I have friends that post pretty funny shit now and then. Kids I worked with posted their walk to get their HS diplomas at graduation.

Thanks toast, I was hoping.
There’s really nothing analogous to the e-bike “dilemma” right now. For example, with Backcountry skiing one of my local spots might get a little crowded, so I just moved...

Hey Fred, I was Backcountry skiing more than 30 years ago and sometimes it’s really crowded (not really really), and all I have to do is ski right next to the line somebody else took and it’s just as...

The e-bike discussion may take over and kill this thread. A couple days ago two people came into my store to buy light hiking shoes for their e-bikes. It’s interesting and also a bummer to watch how...

Yeah, I guess I’m at this stage now. When I ride the trails east of Seattle or around Winthrop, I have not seen one E biker that actually looks like a cyclist. Women in dresses, helmets on the back...

I have a few questions/comments from the last 25 or so posts.
-Why only Dura Ace? I replaced my semi-worn out DA with SRAM wifly. The shifting has been perfect for a few years now and I basically...

Onyx is paying for all that as subliminal advertising. Worked for me.

Fucking fat bike stretched/tore some inner hip muscle on the one time I rode it on dirt. FTS

They allow fat bikes on a few of the trails that also have been groomed for classic and skate, but they’re not that great to fat bike. One’s an 8K figure 8, and the other is just a 7K climb so when...

Hey toast, in the fat bike thread a few years ago I asked if should get a fat bike, and everybody said, you live in the greatest cross country ski area in the world, why would you want a fat bike? I...

Timely post. I’m in my 3rd day of tracking a creak/grind.

Sorry for the delay. I just started using them in the beginning of winter and used them all winter skate skiing, and I liked them so much, I bought the green lens aerospace goggles. I then got a...

My reactive Julbo glasses and goggles work.

Maybe an old manitou with the foam plugs.

Prolly, but we’re also prolly a lot less concentrated in one area.
Since there are waaaay fewer cyclists in my area, it would probably be a good place to test case the uphill-rider-decides protocol....

There's a lot of this kind of thing in general, especially since COVID. I had a few things like this just on an 8 mile ride near Issaquah a couple days ago.
-Downhill riders just coming at me,...

Hmmmm, I bought an expensive belt drive SS because...lazy wrenching.

That’s how I feel. There’s a 1 mile uphill segment, almost always against the wind, that somebody has the KOM as part of their 14 MPH 50 mile loop, and they’re 45 MPH on that segment. They’ve had...

Ding!

When one switchback in 15 feet is good, why not 2?

I agree with everybody's posts, really. If the trailmaker wants the turn to go there, then there should be something to make you turn, like around a tree, boulder, whatever. You can see just behind...

It’s not flat.

I’d like to rant about this:

This trail is only a couple years old and already people can’t deviate 12 inches over from a straight line. Also, already, before every curve are stutter bumps...

Dang. They have some nice shit. Maybe on my Xmas list.

I was going to say something similar. I lift in the basement or garage with a bench and barbells.
I mean, I get it, but the real reason for not doing anything is you don’t want to.

Cool. When I lived in SF & Berkeley one of my standard rides was the Pine mtn loop. I only did repack once or twice because of how it dead ended. I did Bollinas Ridge a lot when I wanted to do a...

Yup.
Starting at about 15:30 or so they climb up to do repack on different bikes, the guy on the gravel bike can flat out ride.

Good list and amendment, and I don't dirt jump, but want to.
I just like riding bikes. I think it's fun. The only thing for me is I trained for Leadville many years ago when the singletrack was ...

I stripped about 4 of those. Heated a slot screwdriver and melted in a slot to do a work around, then bought 4 extras. When I stripped those I bought XT’s.

Now show us your 0.5 nm one.

Related to spears the bears are feeding on Serviceberry where I ride now. They pull the thin willowy trees down to eat the berries, and the tree stays hung down across the trail. They're actually...

Kinda like Rog, there are all these people we can’t stand so we send them away, but they keep coming back.
I just got to say it’s kinda hard to rant right now. My local area is basically doubling...

Damien. Who was he before Damien and who is he now?

So... MIPS is bad? I don’t have it on my cycling helmet but I do on my ski, (Sweet), helmet and I don’t even notice it’s there. Maybe this is a brand specific or it’s not sized properly? I was...

#2 Hydro Disc Brakes

I’m thinking of two specific instances, one you may be right, but the other one they’re definitely trying to F up with the trail.

I don’t run into the asshole horse people because what I hate about them is riding the trails when they’re too wet, putting huge hoof holes in the trail. I’m specifically not riding then to preserve...

What if that easily pedalable “trail” is a boring fire road?
What if the trail that is now the unofficial DH trail is easily rideable up on a SS?
What if most locals actually built the now...

Cows say:
“Moooooooove yer flow BS to somewhere else!”

^^^ Well Creeky, we had a good run, then.

Yup. With the added excitement of “Oh my god the trail makes hard right turn around a tree, we better straighten it out.” Especially on old, well-established trails.

I completely understand...

All the new trails in Winthrop are built exactly like this. They just wind around on flat land doubling back on themselves. It’s a horrible trend. But I guess they “flow”.

That happens? Woah that sucks.

Just yanking yer chain gravitylover.

Careful assuming that.

I ride as hard as I can all the time. It's the way I'm wired, and I process things fast. I don't know how many times I've passed people hiking or biking and then my wife...
