If your buddy is willing to warranty parts, then I'd buy the rack in a second. My NV core is 10 years old. But Kuat has literally sent me enough free replacement parts so that I have one part of...

Blew it up at Smuggs today with a bus load of high schoolers on sterling/ m II and a solid 10”. Once the word was out, still only had 5 minute lines.

Cooked

Not even a Thank you or Kind Regards? Somebody get that woman a drink.

Super jelly of the cat's pow shots recently. That guy knows how to ski

We’ve been patiently waiting at Smuggs for uphill travel. Current policy is that it’s typically closed.

I have opinions (and an asshole) and mtn ops seem to be having a new schedule, that’s cool,...

Fast corn and zero crowds made for smiles at smuggies today.

^^^cornice control at the mighty?

This next storm is a dick punch. I’ll see myself out.

Just grabbed tix for TTB at Essex fairgrounds. The new stage setup is chill. Saw Billy Strings light it up pretty good this summer.

Is that chair a quad? Nice paint work

So that's how chicken mcnuggets are made

20% of the people do 80% of the work

Scallops in a paper cup? Damn that’s core. But where’s the Turkey chili?

Thanks for this. Clearly there is a lot of current research in net-zero emission goals. Also, I was a bit hasty to say a reduction in consumption is the cure all/end all. That's just not super...

When I was studying resources in '17, the consensus seemed to be that renewables alone would not meet energy requirements - not by a long shot. Yes, we have NGO's saying it's possible with a world...

So Giddy the whole way up.

Crayfish swim backwards?

For sure. Full squish changed the game for the lady rider here. Less back pain, more confidence, and she’s very proud of her bike (which means I have to keep it tip top, but it’s worth having a hobby...

I’m due for a sufferfest at the farm. Could probably do Friday afternoon if anybody is down

Who is Modteam and why should we care. Thanks

A lady from NYC told me this summer that she moved fulltime to a place that is being heated only by a woodstove this winter. I've already got my slippers on

Relocating yellowjackets should have its own thread

Within the last two weeks, I heard from one shop that things are looking up. Another shop shrugged and said maybe 2025 for a frame only? Those are the extremes, I've also heard everything in between

Any camping recommendations for a weekend at Green Woodlands? It looks to me like D' Acres is probably the best bet for trail access.

funny thing is, salsa advertises 130 -150 fork. they spec a 150.
Anyways, You'd run the stiffest fork right? Unless you're concerned about weight...maybe small bump compliance?

To me, give the...

Theoretically (derp), I think wheel base is so important..

6 mil is over half a cm (duh).

Whether it's travel, geometry, wheel size or whatever. Whatever. Terrain is so varied here now. ...

Again, good stuff - there's a lot of insight. Thanks

^^Good Stuff. It's appreciated^^

In my mind, a shorter travel 29 makes sense compared to these monstrous sleds (shorter wheel base)... I'll try a longer and shorter 29.

Bush,
Any feels...

I've got my eye on:
Salsa Rustler
Ibis Mojo/Mojo HD5
Process 134 27.5

I will test some 29's cause I've never rid one. New Englander's, convince me to let go of the small wheel. Is big travel...

^^damn^^
I've been eyeing a rambler..
How was wait times?

I literally picked it out of a dumpster after my coworker threw it out. It’s a fun grocery getter. Fun on trail too

When life gives you lemons….

You bust out the 35 year old bike

This video is mind numbing. Clearly chimps can play baseball. Why is there not a chimp baseball league?

^^^Great Map
1. The south is segregated to this day.
2. Give Texas back to Mexico
3. If we could just convince people to build in the dakotas.

What’s up east coasters.

Here’s a rare shot of the highly elusive trail chicken! Enjoy

I have a similar issue where my shithead neighbor and his crony scum bag maintance man buddy decided to extend the right of way right through my front yard while we were away. Besides berating the...

Shanelle Sherlin was living in limbo last year after she gave up her apartment in Los Angeles and moved to her parents’ house in Vail, Colorado, where she worked remotely at the height of the...

There’s articles floating around explaining that many industries used the pandemic to retool, automate, etc. For many hotels it sounds like room cleaning will be a request, not the norm; housekeeping...

I think we’re talking about the same place. It’s no secret, it’s right off the road. The one on 108 by the covered bridge gets really busy these days.

I think I’ll start a mole/chipmunk farm. Any takers?

It’s out there though. But that’s probably a draw for some. Chucks Bikes is worth the drive alone

House sold for 289 in ‘18 and has 28 “likes” at $450. Pretty nice return and I bet it goes higher.

Morristown is within 20-30 minutes of Stowe and Stowe got real hot this year.

But it’s also...

Just watched our trash company dump both cans in one traditional dump truck.

There’s a lot that goes into sorting. Not all plastic recycles. Dirty containers don’t recycle. Then you have sort by...

I mean this is the big picture in a nutshell no? A huge redistribution of wealth with the small guy getting crushed even more than before

Woof.

Saw a big boy like that on the bike last summer. Well, I was on the bike, not him.

I remember watching them build Michael schumachers vail mansion from across the interstate from my self occupied three bedroom employee housing. The neighbors had a mustang on blocks. Those were the...

Nevermind. I retract my bologna sandwich. Carry on

Why doesn’t a box fan blow itself over?

Because the thrust is less than the physical force required to move the mass of the fan.

In other words, For the fan to be able to knock itself over in...
