It's funny how people's opinions of how 29er wheels handle is directly proportional to the amount of reasonable tires and forks available.

Back when the only 29er fork was that crap-ass 80mm...

Many unused 20% off codes (including mine) being offered on this page of this thread:
http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/showthread.php/244466-2013-Praxis-Skis?p=3989011
They expire tomorrow.

One more 20% off code available here...I had a taker but they backed out.

I have extensive time on both types of fork, and the 20mm is dramatically stiffer despite the tapered steerer on the 15mm.

15mm is stupid and sucks. It only exists because Shimano and Fox can't...

I'm about 9% larger than the average bear. Therefore, 26" wheels to me feel like 24" wheels do to the rest of you. And I don't see anyone running 24s anymore.

Personally, I find it funny that...

Agree. I've skied the 10 DIN version of the plastic toes since the Powmag days on some reasonably rowdy lines (e.g. everywhere in Las Lenas) and never had a single issue.

Keep in mind I'm...

Well, at least it'll smooth out the suncups :D It was raining all morning and afternoon, but the drizzle seems to have mostly-sorta stopped here in SLT.

Secret Cove is gorgeous. It'd be postcard-perfect if it weren't for the naked old men :D

Alas, there is usually an inverse correlation between how much someone enjoys getting naked and how much...

Anyone know where the fort is going to be this year? I've got swanky car camping stuff this time. And are we still meeting at Roberto's on Friday night?

Mammut wasn't any help: they said "No, we can't repair it", and offered me a "discount" that was less than I could get a new one for at REI. So that's what I did...

...in 2007.



Any battery...

Bump. If the price police don't like my price, make me an offer!

Sold to rip -- thanks!

Bump because it's important to know when warranties are fake.

FKS still available. Daleboots SOLD

Bumper cars. Gotta be another Bigfoot dude out there who needs these...

Check. Upper lot: check. I think everyone knows what I look like (yes, I still rock the pixel suit)

They ski a lot stiffer than they feel with a hand flex. (People say that about ON3Ps too.) And no, I can't drive them lazily from the backseat! Maybe the med-stiff stiffens up the tail a lot more...

Quick Review: Medium/Stiff 192 Praxis Yetis

Tried them at the recommended mount point. No bueno...felt big, sluggish, no rebound, difficult to turn, and not nearly as stable at speed as they...

Since Kirkwood is only spinning 6 and Mt. Rose is offering $29 tickets to passholders at other resorts, I'll be helping closing Mt. Rose on Sunday. See you there!

(Note: to get the $29 deal you...

I'll be gone Thursday through Sunday, so expect it to snow this weekend. You're welcome.

New Intuition Power Wraps. Never molded or skied.
Marked 13.0 US, 12.0 UK.
They measure exactly 32cm from the farthest-back point of the heel to the farthest tip of the toe. (The sole is slightly...

The drive from Reno to N* is all relatively straightforward on big roads (unlike when you stayed near Nevada base of Heavenly). However, California doesn't care about that. When chain control goes...

Dynafits have more heel lift than Barons, so they'll pitch your boot (and you) forward somewhat. This will negate some of the rearward mount of the Dynafit, so the difference won't be as large as...

Plates let me have two pairs of skis (skinny and fat) and two bindings (Dukes and Dynafits).

Result: I have both a lightweight touring rig and a burly resort rig for any conditions, without...

+1. My refinement: get the all-leather work gloves. About $6 at Harbor Freight, they last quite a while (though not forever), and they're mostly-almost waterproof if you do a solid job with Sno-Seal...

Got a few nibbles and lowballs, but no commitments, so: BUMP

Rossi FKS turntables. $30 + ship, or pick up in South Lake

Only DIN 10 and a bit beat up, but they work fine. Or you can use them as...

Bump because the Powderboard deal is stlll live, with all sizes available ($340! using 20% coupon code).

How about "not charging a deliberate hit-and-run driver with a felony because he's rich":

I'll take it. Tried to PM you but your box is full, so send me one with your Paypal address and let's do this.

$6 shipping (total $26) if you're willing to ditch the CB packaging (which weighs a ton) and just get it in the plastic sleeve and a cardboard box. Add a couple bucks if you want the original box.

Bump for a dirt-cheap and unridden handlebar.

Yes, it's Crank Bros, but I'm not sure how they can screw up a handlebar.
700mm wide, 30mm rise, ~325g (I weighed it), black.

Basically brand new: I installed it, realized it wasn't going to...

Your med/stiff 190 BCs weigh less than my med/stiff 192 Yetis.

Something's going on here. The BC is EXACTLY a scaled-up Yeti (or the Yeti is a scaled-down BC, your choice). It shouldn't be...

Ebay is fine as a buyer. It sucks as a seller because both ebay and Paypal always side with the buyer, even when they're obviously just scamming you for free shit. And they recently started pulling...

HTF do a pair of 187 WooTests with 113mm waist end up LIGHTER than my 192 Yetis with a 94mm waist?

Either you have an optimistic scale or I got hosed.

The Yetis are all coming in heavy. My medium-stiff 192s are 1996g/8.8# per pair, claimed weight of 8#. According to Keith, the weight was for mediums, each increment above adds about 5 ounces, and...

Black railings will be burning hot in the sunlight. I would get the cap rail clips and use a wood or composite top cap. Keeping the top cap sanded and painted/stained isn't a big deal, and it won't...

+1. A lot of the problems people have with steel toes/reinforced toes is that they're used to buying normal shoes in "normal" widths and letting them stretch out. With steel toes, a substantial...

2012-2013 season: now featuring a pair of medium-stiff 192 Yetis.

Chain checkers aren't always accurate, and it only takes a few seconds to check with a ruler.

I usually get two chains out of a cassette and chainring set. Mileage on the chain varies, but I've...

I thought you used flats for the RADGNAR :D

Besides, SPDs have enough float for my heels to smack the chainstays on the inner side, and I can't envision an advantageous riding position that...

..........

I was underwhelmed by them live, too, back in the day. Frankly, I'd rather listen to the CD of f#a# on a good stereo than watch them play it while standing in a giant crowd of hipsters in the dark....

PROTIP: what women say they want, and what they actually want, are almost never the same.

I'm not saying all women are like this -- but the success of books like 50 Shades and Twilight prove that...

Deutsch:

It means a lot to hear that Gryka's story resonated with you. Thank you. And yes, I figure if Daniel Quinn deserved 500 G's for Ishmael, TGC ought to be worth at least a few mil :D
...

I understand where you're coming from: it's annoying to find out, after having a rule repeatedly beaten into your head, that it either has been relaxed or doesn't apply in the context in question.
...

Mathematics:

Somehow I missed your question and bump: thank you! I'm glad you find TGC so meaningful...I don't like to oversell it, but I think people like yourself are just starting to discover...

It has nothing to do with personal hate. It has to do with the fact that I don't enjoy bailing someone out of the ass end of nowhere because they didn't get the memo that CB pedals suck. And if you...

Yes, I can get the part from Todson...but first I wanted to see if anyone had a broken one I could salvage and make usable again. Don't pull one off an otherwise complete and functioning tool: in...
