I'm hoping it can be repaired somehow, though I'm not optimistic. I have them dialed. Reached out to customer services, will see what they say.

Well shit... ~70 days in and I blew a hole above my heel. I can't pin down exactly when it happened, just noticed as I was putting them on today. Anyone else seen this?510519

They've added a "sticker lane" at the mouth of BCC that allows you to bypass ~10 or so cars once you're past the light. It's a small incentive - but the backup before you enter the canyon is as bad...

22" of blower, Bills win, and even some blue skies today. you really can have it all.509889509890509891509892509893

Big fan of Derek at Sport Loft. I trust him with all my work.

what a day. here's the lady testing the depth.

Scooped up some 275/70r17 LT3s for my 4runner a couple of months back. Glad I did because they're no longer making that size. I know the D-load is overkill for a SUV, but I was pretty set on matching...

PM'd

$300 and still likely to pack out in 30 days. No thanks.

These certainly look interesting. I'm a sucker for purple.https://www.pomoca.com/upload/media/skin_matrix_image/0001/03/thumb_2174_skin_matrix_image_big.png

Small but welcomed change. Once these are in stock generally I'll probably grab a pair. One less thing to worry about.

Anyone get a better view of the lighter-weight touring liner yet? I've seen some black/red liners floating around IG but can't tell for sure if they're the new ones. Who's got the scoop?

Finally got around to riding this on Saturday. Good recommendation. One of the longest sustained downhill trails I've ridden in a while. Though I can't recommend riding it at 11am in August... The...

Rain started around 15 minutes before we reached the top of Honeycomb last night. That top section after some rain will live in my memory forever. All time. The rock garden... less so. Very slick &...

I've always climbed from Alta (Germania). am I missing out??

the wildflowers on the BMT are poppin right now. trail was in as good of shape as it gets. definitely recommend.

Made my way into Days last night. Only made it about ~3miles in before I was flirting with sunset, so didn't get to the final climb. Good news is, not very dusty. Bad news is, climb still sucks....

Rode the Brighton stuff - some of it incredible, some of it a little rich for my blood. Whoever built those trails did an impressive job.

Alta -> Snowbird has consistently been a favorite, but it...

Looking for some alpine-esque rides in/around the Wasatch. The past couple of summers I've been increasingly making my way up to honeycomb/silver fork/days fork and have really started appreciating...

Honeycomb was "closed" last year but I rode it, people saw me, and didn't say a thing. I assumed that it was just because they had heavy equipment out for trailing building, so it would help them in...

For what it's worth, I've had up to 3 bikes (all 29") on mine and been down some pretty rough trails and never had a bike even think about coming off. I agree there is a little bit of "wobble" - but...

Currently doing a rebuild on my Code RSC levers (have a partially stuck lever and the contact adjust wheel isn't spinning). Sram says you can use either DOT fluid or DOT grease on the new lever...

I thought so at first - but then I noticed in the bike release video the compound/casing combo on the front tire is in fact trail and soft. Here's to hoping for trail/soft and enduro/supersoft....

New Revel Rascal is spec'd with Conti Kryptotal, but in the Trail Soft compound. I've been hearing good things about these tires. A Trail Soft might get me to pull the trigger (don't need Enduro,...

Anyone else running through laces with GFT + Zero G combo? I'm on my third set already. I can't tell if it's the rivet on the instep, or simply just the clog/cuff junction rubbing on the liner. No...

Someone read the book 😂

Very nice! Big fan of the Central Park grips. I don't have them on bamboo sticks, but I did put them on some discount bin poles that I was able to find. Ended up buying a third (single) grip and...

Good on you for getting a parking spot. Lot was abysmal at 6:45. Had to settle for Beartrap. Really fun snow for swerving through Aspens though.

Thank you! Never knew this existed - will follow along there!

Any reports from the Southern Wallowas? Headed to the Norway hut at the end of Jan and looking to get a feel for the current snowpack. I assume its... sparse.

Does the sole of your boot touch the spacer when you're in the pins? When I measured the to the top of the brakes it was right around 15mm, and I believe the lowest the spacer goes is 15mm. Curious...

Technically a little less - as it would be the height of a braked pair without the brakes locked. From ski topsheet to top of locked brakes = 25mm. For non-brake versions the topsheet to stomp is...

Agreed, I have the 175-190 on my 188 intentions and there's not much tail to work with. Would suggest 185-200 if having a tail is something you prefer.

Recently got a pair of brand new Tours for cheap (the ones with the 50mm track that "require" brakes). Was really interested in mounting them brakeless, and had an extra set of the brakeless plastic...

All set here. Found someone willing to part with their old beat up heels for cheap. Put my new towers on the base plates from that set and I'm good to go. I didn't want to mount directly to the ski...

Recently ordered a brand new pair of Salomon MTNs, but they're the old Tour model that must be run with a brake. I'd prefer to run these brakeless (and have the option in the future to run brakes)....

I think you'll be a fan. My goal was to mimic (or improve) the same "close to shin" feeling when you use the built-in liner strap. My first attempt was using 3 tubes of cork - no dice. I find the...

Only thing I didn't love about the GFT in the Zero Gs was that liner cuff was much higher than the shell. Picked up one of those Atomic dual straps and so far seems like the move. Excited to try this...

I'm hopeful it will be like the honeycomb situation this year - where they put a sign up saying it's closed but then don't actually enforce it. all in the name of liability and CYA. i'm still gonna...

Solitude also just announced that all uphill travel is off limits for the rest of the year. This includes the road. Huge bummer.

New design from Voile - the Charger Ace. Looks like they're moving to a hybrid sidewall construction, incorporating tail clip notches, and "modernizing" the graphics. Overall, looks like a big step...

Confirmed via Zipfit that the diameter of the tubes have evolved, and thus the new plungers are smaller in diameter than the old. Will definitely sand it down to get it working smoothly again - but...

Yeah I forgot to mention, I tested both cold & warmed up (via microwave) - and to be honest the microwave feels like it made it even harder to push it all out. Like it constricted the tube even more.

Here's a random one - is anyone else having trouble pushing cork through the tube with their plunger? I bought my plunger about ~5 years ago, and the tubes of cork I recently purchased seem.. much...

Have not tried a blowdryer, but while traveling I have brought two socks full of rice, microwaved em, and used those to heat them up before heading out. Similar to the intuition at-home process, but...

Where does everyone stand on removing the liner strap and/or laces to improve walkability? I removed the strap for a tour yesterday and found it walked much better, with the downside of the tongue...

Bout as good as it gets this morning, even on low angle.

266(L) and 271(R) and I'm in a 25.5 for both resort & touring. Resort boots needed a small toe punch (hawx), but ZGTPs are $. Most of the work I do is in the form of a thicker tongue to keep my...

Anyone else wind up with very different tongue lengths after heat molding? I bought these HV Pro Tour tongues recently, and the right one has always felt shorter. But I didn't realize it was this...
