Conti RideTour has been treating me pretty well for about a year and a half now. 2,000-ish miles and the rear still has pretty good tread left. I'll rotate them in a few months and they should be...

Dude, yikes! I tend to sprint for greens when commuting and now I'm nervous about it. I do have a 10 sp SLX mtb chain on there at least, not that I have any idea whether it's actually stronger than...

Historic moment!

Brutal.

I wasn't expecting much with my twilight pass but Brighton was still skiing great 2-4. Landings out the Milly bowl gate were still cold pow. Should have brought the Gopro. And no red snake going...

Couldn't get out of work once this week. FOMO levels couldn't be higher. Stoked for those who scored.

I don't even know where to begin: https://cars.ksl.com/listing/6959918

Here's a pretty solid ATK recipe. It's as close to real BBQ as you'll get in a slow cooker/oven. Recipe uses a slow cooker but a dutch oven at 250* will work just the same: ...

With no kids I could do 1,000 sf no problem, especially if there's a garage involved. But, I will agree with Ted that only one bathroom is untenable. 1.5 would be fine, really just need a second...

My in-laws sold their paid-off house in the SLC 'burbs (which is now worth more than double what they sold it for in 2006) and built a ridiculous new 6,000 sf home an hour away using the exact logic...

The point that you seem to be missing is that it's not uncommon for brown people to fully comply and get shot anyway. Regardless, unless a suspect is a mass murderer trying to flee should not give...

I literally cried laughing.


Moving on, this is nuts:

Yep.

Over $700/yr from my Costco Citi the last few years. Zero juggling. Though, I am now pondering getting that Citi double cash card. Use the Costco card for gas, travel, restaurants and Costco...

Any thoughts on the Whoop strap or Oura ring? Both stupid gadgetry that tells you things you already know if you're honest and pay attention to your body? I have some serious fitness to rebuild...

We own an Instapot that was hype-purchased despite my objections. I'm pretty sure it's been plugged in at least once.

Since I was recovering from a head injury last year I switched to flats for trail riding for maximum bailability (Protaper pedals and Freeriders). Didn't ride a ton, but rode them enough to form a...

Same explanation was given for the officer who killed a guy on a BART train in 2009: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Oscar_Grant#Taser_confusion

Do I believe it in either case? I don't...

Heh, downclimbing and hateful bushwacking low down on Timp. BT; DT :D

Never heard of Gatorade Endurance, interesting. I'm curious what the glucose:fructose ratio is with the ingredients being sucrose, malto, and fructose. Might be a little heavier fructose than...

Sick! I thought about checking that out today but thought better of it. I have a lot of fitness and technical skill to rebuild before I take that thing on.

Took him out on a very low-traffic trail this afternoon. Did 6.5 miles and 1,000 vert which was well within what he's done trail running. He started out in front since that's how it works running. He...

I haven't used a DPX2 on this bike. My previous shock was a DVO Topaz T3 that came with a custom tune for this frame. The Mara feels way better than the Topaz ever did. It's more supple off the top...

So happy I'm no longer the sole Manitou homer around :D #IRT4lyfe

Now you need to go all-in and get a Mara Pro and some Dominion brakes.

If there's a good descent involved, I really couldn't give less of a shit about the route to the top. I also ride solo more often than not. Music or podcasts are definitely required, though.

You may, possibly, be speculating excessively.



Far upper-right on the Cool/Terrifying matrix.

Sir, I generally hold you in high regard, but your degree of disdain for a 3.5-mile 1,200 vert road climb is challenging my convictions.

Please don't take it that way. Clearly that post needed an emoji of some kind. Just trying to save you from pulling a mall walker :D

Pretty cool to see Krispy on Pinkbike today: https://www.pinkbike.com/news/video-the-first-rider-to-drop-at-the-first-ever-rampage-krispy-baughman-in-then-and-now.html

Subscribed. Got a dog a month ago after a lifetime without one. I've only been running with him so far. dfinn recommended this collar in another thread and I picked one up: ...

I've been using Hayes D-Series (1.95 mm) for a couple seasons and they've been most excellent.



Dude, stop.

I'm intrigued. Haven't been on Strava in a few days, I'll check it out.

Anyone ever ridden that Miners Trail up Emigration? Looks like it could a good low-traffic spot to try riding with the dog...

We watch a lot of Top Gear and Grand Tour. We had to have a discussion with the 11 y.o. that "Cocking about" and "Oh, cock!" are phrases that must not be uttered outside the house.

Specialized S1 is really small, assuming you can get one.



IIRC, Tech Tonics' daughter is fairly small and rides a 29er. As always, YMMV.

Especially for someone 80+ who's just trying to hang on for a few more years so they can die in the home where they have all their memories. I can see both sides of this argument and there's clearly...

GJ is not on the way back to MT, but certainly far less out of the way than Sedona or StG. Another good "on the way back to MT from Moab" locale would be Richfield. Seriously. I haven't been...

Assuming we're talking about Paradise Rim, it's definitely on TF (https://www.trailforks.com/trails/paradise-rim/). Short, but a super fun trail. Up Turtle/down Paradise is about as good as it gets...

I had no idea what JASO MA was, interesting: https://www.rymax-lubricants.com/updates/what-does-the-jaso-oil-specification-mean/

The Motorex does have that rating. Probably don't want to use...

The full fine print on the Manitou bottle actually says "Motorex Power Synth 4T SAE 5w/40"

In other words, this: https://www.cyclegear.com/accessories/motorex-power-synt-4t-engine-oil

So, it...

The Manitou-branded bottle literally says SAE 5w-40 on it.

The damper is Manitou's MC2 damper which uses Maxima 5wt. It's a fully sealed damper, there shouldn't be any exchange with the semi bath...

How picky do I have to be about semi bath oil in fork lowers? Manitou-branded semi bath oil is listed as 5w-40. Can I use the Rockshox 0w-30 I have already? Can I pick up a quart of any full...
