Meanwhile I'm putting front brake on my dirt jumper b/c 40+ = no bar spins. Unless you're doing barspins I don't get the brakeless movement and even then there are options. Not MTBR, but I posted a...

Quickie before dinner, usual loop out my back door was sloppy. Took HT out for a gravel spin w some hill intervals, but still have to add some spice to those rides.

Was it my influential argument from few weeks ago on the Varia and taking the lane? ;).

Cathro's is top notch. Fluidride has a good series going last few years as well.

Jeff Lenosky and Super Rider also have good ones, coming from trials backgrounds. Wouldn't put them up there with...

Also about 75% of my FB use as well. The other being for local trail groups, which ends up mostly being idiots asking whether it's too wet to ride after 3" of rain in the preceding 12 hours.

Yeah gotta get the brake bosses off, pretty stuck in there. This was dry fit before cutting steerer. Match was primed for this as it sat on a bike I’ve had from high school that was ridden every...

Not w/ the 150mm fork and a size Large IMO. 68* for 120mm fork, so likely more around 66.5* at 150. Not sure what bike park you're talking about, if truly DH lift served then that may not be ideal....

My Wed night worlds have changed a bit lately, less beer more waterfall stops. 4 mini rippers <10. Lots of trackstands for the dads.

and 0g those trails look phenomenal!

Figure that's the case re different hub entirely. Have an old take-off Specialized Circus Comp w/ 15mm thru now. Kicked around an upgrade for me and pass this onto kids bike. Debating whether an X...

Plus Non-boost, Boost, Super Boost and DH 150-something standards... WTF.

Again from an XC background I'm a fan of 15mm b/c I don't need to bolt the axle on, wish they didn't do the 12mm thru for...

I'm pretty sure the answer is NO, but can anyone confirm if DT Swiss 350 non-boost 15x100 can be converted to 20x110 (also not boost?!) for a possible DJ fork swap/upgrade? Uncharted territory for...

Dakine makes a curved one specifically for it and others like it. Have used mine extensively over past year with multiple bikes pretty frequently

Would throw new Rocky Element on that list as well, if you can find one.

Have chatted w/ buddies about how fucking amazing it would be to have Immigrant Song released when you were like 16/17. Closest for me was Nirvana or Pearl Jam.

Worked in IT helpdesk for a consulting/software dev company as an intern in my teens, so we definitely had early internet access. Lots of the above, but we also found quite a bit of blatant porn use...

Too much rain to ride, may as well make our hike productive.
