My son has a leg length discrepancy of roughly 3.8cm. The shorter leg also has a much smaller foot. He's 9 but is quite small at 40 lbs and 3'-6" (he has Cornelia de Lange Syndrome). The leg length...

I always carried on my ski boots until last year I got lazy and of course my bags didn't show up. I will here on revert to always carrying on boots, etc. plus now have an air tag for checked skis.

I've had this happen to two different XT 4 piston calipers. Both times took it to a shop and they were able to get it warrantied by shimano. Apparently it's a known issue.

My experience with the patagonia dirt roamer storm pants is the same. Great waterproofing and fit, but the pockets suck- I end up just reaching under the waist band to my shorts pockets, which is...

I've had the exact same experience several times. I'm now on my 4th shimano derailleur in 2 years. Each one I believe took a minor hit and got thrown out of whack. Can't tell from looking at it other...

But I'm not on a buffaloooooo.

Trying again:
Anyone have any experience with Forth bikes (previously Park)? The X2 looks like decent hydro brakes, shifters, and fork for $615. On the heavy side...

Another voile fan here. Have a pair of Hyperchargers and a pair of 8 year old Vectors. The hypers are incredibly light yet ski pretty damn well. I mostly use them for low angle pow but have had great...

Love the highlands riding stoke, thanks for posting

Just came across this and am inspired to post. My son, who has mild Cornelia de Lange syndrome, is also 7 but developmentally maybe 4 or 5 (give or take depending on the topic). Still in a pullup at...

I bring superglue on overnights but perhaps should have it for day trips- so great for small cuts on hands that won't hold a bandage for long. Didn't know about a better performing medical version....

Agreed with all of the above, including the quick clot, except I skimp on bandaids. A roll of athletic tape and various amounts of gauze/absorbent pads with scissors or knife (on plier multitool) is...

Thanks! Ok so 8000 blade not compatible with 8120? Found some M785 blades too but guessing those are a no. Is the difference just the thickness? (came across comments online about having to grind...

Wife bent the right lever blade on her XT 8120 brake levers (bike on bike rack violence from an impatient friend). Are shimano lever blades all cross compatible? Looks like this one should work,...

Is the fork on that rascal set at 140mm? You could bump it up to 150 to get some more stack (slackens the angles and raises bb though). Sounds like lots of folks like it at 150. I'm also on a rascal...

If you end up trying the Fezzari, I can attest that they are straight up on the 30 day no questions asked return. I tried a delano and while it's a great bike I didn't jive with it (think mostly the...

27.5 best bet for her size. That said, my wife is 5'0" and prefers 29 for her xc bike. Would a 27.5 fit her better? Yes, but she's happy and loves the roll over capability. The stack height of 29er...

bump for price drop

Toe and heel baseplates have gone to milestogo. Still have Comfort heelplate, TLT toes, and the skis

164 Blizzard Sheeva 11
138.5-112-128.5, same as Rustler but different graphics.
Essentially new, wife skied them for a handful of runs and decided they were too short.
Mounted once on the line...

Great info noslow and babybear, thank you. Alpinevibes, yes and yes let's do.

Thanks, I fully agree that ~108 is ideal for this use (It's what I use as well). I'm working on trying to convince her of that, especially with the increased options in that range. Atris looks like a...

Haha Makers, that's a reasonable point.

Thanks all. It's a frustratingly narrow set of asks and why I came here as I was starting to bang my head against the wall. The ski needs to be capable in...

My wife is looking to replace her 168 length Kastle BMX 118s. She was very happy with them. They will primarily be used for hiking highlands bowl and general soft days at the resort. Will be mounting...

PMed you re: the 110 shifts

I am also a fan of a 28t chainring x 51t sprocket for steep high country riding. I'd rather ride my bike than walk it whenever possible. And as mentioned previously, on mellower trails you can spend...

That's a good call to verify my pressure- I'll see if I can find a gauge and/or another pump or two to confirm.

This last rim strike I did cut the tire, but the first one the tire seemed fine....

Now that I've destroyed a second aluminum rim (xm481) this season due to rim strikes, I'm looking at an insert for the rear. Anyone have experience with the Panzer? I'm only looking for rim impact...

Brake was bought separately for a build and I had the receipt (from an online retailer). Received it in April of this year so only 4 months old. Yeah, I was impressed by the service, but I did...

Update: I tried cleaning the sides of the stuck piston to no avail. Bike shop pushed it all the way out and found that the backside of it was crumbling apart. They called Shimano who apparently said...

One of the pistons in my 4 piston XT 8120 brakes is stuck. I can push the other three in easily. Tried with the system open at the lever port to no avail. Pumping the lever, all 4 pistons will move...

Found a wheelset, thanks everyone. A complete ranger will be up for sale in a week or two.

Looking for a 29" boost wheelset with XD driver, tubeless. Ideally a trail oriented one in good shape, not super heavy.

Long story short- I'm selling a Revel Ranger but don't have wheels to sell...

Thanks everyone. Think I'll go with the PNW. I found the fox service manual; it's 40 steps, requires a ton of specialty parts and tools, and looks to be above my current pay grade and patience level.

There's a hold up with the PNW Bachelor post that was going to go on my new Delano. Fezzari has offered me a choice of either the Fox Transfer in 175mm or PNW Rainier in 200mm if I don't want to wait...

Rad high country riding! Love it and thanks for sharing.

Rad trip report as always! I rode calico in late July this year- the moto crew was in the middle of clearing all the logs as I came through so should be all clear now. Love that trail.

My understanding is that cottonwood pass was passed up due to unstable soils but who knows.
I rigged my own air purifiers using box fans and 20x20 furnace filters. Let's me open everything up in...

That's what I figured, thanks!

My son just started pedaling his pedal bike (spawn yoji 14) for the first time a few days ago (stoked!). With the seat slammed all the way down he can use the bike as a balance bike with the pedals...

You make an excellent point on going new and not waiting due to the increased demand.

Commencal Meta TR 29, Fezzari Cascade Peak, Trek Fuel EX 8, Canyon Neuron CF 8, Norco Fluid FS 1, Giant...

What about the Marin rift zone?

Wow, there are a lot of options that look good that I've never heard of or had forgotten, thanks. Tough to try many of those bikes out unfortunately. At least it looks like Fezzari gives you a 30 day...

Thanks all, that's helpful. Meant to list Trance in my list so edited OP.

Trance is high on the list and one I'd have the ability to demo so will check it out. Read that the seat angle is slacker...

Help me choose.

Coming off a 2011 Giant Anthem 29. I like how it climbs but it beats me up on rocky descents these days so I'd like more travel/cush. I like to spend long days up in the high...
