The drought has led to alot more sand (moondust). Plan on it taking about an extra hour. With the construction on Schaffers you needed to be through the switch backs before 7:30 or afrter 3:30. That...

Both of them could put me over the bars if I locked up the front. The XT s did the first day I rode them when converting from old 2 bucket XT s! That said, I am not a chair lift guy, and my longer...

Look at the heavy duty tubes too. They add weight, but unless he's racing, who cares.

Thank you all for not blasting me on questions previously answered in the thread. On the radials, did the tread tear off? I had theat happe on a two sets of Schwalbe's and swore never to go back...

Has anyone ridden the Schwalbe radial. Is it in fact noticable in it's difference?

Don't come here to ski Park City. They have done a terrible job. We are at 100% of average snow pack, and they have massive tracts of chairs that are not under exposure closed. The only...

I hit my first century on the new knee on New Years day. Six months in and the training / PT is starting to pay off. This number of hours on the bike has me thinking about a return to road biking. ...

One of my family members worked for a bit as a ticket booth person. She was always amazed at the number of people who became very angry at the ticket prices. Alot of people get on planes without...

Last time they had a bunch of patrollers from other mountains come in . They seemed to be mostly midwestern bumps owned by vail. It's hard to get mad at people who are nice and seemed to be getting...

Roxtar,

Coming from Los Alamos it will be a change. I would spend some time there before committing. There is some crime and homelessness. There are beautiful trails and more rugged mountains...

My new knee has reached the point where I need weights to build back the muscle, and this has taken me back into the gym world. Before this, I've lifted at home, but want the control of a sled and...

I only know a couple local stores fairly well. At those stores, the most junior employees are on the rental fleet. I could see that model repeating at shops across America?

In store bikes seem to be starting at 50% off. The margins a place like this live on will be so much less. I hope the founders all made 7 figure paydays at the expense of the VC guys and now can...

I rode whole enchilada for the first time in some time this week. They had done alot of work on Burro and Hazard making the typical October blown out conditions much better then normal. It's still...

Is enduro going to exist next year or in two years? It sucks, because I think it is where the majority of innovation in technology has been happening, but it is a tough event to sell on TV.

It always cracks me up when someone passes me running on hard scrabble. I just don't have that sort of dedication to a time. Some of you have a whole other level of fitness than me.

There is some you tube guy who pointed out "Why did they buy a huge warehouse"? I'd add to that, at Boulder Colorado Prices. I haven't lived there for a very long time, but back when we did, the...

NICA saved my oldest. He was lost and the support and structure led to success, jobs, etc. My youngest also has raced up until this year when the soccer coach decided they needed to be out there 6...

Boisal,

The trail used to run from where it connects to pinecone, directly across and through the flat to over by the Gondola and then tie into the long flowwy stuff through the evergreens. They...

Pink bike with a middle man. That said, I hope they pull it off. Having a used market outside of the classifieds is positive.

When mountain trails was conceding the best section of mid mountain to the Colonies developers I had a member of their leadership team telling me how many more miles they were giving with the new...

Garburuk Cassettes. My You Tube has been inundated with reviews talking about their being lighter than XTR and half the cost. One guy had the aluminum 52 bend. Any of you tried them and how did...

You should be stoked! That is alot of vertical. I have plans in the spring with that route on my goal list as part of my rehab! I look at it like running marathons. When people ask me my time, I...

As I've noted, my life right now is on blue trails. I have little power output, as the stupid new knee has caused a level of atrophy in the leg that means my 85# daughter has more leg mass than me. ...

Kid buys bike using his shop discount. Starts working an internship in the city right after delivery. Bike has creak, turns out to be broken part in integrated headset. Takes it to a shop in the...

The only part that matters.

I've spent / am spending my knee rehab on green and blue trails, rail trails and gravel roads. It's caused a bit of re-calibration. What I've learned.
1. The vast...

Having seen both passes now, I have no issue with either.

Haley should have taken the water and dumped it. It is weird that the complaint came from Puck. She went out of contention with the...

Dee, thanks for putting that up. Pidcock is a really amazing rider. his ability to thump out an occasional Mountain Bike race and dominate when he does is amazing. I love that he seems to love...

I've really enjoyed Haley throughout this season. My daughter got one of her kits from last year through her coach, and then got to spend some time with her at the soldier hollow stuff. She seems...

Four weeks post knee replacement and I've done a couple short rides on gravel and flat pavement. You don't know how much it means to you until your whole life is sitting on your ass and rehab. ...

There are also some extra small 29" bikes out there. I went that direction for my daughters latest. She is petite, but conscious that all of her friends were racing 29" wheels. This made it easier...

The Lifetime series is weird with their marketing. Little to no information on the days of races. You get more information out of velo news, etc., then from them. My fandom of a couple riders in...

It was a DT Swiss wheelset that we were discussing. That's brutal. I thought the guy was exaggerating.

I want my local shops to succeed. My son has been wrenching at one, and claims the bike...

Over the weekend I was told by a shop that currently you can get wheelsets online cheaper than they can get them at shop costs? Is that possible?
If that is the case, then the industry is...

What do the cops do if they don't go after this sort of thing?

A visa worker in town for Vail stole my identity and took out some loans. I was able to figure out who, because a bank worker broke...

There is a new dirt jumper line in progress on the climb on the end by the city side. It all goes smooth. Mordor didn't change. I didn't see anything else new, there is a thing called Wille...

Coyote is dead.
Did my annual birthday loop on it and found that someone has been riding a motorcycle on the town side knocking in alot of cookies. On the Jordanelle side, when you reach the...

Pan Am Thoughts. Blevins and Batten are noticeably faster than the rest of the field. Quite a few of the younger ages had strong rep from South America. It will be interesting to see how that...

The course is 95% marked. If you are riding, there is a rock roll you won't want to do blind.

anyone know if the Pan Am course at soldier hollow is set to pre ride?

I worked a bike swap this weekend. I was amazed at the deals. That said, the used gravel bikes were going for twice what the used road bikes were, and there were way less of them. That said, there...

A few thoughts from my time with Venture money people.

There is alot of conversation and communication with your CFO. They are letting him climb the rope and deliver what was promised. He and...

I think it is hard to let a person go when the team has just filled up three free boxes of free stuff for a rider. I''ve been thinking about this alot as I see the used market plummeting and the new...

The power of you tube.
I saw one of your rides on a you tubers video where the guy snapped the Spot frame in a relatively standard drop. It took them out of any consideration for me. It's funny...

Used bikes are less than half of what they were two years ago. Interesting times.

You guys are awesome!! Thanks

There are some off color next carbon cranksets on sale right now. Anyone know if the color is decals and paint I could remove with a heat gun?
