So, there are 2 official looking Kenda Tires facebook pages, one for "outdoors" like moto and bike tires, and a company one with all the tires. They now both claim that the BBG has not been...

Seriously, not trying to lean back and away from the trees would be a good start.
Green stuff you can just hit. Brown stuff, you should avoid.

If you have an 09 Outback, you should just keep it.

Lean forward

Too steep here for 1x, or I just can't do it. Don't get the attraction to 1:1.
Don't forget to blindly walk up Ewok 2 or 3 abreast now that it has a 2 way sign!

It's poli-ass now? since when?

There's also that thing where a small internal combustion engine powers an electric motor. I don't know what it's called, but it's not technically a hybrid. They...

So what is the definitive answer here?
Good thing I don't go through tires that fast. Tubes. Just say "yes".

Well, ok, then.

Glaciers?! In Colorado?
Shhhhhhhhh

Some of you might get the Monty Python bit that's a take off of.

Color me wrong! That still doesn't seem right, but ok. Also, diesels don't require mining lithium all over the world, wasting water, doing more environmental damage, and then shipping the lithium...

This could only end well.

Why diesel engines? Hm, let's see, simpler, longer lasting, low end torque because you don't need high revs if you're not racing, less refined fuels. There's a reason half the cars in yurp are...

Wish they'd put a diesel in it, instead of that stupid hybrid. Good to know about the CVT.

ok, cool.

What's the cassette ratio, do the shifters have that switch that makes the right hand a double, are they by any chance i-spec, and how much with out the crank?

Still listed on their website, with a new name?
No 29er version :(
They added the word pro to their tires, so you know they have...

According to some pr dildo on their facebook page, they're "not going anywhere"...

What. The. Fuck.

Whiteroom, as far as front tires go, you can put something pretty knobby up front and not notice much resistance.

Cause the Dillon area gets soooo much traffic...

Is it just me or do some of those oem-ish R1x or Rx-1's seem like a stupid good price/performance ratio, especially on bike-parts.de?

If you feel like going down there, just ride the damn Pioneers, or whatever it is.

After all these years and well loved grimy road miles, you're bottom bracket probably needs to be rebuilt. Yes, the bbs can eventually break/warp/fall out if everything is loose. So let's see,...

IDK about box blocking, but cock blocking is not cool.

Boring is what it is.

Bead blast it.

Y U bringin teh hatez?

If you were gonna hack Strava's website, just deface it with "STOP AT STOPSIGNS" or "YEILD TO PEDS" in 72pt font.

Can we attach a breathalyser to TGR?

bump.
stupid question:
Those funky levers. Are they comfortable as a 1 finger lever?

So, is are the old Easton XC wheels any good, and if so, can they be converted from 9mm to 15mm if need be?

Nice work!

Would you like some pics of my shiny new kicks? I think the Nimble 9's are still on the boat from Taiwan.

Shimano M162 shoes: You should buy them.

Will I look core and local enough?

Might just spring for some i19s laced to XTs barely used on pb for stupid cheap. Idk why, but that seems like a good idea.

I wouldn't say that a 17.5" frame in a 29er at 5' 10" is too big. Just to reiterate, get a good seat.

So, there's a lot of those 719/xt wheelsets floating around the interwebs because of Handspun. I know XT hubs are pigs, but those seem like pretty good rims. Welded, eyelets, 19mm internal, 32...

Pfff, It's not how you feel, It's how you look.
Anyway, consider a different seat and grips. Often, the crap they give you sucks. Seats on entry level bikes seem to always be too wide. And if...

This thread just needs some pics and it'll be thread of the year. Preferably a pic of you showing how muscular you are when you flex her down the longitudinal axis.

Yup, you got me.

But it's autographed!

I was actually thinking of getting wheel builds and some of the work done at Bike Dr., but I guess some people just needed to cunt up my thread.

So, it looks like good wheels to go with best-bang-for-buck style are Blag Flag Pros, or ZTR Arches, or something similar hand laced. Yes?
For the Sun Ringles, does it really make much difference...

This thread will be epic and hudge.
thanks for the tips, guys.

Good to know.
Budget? Not sure yet.
SLX looks like a good way to go for drivetrain and brakes as far as price/performance. What say y'all?

Did you read the part about how I will when I get stuff? The frames are probably still on the boat from Taiwan :/

Speaking of Taiwan, are those part sellers on eBay that are located in Taiwan...

Yeah, I'm leaning toward SLX group for drivetrain and brakes. Trails around here are steep and fast so 1x10 would be too hard on a long climb and then max out too easily on the way down. I should...

I hope that was you that removed your car from the street! Also, tell me more about this fork.

2x10. Not sure if clutch-type is important. I like the shadow design. I will not be lacing wheels. I was also thinking of doing Sram/Avid or Shimano for brakes. Whichever the shifters are, so I...
