Had the same thought. Nice ride, nice shop.

Edit to also add, while not a 2013 purchase, was a relatively late '12 purchase (stock photo)...

Damn that's no fun, in that case sounds like fatbike might be nice for what you're describing.

You should get your Dr to write you a prescription, see if Garrison can run it through insurance ;)

If you're interested a buddy of mine is selling one very local to you. Surly Pugsley 16" PM for more details.

Idea is interesting, but I think it'd wear off quickly, especially if you're riding...

They're all infected, that was what the CDC guy whispered into Rick's ear at the end of Season 1 and later becomes more public knowledge in Season 2. So anyone who dies becomes a zombie.

My first dropper post (but have briefly ridden a Joplin) experience is with the Fox DOSS that I couldn't pass on price. Current Cat1 XC racer, so don't bother moving post on ups or downs b/c it's...

Didn't really get into it when it was live, but have now seen every episode and may be some of the best TV ever. Kept my Netflix subscription active in part b/c I knew this was coming...

Starting to hear about fatbikes more around here, but we don't seem to get enough snow for me to prioritize it. Bit of non-fatbike snow stoke from yesterday (couple of inches and then freezing rain...

I think in one of the earlier Prison episodes they mentioned the armory. Though I don't know why a prison would have smoke grenades instead of tear gas.

All in all a pretty good 1/2 season,...

As has been suggested a few times....

AirChuck + MOSA threaded 16g from Amazon is the way to go. I race XC and most of my rides being fairly short/fast (with a timecrunch to get home) it's the...

^^ That is an interesting idea, one of those hordes in a field against an industrial farm sized harvester wouldn't last too long. There has been a definitive lack of running zombies over with...

I've had it go both ways. One that I had KOM on crossed a semi-busy road on a short segment, pretty much why that feature exists.

What really is annoying me lately is idiots who setup a popular...

I ride year round not too far away from you. I don't have winter shoes (though I hear Lakes are the only one's worth a damn, including the Sidi and Specialized ones) and really hate booties. I use...

Indeed welcome to the club (although I did just buy a FS29er), for some you may start obsessing about gears more than when you rode a geared bike. Also while I cringe at the cost of an XTR/XX...

That is great, only thing missing:

^^ It is skill, a cylcocross skill, they were probably just training for the upcoming cross season. =D

That video is incredibly pathetic.

^ While viewing the segment there's a 'My Results' link that shows all your rides on that segment.

Race report deleted

I meant more along the lines of more post exposed the better, but Ti is always cool. Though you might only get the "M" visible from the Moots seatpost sticker. Oh so blingy though.

I'm kinda...

Ti seatpost, especially long and setback, would help about any aluminum XC frame taint comfort. Probably not all that helpful on a Dirt Jumper though.

^ It's likely closer to a 2 lb drop in frame weight, but agree. I own a steel El Mariachi and a Ti Lynskey; my El Mar frame is about 5.5 lbs for a Medium, think the newer are a bit heavier vs my...

Loving Strava, though I did cringe when one of the popular multi-use (hiker/bike only) downhill trail segments was created recently (and I've done that at incredibly "unsafe" speeds now with it...

King wheelset alone on that bike is worth at least 400 if in good shape IMO (as an owner of 2 King wheelsets)

Edit to add - BB7s kick ass purely from an ease of use standpoint and those are Avid...

Agree with many of the comments above. 2nd tier equipment should become pretty reasonable with some good connections, and is more than adequate.

I race Cat 1 XC and some Elite races, it's not...

sent you a PM on one of the seatposts

I'd agree too if I lived in ID/WY. Here it gets pretty sloppy for many months of our riding season (and sometimes mid-summer too for short spells). Even the new one's (which are far better than old...

Can't disagree with the CB durability, but I love the feel of eggbeaters and I'm certainly not a tri-geek. I have started using the Look Quartz on my main ride though b/c it did get old w/ warranty....

That's a 2006, not '07 (http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bikes/archive/2007/stumpjumperfsr/stumpjumperfsrexpert). I had an '06 expert and it appears he's swapped some parts over the years. I...

#'s 5,9, and 42 are most important IMO respectively.

Don't do this. I have the black RXL's and on my 2nd pair in ~18 months. The first pair completely separated the sole from the rest in the heal area in 6-7 months of riding and I know another guy...

They recently retired Bonktown, so it's now both Mtn and Road.

Everyone with the new SLX/XT/XTR's do you have the little external reservoir?

I just bought XTRs and found them straightforward to bleed, but had to use an Avid Syringe for the external reservoir...

You're doing it wrong. Riding bicycles is serious business.

Agree with Chaka. Good shoes are worth it, buddy of mine is on yr 7 with Sidi Dominators. I have very lightweight, pretty stiff Bontrager RXL's but they have not held up well. May look at...

At spec they've loosed 2x (once completely de-tensioned), well above (can't tell you how much, buddy and pro-racer re-tensioned last time) and they've been fine for over 500 miles off-road since
...

^^ exactly

Have a King/CX-ray/Crest 29er wheelset, that is running crazy high tension and have never needed to touch them.

What do most friends/others ride where you want to ride? Usually a fairly good indicator of what you should be looking at.

I generally agree with the HT 29er comments above.

Is the F29 above the RLC model? I think it's a red external compression adjustment dial...

Might have a buddy who's interested

Anecdotal experience, but a friend had both a Pivot 429 and TB for a while at the same time. He recently sold the Pivot. I'm interested in the Salsa, but stuck on HT's for around here.

Since I'm...

^^ Pretty spot on. That shotgun of Hershel's was awesome, must have fired 30 shells b/f reloading and only b/c of the 1 zombie. Meanwhile there are 15 zombie's behind him chasing Lori/Andrea etc.
...

^^ I'm in if Lori dies.

It took too long to finally find some truly bad humans (Shane has one foot in this camp, but not completely), even the first season gang guys weren't really bad. I'm...

^^ Pretty sure you're right, L. That was definitely a fun trip, although I don't remember the trek out being particularly fun (funny though in retrospect)

Recently used Marine Goop this per some recommendations on this board. Too early to tell long-term, but was as easy to apply as wood glue, but is built for keeping water out.

Marine Goop...

Interesting to hear, been in there a few times and brought a mount to them a few years ago they declined. It would have been a 2nd set of holes in a Volkl GS race ski w/ metal topsheet, nearly 0...

^^ Good call, I loathe Avid's bleed process. If it's harder to bleed my MTB brakes than my car, it's designed poorly.

I have heard that Formula is much more Shimano like w/ easy bleeding. Also...

Sorry man, my heart is set on something of asian persuasion.

BigE - Ah yeah, i've forgotten about Snowshoe now that it's like 10 hours from my house. Never did MTB there, though obviously heard all the great things.

TR - I know you live in CA and all, but...

Might just be marketing gimmicks, but the new XT ICE-tech or whatever pads seem to make some sense. Should help dissipate some of the heat, then again the DH tracks you're liking riding (Wisp I...

Agree with the above, although have mine mounted a bit further back. Skiing mine in 99% forwards direction only, and they work well on about any terrain (have used them in fresh and leftover pow as...

After reading this I think I agree with you. I used my 2011 Volkl Katana's (more rocker than current one's) on some 1-2" of soft over icy base this weekend. It does have rebound, it just seems to...

From what I understand most Fox 26" forks fit 650b wheels already.

I know a few people who love them, though tire selection is definitely limited. Have some broad range options, but not much...
