Well we hit it today, the classic way. But as soon as we hit Silver Creek the heavens opened up. Thought about waiting, but just descended in total puking rain. Bailed on Rainbow.

Wish we did...

Thanks for all the helpful commentary

Question for you folks from a PNWer here. Visting for this 4th weekend as was planning on doing some biking (Boulder Left Hand Canyon road bike, then Monarch Crest outta Salida).

My buddy wants to...

Man I scheduled all these summer MTB plans before spring decided to be fashionably late dammit!

My take on quilts for tosser-turners is that they are more comfortable for sleeping, but it's best to upsize on both length/width and temp rating so you're not trying to lock down the draftiness...

I saw a TR posted somewhere (maybe FB?) that went up a week or so ago. It might have been climber kyle but not sure.

Tempted...you have any sort of build kit you could include or nah

Hmmm ok, my buddy is pretty set on the sufferfest, but I might see if I can change his mind.

Lot of eBike action going on up here in the PNW. It's totally gonna take over, just a matter of pricing and reliability (sometimes the gen 1's have issues). I'm kinda waiting to replace my bike til...

Good luck...

If you're looking to sell it after you get the next one, then I'd go for something that holds it's value well. Specialized Fuse would be good in addition to the Honzo.

So there's been a slight change in plans for our trip and we're thinking about trying to do some more "epic" backcountry rides than maximizing for downhill fun. I'm wondering if riding Aspen -...

Dang missed this, totally would have hopped on it.

Checks out with Texas culture & Austin bike culture

Good to know, what kind of tires do you run? I feel like the DHF/DHRII is a little slow and I just built up the Chisel to be a bikepacking bike so I was excited to potentially bring that instead, but...

Thanks for the tips everyone. Speaking of riding out there, thinking of spending a few days in Crested Butte beforehand since I'll be there since before July 4th. Any trail recs?

Thinking of...

It's hard to imagine that he was in favor of murdering someone, but he may have indirectly been an accomplice. Who knows though.

Going to be in Snowmass in July and wanted to know if there's any shops that have better bikes than others. Looks like Aspen-Snowmass proper is "sold out" for the days I want to rent so I was looking...

The problem with DC-DC is mostly voltage. You need to convert the output voltage of the source (usually 12v) to the input voltage of the battery (usually 36-72v). Then you also need a balancer, which...

I used to be adjacent to the Austin cycling scene. Colin's rise was organic with the growth of gravel / adventure biking in Austin. I'm sure his sponsorships were not small but probably not massive,...

Now that's a good video.

Totally, it's a horrible situation.



Personal experience here too. It's not illegal to not talk.

Or he shouldn't have said a damn thing to anyone. When something happens involving the law you shut your mouth and get your lawyer. Doesn't matter if you're guilty or innocent or what. The world...

Including binders? I may be interested.

Custom shop open. I'm thinking about a pair with the BG III topsheet and raw pivots.....

REI is really taking a new approach to advertising.

I wish the 110 wasn't so ugly.

I actually thought the 112s got knocked around a lot more than a Wildcat 108 and I felt they’re a lot less stiff.

Hey, I have a Hagan 15% off code expiring today. I was so close to grabbing a Core Pro 12 for $450 after the discount but I really have no need. PM me if you want the code. Established mags get...

Bump, crampons sold.

If you're going to spend > $1000 I'd just get the Roval Carbon wheels new. Lifetime-ish warranty for $1350.

My buddy did. AFAIK it's identical to the renewal price before April 22. $200 off $1179 = $979.

If they had a throttle it would not be cool imo.

Bump, open to offers.

Bingo.

Rab Kinetic Plus - $100 shipped
- Size medium
- Used once

414188

Gregory Targhee 45 - $130 shipped
- Medium (but fits big)
- Used twice

Risk vs. reward. If they do the campus rep codes they are excellent - something like 40% off. If they don't you can always buy an Ikon pass for a $100-ish more than now

Speaking of diesels, anyone ever own a T1N?

How busy was Stevens? Worse than Crystal?

Skiing the resort tomorrow. I’ll post of a TR of our bailed Spearhead Traverse when I’m home. Winds were rippin’

I think you’d like it a lot. Probably pretty similar to that WD110 you’re selling :D

A little less loose and a little bit lighter and a much better skin system.

Good to know, looking to hear what you think when you get them out. I've yet to find a 1kg boot I really mesh with (but I haven't tried them all...)

Do you think 26.5 is the ticket for ya? Or would you consider sizing up?

Gonna be in 10 days...so who knows on the weather at the moment.

LeeLau - thanks for the info. I'll probably plan to take the 3 season unless the weather looks gnar.

Headed to do the spearhead traverse next weekend. Any thoughts on tents? I've got a pretty solid 3-season but I've heard folks saying that a 4-season is really nice for the winds. Not really that...

It’s manky af, but can’t complain

Woof

Actually yes, my friend in Chicago has a pair. 99% sure they're 186 but will check. He doesn't use 'em anymore. I believe they're mounted for an SPX binding around 300-310bsl. PM me if you want more...

What does it say
