More power to ya for getting it this far...

Definitely needs a sauna. Not like you're ever going over 35 (if you're lucky and the axles hold up), so you might as well be refreshed on arrivals.

I seriously doubt the long term target market is US/EU. Sure, it's a cherry on top if it actually breaks in, but the guy strikes me as interested in a transformative product aimed at the huge base of...

Good times, good times.

About a million pages of KM builds on MTBR, but I've found an "easy" gear like 34x22 to work well for me at elevation and let me ride more stuff at pretty limited downside...

Maybe Slickrock wasn't the best choice for my first time out clipless...?

Question is, what are the odds of being fatally hit by lightning while drunkenly riding a cargo bike full of fireworks away from a swarm of angry bees during a heat wave?

FYI, neither the piss (as an ammonia delivery system) nor boiling water helped with the sea urchin spines stuck in my foot (nor drinking saltwater, etc.), despite multiple locals' insistence...

W/r/t to insurance, there are several old threads discussing that here as well as...

Bumper induced "degloving".
The layer that looks like mesh is a skin graft (apparently very healthy, believe it or not).
Modern wonders.

Bump. This thread is useless without pics.

I have one set yesbrakes, one set nobrakes and they're always pissing on each other.


Srsly tho - as has been noted, dyna brakes aren't always the best at deploying, especially in heavier/wetter...

Single speed big dummy with a 160 fork running 2.5 up front and 21 rear. All white with a honey Brooks and ape hangers. Duh.

If you're serious about tours, especially longer/carrying overnight weight spend 75% of your budget and most of your time on boots/liners. That means trying on as much as you can this spring and then...

It'll either be sunny and beautiful or dumping. Could be firm and sun baked, but it's still some of the most awesome mountains in the lower 48. Expanded on-mountain terrain is great and more likely...

Glad you're okay and kudos for the milage. Looks like a nice replacement/upgrade.

Pretty happy with my BB7 roads. Some good threads out there about getting them dialed, IME seems like good housing...

This.

My vote would be for up and over Ophir pass to keep things interesting, but that's even less likely. As is throwing a big loop out to Dove Creek and back through Norwood to show off the...

srsosbso - fyi, I thought the Barons weren't a good tourer or a particularly good alpine binder, just felt like a compromise on both counts and I tour much more. Sollyfit plates might be a good...

Hold the skis up over a candle for a few minutes, they'll melt right out. Then a liitle anti-sieze and 2 part steel paste, good as new.

Works fine for me for occassional resort days, no experience with day in day out. I ditched my barons, sounds like it'll work for you. By the end of the day I also like having less weight on my feet...

Single + coaster

Impressively random bump.

Nothing. They are basically a big hunk of "specially formed" rubber in there.:fmicon:

They go on/off via a plate between the U-bolts and leaf pack. Don't know if that's what you consider...

this thread keeps delivering. funneh vid^

parts of the front range are still riding awfully nice...

No experience w/the Nunataqs but won't go wrong with Drifters or Chargers in either of the bigger lengths, depending on your preference for bigger open lines (191/2) or trees (181/2).

FYI

Free bump for a nice frame. Hadn't realized the ti version was vertical drops that won't play as nice with the rear wheel I just built...

Nice sequence & congrats!

Consider voile vector paired to verticals. It'd be fine for regular resort plus occasional tours for a lighter, mellower skier and I bet she'd notice a pretty big difference in knee fatigue whether...

If you're going that direction, might as well spend a couple hundred more for better parts (unless you hate shimano)

But it's a good time of year to buy from LBS if you're going new and both of...

Probably not happening, but desired...pics? Issues?

A few more spots to add to your list, not claiming all have good road scenes, but good rides at least and do well in the kids/mountains category. Also, based on my living or extended visits...
...

What road bikes do you have and why?

Lots of good options now that everyone's making big wheel bikes, so unless you're the sort that's happy riding whatever you're on then it's more a question...

Stokalicious!



What the hell is going on in March?

Strongly recommend Timbrens over airbags. They're basically big extended stops that bolt in place of the factory rubber.

Drifter in 172. Purchase, ski more, contemplate ski options less.

+1 on a 65 w/wide bars (710) making a big improvement over 100ish and 630 for everyday SS singletrack for me. Feels better standing to crank, getting back to go down and otherwise staying centered....

aaahhh...sorry all...BV and truck sold out on the west slope. I didn't have a good way to store her and found a guy who was excited about matching her to his restoration project '77 GMC...

oh yeah. love the trail coated in gold.

Like the block lettering, but the script is kind of classy in a "no sex in the champagne room" way...

No love for BV...?

Hate to do it, but she's heading toward Craigslist...

Do love the patagucci, but the price point on those actually got a "you've got to be kidding" out loud. Also don't seem like they're designed foremost for skiing, especially w/a beacon and pack... ...

It's just going to make it better when you do get it.

Not really a defeat...just part of the mountains.

Good on ya for posting the sufferTR

Blues and brews bump!

Simple as this. Not like you have to buy every little thing there or be self-righteous and dogmatic, but folks running stand-alone shops are not getting rich doing it, and the price difference vs....

Are you in Glasgow, Libby or Darby?

Will deliver in the Rockies with sufficient incentive...

Also, should have mentioned openness to full/partial trades, especially for the camper. Pretty good...

MTM and Diesel - thanks for the well-wishes! Hope your rigs have seen some good times this summer!
