He can, but he was being a little bitch about me not being “loyal” so I tried to not involve him.
And FG is right, it’s paid directly through our mortgage company.

Yep. He was working so hard he didn’t even bother to try and match the rate I found on my own with 15 minutes of searching.
Btw, Nationwide makes it a total PITA to cancel their plan, since they...
Going back to the HO insurance discussion... our policy with Nationwide recently came up for renewal, a simple email with the policy PDF. No mention that they were jacking the premium up from ~$3k...
Funny, I was going to say “Welcome to Corporate America”.
^^^ No way that's legit.
If you're one to listen to podcasts, look up the 4-part series by the Escape Collective (possibly mentioned already) about what happened with the bike industry over the last four years... it's super...
Yes, I think they do have as much influence as racers - mostly because they have more reach than most racers these days. Plus, IME from talking to hundreds of customers over the years, most of the...
Correct, I think they bought Spot and rebranded everything (in addition to adding the FS bikes) about 10 years ago? They’re running 40% off sales right now, my guess is they are trying to sell off a...
I was going to recommend a Specialized Ground Control... I've got one on the back of my Smuggler for more "mellow" Front Range and High Country riding (but I've also ridden it on some super rocky...
Discounting the imminent Kona announcement, I'm putting my money on Spot or Alchemy to go under next.
^^^ Check out bulk maltodextrin too... I've been using that combined with a partial scoop of Skratch (which I get on pro-deal), and it's great. Super easy to drink too.
Just wait for the next hail storm to come through, that’s what everyone around here does (outside Boulder). The roofers come around and convince all the home owners they need a new roof and it’s...
In English please?
FWIW, $250/mo is fucking cheap to work on website SEO.
Also, shoot Powtron a PM, he's really good at helping small businesses with that stuff, but you're probably going to have to pay a bit more.
This is how most of America works... the rich get richer, while everyone else struggles to pay the bills.
I've got a BNIB 5dev 32t chainring that I won't be using: 3mm offset for SRAM direct mount cranks so it'll work with most every boost setup out there. It's the teal color pictured below, and is...
Agree, coverage quality was WAY better... although I wish they would have switched up the announcers.
FWIW, I fucking love my Dreadnought (I have the V1 with a Cascade Link).
Northern Front Range, CO (Golden / Boulder / Ft. Collins)? I'm serious... lots of trails are drying out right now, and I'd put our trails up against any of the destinations listed above unless you...
I think it's a great looking bike, but that green doesn't do it for me. I like the look of the Carbon 99 build on the Pinkbike article, though!
I’ve had mine for three years of pretty extensive use, and almost all of our guides have one. That I know of, no one has had any issues and they all work great. My only gripe is when it’s cold out,...
I wasn't specifically referring to anything legal about it... more that it's just a "coincidence".
Funny, that's exactly what I said to my wife when I saw that on the news.
Try telling that to Americans.
Unfortunately, the Chamber 2's are heavy as shit, and the cleat box (?) doesn't allow me to move them back/down as far as I want. But they were super comfortable. If anyone wants a pair of 10.5's,...
What's everyone rocking for clipless trail shoes? I'm looking for a relatively light shoe that is stiff enough, but can also suffice for various hike-a-bike duties when needed. My previous gold...
Might be interested in the Specialized Thermal jersey... what's your height/weight? I know their sizing is all over the place and I'm always between a M and L.
Giro Chamber II shoes, size 10.5. These have been worn a handful of times and show a bit of wear, but they're in really good shape overall. Would prefer pickup around Boulder, but I'll ship if...
Lowered price today... someone wants this bike (preferably in the Denver area)!
IME, the Specialized 2.3" is pretty close to a Maxxis 2.4-2.5 WT while the Spec 2.6" is noticeably bigger.
FWIW, I ride all the steep Front Range trails and almost always use a Butcher (T9) front and Eliminator (T7) rear... I find it's a great tire combo for 95% of our trail conditions. That said, I'm...
Probably not, but that's the number they included in the story I read/watched.
I think they went overboard with proposing 2200+ units... they should have been more realistic and started way smaller. Aside from the NIMBY factor, adding 6,000+ people to a town of ~10,000 is a...
For sale is a lightly-ridden 2023 Specialized Stumpjumper EVO Expert, size S5 (XL). The bike was ridden about 12-15 days last year, and is in great condition. There are minimal small scratches on...
I've got two sets of HT Components pedals for sale, both are lightly used and in great condition. They each only have minor scratches, but the bearings are rock solid and everything works perfectly....
Here's one... fuck electronic drivetrains (as I alluded to above).
I was reluctant to have them on our demos (Transition) this year, but I did because in order to get a decent build level, it...
I wish some of these bike companies would take a cue from Ibis and offer non-Transmission mechanical builds with XT and XTR. They're missing an opportunity for higher-end build options for people...
Agreed, who gives a fuck? God forbid these guys/kids show some emotion, it's not the PGA.
Is it really a deal if it's been for listed for a month with no interest?
FWIW, I find the TrailOne carbon bars to be very similar to OneUp. I have both with 20mm rise and can't tell any kind of noticeable difference.
So now the question... when does 70 open back up? I know they already have planned avy mitigation during the day today, so my guess is sometime tomorrow late morning?
No chance is my guess. It's supposed to snow into tomorrow morning.
Some pretty big numbers getting thrown around for the Front Range mountains… how long will I-70 close for?
And file under "things not to rant about": no headset routing on any of the regular Epic or EE models. Kudos there.
These would go well with my purple Smuggler, no?

FWIW, it’s all about how much it weighs…. I’ve never had anyone measure a bike bag.
Great time for their union to be asking for a raise.
Maybe all this fake bullshit AI will encourage (or require?) people to speak in-person instead of all this fake “connecting” online and/or by video call?
Might be better to sell the Push shock separately and then donate the frame to a non-profit?
This is kind of what I asked... I can just make a point of doing some rides where I walk or go super slow on the climbs and then get a handful of big, long descents at a harder effort.
