Avail from Subaru.


Like it. Pretty basic interior but functional. As with my 2006 outback, body is stiff & tight and I don't anticipate rattles down the road. I like the fact that Subaru...

Just giving you a hard time. I thought it was common knowledge that the Internet is filled with twelve page threads arguing the pros and cons of roof vs hitch racks, so I was just referring to that...

Manual version doesn't have the sound insulation under hood. Costs $140. Auto journalists have generally been too stupid to remember this factoid from Subaru.

Strange decision by Subaru to...

picking up an orange crosstrek cvt tomorrow morning. going rate seems to be around 5% off msrp despite the fact that they seem to sell them within a week of arrival on the lot.

they are popping...

That forum already exists. :biggrin:

guess i'd be OK w/ a buy/sell sub-forum for bikes here. i'm not sure how much traffic it will get, so people will still place a link within the main...

traditionally the dhx air manages to suck on most frames, but espec on the nomad. over the past 4 yrs i've tried a few different shocks on my nomad (all air) and the best by far was a custom tuned...

what a surprise.

Phil, you referring to the new 2014 Forester with CVT and 2.5 liter? Talk about cargo room...not inspired by the exterior. For anyone looking at a new Forester, Subaru USA has realized they fucked...

ts01, I've driven both, and I thought I included that comparison in my post. I didn't notice the extra 130 lbs (don't recall the exact number). I did notice the better brakes on the crosstrek. The...

test drove one. agree w/ the magazine review that the rigid body structure, combined w/ a reasonable compromise on suspension compliance vs firmness for handling, makes it better than most crossover...

RC is like super old. Surprised he can get up any roost.

:rolleyes2

Yeah for months now I've been hearing anecdotes like this. However until I see a table of numbers for multiple riders on multiple runs, with associated statistics n shit, I'm going to remain...

always appreciate your perspective here....

..but. :biggrin:

good to have fossil back bringing the stoke. :cool:

a friend recently gave me a few proto 275 tires that are on the beefy side of things. i don't have a 275er or whatever they're called...

RocknRoll Gold for several years now. jm2e, it's not that complicated...do you avoid drinking beer because there are too many choices, or do you pick a beer that works for 99% of your drinking?

Yes, I can confirm that that is a stupid question. :fmicon:

I haven't paid much attention, but recall people griping about issues with the switch bearings. Then Yeti said it was a bad batch, sent out replacements, then people argued whether the issue was...

It's all one continuous song...those are two excerpts in radio-friendly top 40 format yo.

Dale Crover live back in the day...like having a wheelbarrow thrown at you. Filled with heavy cement.

What bike do you have it on? 2X10?

So over time I've been migrating from SRAM to Shimano, mostly because the shadow 10 spd stuff combines the low profile Shimano derailleur with close to 1:1 shift ratios. Thinking of getting an XTR...

My next build is on king hubs. Thanks Marshal for the compatibility summary.

Will probably go xtr 2x10.

I used OD since that's the std way most everyone is discussing this, so it was easier for me when cutting and pasting.

The percentage increase argument is unaffected.

I don't think the...

Some serious apples vs oranges going on there. But you knew that. My DHF 2.5's on a DH rim have an OD of 26.8"...I think your OD measurement is a big high. Larger 27.5 tires like the conti trail...

can't get to kwood today unfortunately. anyone see the aftermath of this wreck that happened yesterday? ...

99% sure I have one. PM me to help remind me to look when I'm back home from my ski trip.

Telemahn nailed it.

As for Enduros, I've found that they really really benefit from having propedal on when climbing. the difference is very noticeable in my experience.

doesn't the adapter get locked into place (from a security perspective) with the usual lockable two-piece thru bolt?

As for preventing movement, ask for some scrap aluminum wedge material at a...

The 2013 constructions make more use of maple (core perimeter) and rubber damping layers. So the net weight didn't come down much. It's more that the carbon fiber weight savings allowed use of...

just think how much better they'd ride that on a 29er!

agreed. I was thinking of joining them on Sunday, but Lucy Crabapple and I decided to get some Mtn biking in outside the basin. I figured that line would be windboardy...

great review Marshal. the info on toe elasticity and heel forward pressure is fairly straightforward stuff that a lot of us enginerd types will already know, but you did a great job of summarizing...

you can install snaps on the pant cuff that work pretty well at keeping the pants out of the way during cramponing.

The Sony rx 100 looks better and better. From the reviews I've read, the LCD can be manually boosted to be pretty visible in direct light thanks to the extra white pixel feature.

Good battery...

I haven't skied the 120 spoon (yet) but the above comments about the pure 3 construction vs older pures directly reflect...

Ugh. Snow at kwood yesterday was much more powder-like than today's consolidated slab fest.

doubt it.

Interesting thread. There are times when I prefer the volume:weight ratio of a tunnel tent, other times when I prefer a intrinsically bomber free-standing tent like my wild country UK tent. I...

Alias pack is working out pretty well so far with some slight modifications. It's unfortunate that BD didn't equip this pack to work well right out of the box, but there are some strong positives...

powdork, yes, we're going to that SAC fest.

Good to hear the fit is getting some adjusting. GF got me a TC vest, size Lg...very bizarre cut. Being totally serious here when I say it would be good fit for this guy:

Ullr comparisons? For a midweight ski (just 10 lbs in a 194 despite significant maple content in the core) it's a relatively damp, smooth feeling ski that handles non-ideal powder conditions very...

Getting more time on the 194 Ullrs during this recent cycle. Moved bindings back to -2.5 cm relative to dimple yesterday, and really like this mount location. Pipeline @ killebrew:

Conundrum, my abc post was on a thread that sugg'd this bike would somehow derail the incipient trend toward 27.5 for AM bikes. In that context, my points make sense.

Thanks. Yeah, been paying cobbler / outdoor repair guys to do that for 20 yrs now, and may do that here if necessary. Was just hoping BD had a pack that was already set up for this kind of use. ...
