bought off here. Mag took my word for it that they arrived that way and refunded me. Solid. Not common, even on 30 year old models, but it does...

Also theres a couple patrollers on top of the tower getting ready to evac them off. Sketch!

This is good stuff Buzz. It's fucking hard and you can't really rush it, you have to go at the pace you can manage.

This thread is awesome in a way. Lots of people sharing lots of stuff, we're...

Right on. Is it any good?

Yeah all natural latex rubber needs ammonia as a preservative. All tire sealants are mostly natural latex rubber as far as I know. My home brew definitely is.

I don’t think it’s from the carbon, it’s from sealant leaching in there.

Certainly been wrong before though, and plenty.

Dee are you using alloy nipples for carbon AM/Enduro wheels, or sticking with brass?

I’m light but not typically super easy on wheels and I’ve found that I can use alloy reliably on carbon rims...

Wheelsmith Spoke Prep for me. Not too expensive and last many wheel builds. Generally get two colors to keep your L and R side spokes straight.

DeeHubs suggestions are not to be lightly...

That's not spam, it stoke!

Wish I could have gotten up there today! Tomorrow should still be OK though, hahaha!

I do that with my hardtail but it's quite a bit lighter lighter than the 'real' bike. I pack the derailleur just to get weight out of the bag, along with the chain, coil shock, and pedals. That...

I run AXS but I’m pretty agnostic about it. It’s good enough, and reliable enough that I wouldn’t hesitate to buy it again if I can get a deal again. I have a backup analog XO shifter and derailleur...

Oh shit WR you gonna roll the dice on this JONG hahaha?!

Oh shit. I put the 35mm alloy Spike bars on my hardtail before I was really thinking about such things. They're brutal. I now have a set of 31.8 Vibrocores and matching Split stem in the garage...

Pinkbike rated the WAO 'Da Package'/77Designz as the most compliant in a recent review of claimed compliant bars. Note that it's actually 33mm with an integrated alloy shim out to 35mm. It's on the...

Just here to pile on Specialized. Fuck them and the horse they rode in on.

Turned 50 a few months ago and fuck. Went from the fittest and fastest I've ever been, with back to back state champion titles on the mountain bike at 40, to the weakest I've ever been at 50. Felt...

Damn Buzz Just saw this and I'm glad you're hangin in there. I think we've only met once but I've certainly appreciated your voice in here over years and I share a lot of your sentiments. I turned...

Seems at least a few guys in here get along fine with the Vespers, even bigger guys IIRC.

Oh I ride a Canfield BTW. Metal bike, it’s already heavy hahaha.

Hmmm those are top of the line and bedding sounds adequate. I have no experience with the stealth levers but they should be fine. Given the symptoms I’d still try sanding the pads and rotors and try...

CBF has minimal chain growth, I don’t notice it. If you’re in a high gear (small cog) and moving forward at a decent clip it’s literally not an issue. In a low gear and moving slow while getting deep...

Which brakes are they? Big difference between Code R and Code RSC. The swing link adds a lot power by changing the leverage ratio through the lever stroke.

Did you bed in the new rotor properly?...

That's how the Lady's HS2 Rotors look. Just swapped the old rotors out with no other adjustments. The HS2s have more material on the inner diameter, and also a tiny bit more on the outer, just 1mm...

I use Soul Glow myself.

I haven’t a can of that stuff from a swag bag in my garage. It’s fine. Usually don’t bother.

I do make my own sealant and have for over a decade. Easy and works great.

Agree with Toast on all that, haha, I always agree with Toast.

Air front, coil rear here, XO 12 speed, 1UP V.1&2 posts, Code RSCs.

The new 1Up V.3 post looks sweet and it's not much more than...

Since it sounds like El Chupe’s all set, I’d be interested in those wheels if you want to move them. I’ll drop you a DM.

Damn, do stoked for you all! Doing the rest of us proud. Have a blast!

Dude awesome! Glad you're enjoying them, I did too.

Yep you got that right!

The lady says it's "pretty windy" up there but not even close to wednesday, and apparently not windy enough to shut down any lifts. Obv. pretty windy in the valley but I don't think it's really...

Five knee surgeries here with each ACL done, see avatar haha. Have been treated at U of U and they are excellent. Was treated many years ago for a complicated femur fracture at Steadman Hawkins in...

No personal experience but I’ve just read of lots of problems. Based on a recent thread here it seems the transfer is the most hated post in Sprockets, haha.

If I were you I’d buy a longer 1Up...
