Don't sweat that 3rd drop on No Quarter. If you really air it, you'll end up in a tree or something horrible. Floating down it a little is mostly an issue of just not being a pussy (my biggest...

I wouldn't bother saying anything after the half dozen other offers, 'cept you said you preferred local. Got a Control Tech (!) and Race Face post in that size. PM if you want to stop by. I'm in...

Not a ton of experience with the area, but I'm with Foggy_Goggles. The best stuff I've ridden is what's not on the map. The good news is, it's not hard to find even if you're just poking around...

Also interested in the wheels if they don't sell. Do they include the end caps for the front hub? Do they include the tires (not in the description but in the pics)?

cool that he apparently shot the whole thing himself without using any POV.

I also liked that his shoes matched his jacket.

Jack #2: since 3 or 4 peeps said they have Giro Codes... do any of you notice that they're so stiff that they hurt your feet? It took me a few weeks to get used to them to the point where rocky...

I actually went there on my honeymoon in 2005. Stayed in Sexten/Sesto (that's the German/Italian thing). Did 2 days of hiking and 2 days of biking. Didn't ride any particularly good trails but the...

Cool. Thanks.

I'd never seen this Circus Monkey stuff before. But with copy like this:



How can it be bad?

But seriously mntlion, how have they held up?

Does someone have a link to a picture? I'm envisioning an eccentric mount which I have a hard time believing doesn't shift without constantly being re(over)tightened. Of course, I've been wrong...

+1 on Phil's and just take a left everywhere. There are no big climbs, so it's not actually all that big or confusing. FWIW, I thought of Rib Cage as more like Kessel Run on 'roids, not Chutes and...

I feel like I should have a clever follow up, but I got nuthin.

Shouldn't that be "Lady Shred" or did you marry under your station?

This reminds me of one Simpson's Episode:

Bart: Way to go Ralph!
Lisa: But it was my idea.
Bart: But it was Ralph's idea to ask you.

(or something like that)

Irregardless. I agree.

Yeah, can't wait 'till it comes out on the droid platform.



I'm actually in support of the patent system in general even with all of its problems. But when they say "our innovation" it sounds...

^^^I think this is correct. If someone violates your patent and you don't go after them, the patent becomes void. So, someone could make a VPP in a year, then SCB could sue them, then theoretical VPP...

I'm not sure if helmets that small exist. I got a Giro XS/S for my 2.5 y.o. and he's still got a little space. Got him a bike helmet when he was that size that more/less worked. Don't worry, the...

Was wondering what you people were complaining about 'till I watched it. Pretty much, yeah.



This comment is awesome.

Very helpful reply. Especially the pics. Thanks!

I checked out the Float 36 in a store and I just couldn't get psyched enough on it to spend $700+. I think an airbag pack is a good idea, so please convince me otherwise:

1. The thing looks like a...

Are Titan liners different from Zzues liners? I have the latter (boots, too -- duh), and they fit well for me. I will agree with scottyb than my toes tend to get cold. Even yesterday backcountry...

Super impressed with the route suggestion, Marshall. That's pretty much exactly what I would've suggested for WR, 'cept I would pussy out and take a left on Sawmill to Mustang rather than climbing...

Based on these comments, I'd look into a Giant/Specialized/etc. The Yelli Screamy is (likely -- I've never ridden one) a great bike if you're awesome, but if you're just starting with mountain bikes,...

Well, my Ascensions are cut for Mantras and my BCA skins are cut for drifters (20-30mm wider everywhere), so when I say that I don't notice much of a difference between the tow for grip and glide,...

I have some from last year (I think) that are on my Drifters. They're yellow with a navy blue swirly/tribal tatoo/whatever pattern. I was looking for more packable skins than BD Ascensions that are...

Interested. And not too far away assuming that's Broomfield, CO. I offer the follow stoke from last summer as penance. My wife was still in bed in the morning, heard some banging around downstairs,...

"Learnt," Pepsi. It's said, "learnt"

My wife rode a 1x9 for awhile and liked it.

Just get any crank that's 170mm for square taper. I think Vuelta sells a replacement one that's generic enough looking that it won't be that noticeable (assuming the color is the same).

Also have broken my scaphoid. I used to have my bars rolled pretty far forward. Now I like them further back. I more/less point the net bend towards my shoulders. In general (lotsa exceptions) I feel...

I have Arches and DT TK520s. The DT wheels are stiffer. I built both sets myself without a tensonmeter, so YMMV.

Test rode a Tallboy with Easton Havens. In addition to the different frame, the...

If you need a fork, drop me a line. AMP F-1, early Marz Bomber, early Manitou X-Vert, even a bright orange 1" steerer rigid fork off of a Klein... (why do I have all this crap?)

As others have suggested, A-10 is good, as is Meadow Mountain.

Son of Middle Creek blows donkey nuts IMO.

East Eagle/Boneyard is a bit down the road but awesome for a quick & easy ride.

I'm psyched that they'll be riding within a half mile of my house on the last stage





...and I'll be at a wedding in Vermont.

I can't quite tell, but it looks like maybe the shape might actually allow for more, (or as I've drawn, not much a change in) clearance at the lowest point because it allows the TT to miss the shock....

I've done it once,taking 2 Elk all the way to Minturn. If I were to do it again, I'd probably climb out China Bowl and head down Cougar Ridge (?) or something on the front side. No idea of current...

Traded a bike frame for some Goats a few years ago. Prior to that, I'd bust out the snowboard on many deep days. Don't know if it's been out since.

One other point: at the top of Raspberry Ridge, there's a split. To the right goes to a lookout. To the left goes to Blackjack. First time I did it, I went right and didn't even notice the left. I...

I have no advice for the question at hand since Feldy Jr. is just at the stage of getting his Strider upgraded with a brake.

However, wouldn't Mini-Chup be El Chupacabrito?

As everyone else has said, the answer is yes. And it therefore makes it harder to bunnyhop, too. It's the one thing I really think is worse about a 29er.

However, I don't think it's the...

Powder Goat, I think the name is Kitchel? Super fun along with the others mentioned.

I liked Upper Dead Moose Alley to Dead Moose Alley to Moose Alley (or something to that effect) when I rode it...

I'm with the haters* here. I think the bike has great looks, and I'd wager it will have a great ride, too. But there are lots of great riding bikes nowadays and with shock tech how it is, having the...

I climbed James Peak 1.5 weeks ago and it sure looked like there was still a lot of snow at the resort from up there.

I guess this is totally redundant with much of the rest of this thread.

Will third Ape Canyon/Plains of Abraham. Super trippy under a sometimes smoking Mt St Helens

Will second the meh on McKenzie River Trail. Not bad, not great.

The trails around Hood River were...

I have Zzeros4Cs and Zzueseseses, so pretty close to your options. I'm also about your size but suck. (I know the title of best intermediate skier has been taken; how about worst expert?) I have a...

I dunno. That seatpost is pretty short for a DH bike.

I have some older Dynafit mohair skins that were not all that sticky. I used the iron-off technique to get rid of some but not all of the existing glue, then put on some Gold Label. It worked. Don't...

"Are those telemarketing skis"

Yes, these are the skis I use to cold call people about new long distance plans.
