yup. still want them and would like the adapters for standard QR for rear.

looks pretty damn fun!

so, does she say the 650b is superior to the 26" firebird????

cause it is pbr. ;)

If you and Lee can't get it done on the hope wheelset, I will take them. in tahoe.

really? the bronson was that much better than a brand new slash 8? wow.


tough to demo bikes in tahoe, just not many options. ride other peoples bikes I guess.

buy used IMO. get MUCH...

'Like'.

we need these message boards to copy some of FB's options.

Feel the same way JJ.

I think I am pretty much gonna have to demo all future purchases. right now I am pretty happy with what I am riding. all bikes could use some tweaking, but I aint changing...

marshall, tire seclection not withstanding, sounds like bike manufacturers are moving their selections towards 650b and 29er and, from what I understand, will even be phasing out the 26" selections. ...

the bear's best trails are fun. true XC, with small ledges and mini up and down technical moves. they flow really well in just about any direction. they are growing rapidly. they have a lot of...

Lee they didn't direct you to the pic above??

5 minutes from red rock casino to some really good riding. I think most of the shop guys just assume everyone wants zoom zoom XC. when there is...

I don't know, i really like the vegas riding. the XC scene there is pretty big blue diamond is a pretty big network of trails, I think that is where most of the locals ride.

I would ride most...

Still riding my 2005 spot. Still love it. I am 200 lbs, bang the shit out of it in Tahoe and in the past routinely took it off 3-4 footers to flat. Thing is bomber. However that is nothing...

Haha! that is funny coming from the guy who has every moment ski ever made and every video game console ever made. ;)

wow. that was hard to watch. so utterly dysfunctional, unpracticed and uncoordinated. that should be posted everywhere. I wonder who they were, I would like to make sure to avoid ever skiing...

anyone know anything about a SAR going on at Echo Peak Today?

666, dude, great skiing! you haven't lost a step.

looks like you checked off just about every mid season line in the fingers!

Hold on. So you are going to try and you 'reason' and 'common sense' to address this issue? Not the kind of contribution people are looking for and makes for a boring thread. Go back to the beach....

well, that is where I would be using it!

you know what, i bet i could get 10 bucks, cause even as someone who likes to climb (a little) that climb SUCKS!!

read similar stories on other sites. damn it. the LEV is $400. this is for a semi-retired bike.

Need a 27.2 seatpost. 4" of travel is fine. do not want a GD, want to be able to adjust it to any height.

this seems like a great price point compared to the LEV.

any reviews of these?

3K? really? that is kind of prohibitively expensive unless you have a ton of fireroad accessed stuff to ride.

I have the perfect backyard ride to use it on. 3 mile paved, but miserably steep...

Gotta be the first time Arty has ever been called 'lanky'. ;)

Gtape = Gorilla tape I assume? great stuff.

Can't find any dealers of both bikes in my area. might have to just go by reviews. I do like a more upright ride though, so knowing that helps.

honestly, i would love to ride a few. but, not sure where to go to do this in tahoe. I will likely have to go off the hill to try. knowing getting tubeless will work is another question I had. ...

tech tonics, honestly, i think i would ride it on dirt more than snow. particularly some desert riding, so that helps. I really prefer the geo on the 2013 mukluk 2 to the pugs/moonlander and I...

So, Let's say i was gonna get one of these bad boys. How to choose?

I want it for everything, mix things up, ride snowmobile tracks in winter, ride sandy trails in summer.

the salsa mukluk...

I gotcha beat. I not only feel old, I am old! :)

wow. seems like a lifetime ago.

Great stuff Kid. Stellar as always.

Good to know re: the spesh. have torn two EXO's and both were inbetween knobs and not on sidewall.

DHF 2.5/2.7 and DH or Exo up front all on bikes, including 'XC/Trail' bike.

in the rear, maxxis advantage, HR2, Spec Purgatory Grid, WTB Bronson. The only place I notice a huge difference is at...

I tried the single ply DTC telonix tubeless and it was a no go. super tough to get it to seal and hold air. then, first ride, i ripped open the sidewall. after years of running tubeless that was...

40% off? that isn't much consider they don't wear all that well. Although, obviously they grip and roll really well. hmmm, not sure. what else you got for me??

you get 2-3 seasons out of a rear tire? holy crap. If I get a full season out of any rear tire I am happy.

if 'wears quickly' is your only problem with the NN and you are getting 2-3 seasons out...

i tried nobby nic's for a bit and, at least in tahoe and in the carson valley (high plains terrain) they were downright scary in corners. no grip whatsoever and they had the thinnest sidewalls i...

that Ritte article didn't do it for me.

I am glad that 6 people who went to extraordinary lengths to cheat and put one over on the agencies trying to stop cheating got caught. should we only be...

Great stuff Kid!

might be time for a mammoth visit.

Great stuff. wow, you guys are fast..... :)

Quick opinion article. Great read.

THE proliferation of cellphones, satellite phones, emergency locator devices, GPS, and similar technology has led to an epidemic of backcountry rescues for...

Those guys are flying. surprised anyone on here would make fun of BMX. any of you ever tried to ride one? it is friggin tough.

Mr. Multiglisse, had very similiar bike as a kid. also, had a...

Disclaimer: I have had many, many long epic's with arty and many mechanicals, so i really trust his judgement and understand his points.

BUT, these guys just aren't gonna die from dehydration...

That should get some people talking!! Funny Shoe!!

That piece is onion worthy. I bought it until the part about trading sex for EPO. Going over the top to close the story out was $$$.

Didn't read comments. Will have to check them out.

that is simply incredible. what a great story. deserves to be cut and pasted.

Boulder -

Yesterday UCI announced they are banning a 28 year female rider Sarah Tream-Thompson. Even though...

that is funny!! :)

And if you also remember, that act of bravery earned him a massage from a smoking hot mountain bike chic while he waited for the shuttle at the bottom. not a bad trade.

That is one helluva of a strong argument for legalizing testosterone right there.

i have them on 2012 5 spot.

I rode the trail hard, and rode it poorly as I was cramping, so my line choice sucked and i was sitting a bunch. which, was much harder on the bike/rims than if I was...

i just got a set of the arch ex. i was a bit scared by how light they were and worried about durability. i am 195. been banging rocks pretty hard. so far so good. but i only have about 6 rides...

dude that was awesome. great trailer and she was killing it on fade to black.

Karl taught arty, and arty taught me the trick about pushing or levering on the seat with the inside of your thigh. I use that all the time now. (i am guessing you taught Karl??? ;) )

and yeah,...
