I had a Tubolito in my tool wrap on my bike for over a year, and when I finally got a chance to use it, it had 2 small splits on the crease where it was folded.
That was a bummer, I was so stoked...

That was a fun one tonight. I fired off that aero boost a little early. Haha.
That last mile always feels long.

Whoops, missed this first time around.

FWIW, I was riding the stock X2, then an EXT Storia, and most recently a Diaz Suspension Design tuned DPX2 that is sized to give me about 170mm travel....

Haha. This is pretty much exactly what happened to me the other night.

Yeah, sorry, I thought I was gonna be on time, but got out of the shop late, then there was a Covid line at the liquor store. Felt like goddamn Utah for a minute.
ThenI forgot to plug my laptop in...

I panic bought this as my bike was coming together a few months ago, but then found a 36. Was gonna hold onto it for a new big bike next year, but would rather sell it now cuz December.

Lyrik...

That was good stuff tonight gents. Thanks for putting these together DH

We had a local semi-underground enduro here a month ago. Stages weren’t announced until the morning-of at the meeting spot, and the first stage was a Le Mans mass start. The good stuff. Excellent...

Haha. I haven’t even fired that thing up yet, it’s been so mild. Box fan is key. When I first set things up with the new trainer last winter I was sweating my ass off and left a massive puddle and...

Got a new gravel whip. Why R+.
It’s got a 1x drivetrain. 40t ring with 11-42 cassette. I’m pretty sure it’s whack. I pretty much found the limit on either end on the first ride.
Gonna give it...

Yep. This was my experience with them as well. Maxxis Ramblers and Gravel Kings have been my go-tos

I know, but I actually find that somewhat concerning. Lol.

I’m bummed I missed Tuesday that sounded like a lot of fun.
This would be rad. I wouldn’t ever be able to make the earlier EC ride b/c work, but will probably be able to make the 6pm mst laps.

My original plan was to drive out to Asheville in Feb, but my friend I was gonna visit wants to get out of town for a bit.
Big Bend/Terlingua is looking pretty good for some adventure riding, but a...

Yep, that's where I'm leaning too. I've heard Palo Duro in TX has some decent trail and Big Bend too. Guess I'll keep an eye on the virus and the weather.

I'd love to check out Bentonville, I've...

I work till 6, but if I can get out quick and bust it home I’ll jump in for a little bit. Thanks for putting this together.

I’m thinking of taking a riding trip to Texas and maybe Bentonville/Eureka Springs this winter. Timing would be around late Jan/early Feb.
One idea is to go south to Big Bend and then towards...

Cold nights in the tent and short, chilly days but my sordid love affair with Moab continues. Creepin in the backdoor from the south, off hours.

Only one ride on it so far, so not much to report besides it’s fast, super responsive and the light touch on the paddle to make things happen is awesome.

My only advice is to just accept from the get-go that you’ll have to completely undo one and maybe both bolts. Every time I try to loosen them just enough to shimmy the rails out it’s never enough. ...

I’d be down for some group rides. I’ve never done any races, I usually just pick a route that looks decent for my time/mood/energy and go givr the beans. Kinda how I approach road riding in...

I’m sure you’ve gotten better, but additionally, it did get a big, overdue freshen-up this summer.

It had a bunch of rickety jumps/drops, mostly b/c whenever a tree would fall we’d stack a bunch of logs in and make it a feature. It was steep enough that landing weren’t necessary. You might be...

What about OG Hazzard through the aspens with the fence jump?

This. Mostly the Amasa Back route...less the WE nomenclature, but sounds like it’s Koko down. Which is still rad. You might get lucky with Hazzard tmrw

Started hanging parts on a Rascal. Hopefully the drivetrain, post and brakes get here this week, just in time for some weather this weekend. Lol.

Sick. This sounds just like the stuff I think about when I ride my Mtn bike.

I’m in the same boat. Haven’t thought about it all summer, but I’m more stoked to put the bike on the trainer than put on cold weather clothes.

Would not be surprised, but can’t confirm. I held a 38 in one hand and a Zeb in the other and the 38 was noticeably heavier.
Dope build though. That thing is sweet.

The 38 is a bit piggish. You might bust that 30lb goal

The fixed length spindle binds the bearings if the crank has less than 2.5 mm worth of play(which is a lot).
