In, also support Tgap and IAS for whatever happens.

On my third season on two sets of Onyx classics now. One set on my handrail, the other was on a 138mm bike, now on a 163mm bike. They’ve been totally bomber and the silence is sublime, so is the...

These guys have my parts outclassed by a country mile. Glad you’re sorted Benneke.

Yeah kinda figured, good to know for sure though. Thanks!

Interesting, thought Cherry was off limits to bikes.



So gentleman, I’ve been a bit intrigued by Cherry Creek but never been on it. Do y’all think it would make a decent descent? Even doable?

Gotcha. Can’t recall wick one I used but yeah, it worked great.

Is this the green stuff?

I used that on a bearing pocket that was put off spec on an old bike. The bearing would slide freely laterally, the green stuff worked like a charm.

Quality rant! I’m inclined to agree.

Thats a nice list!

I’ve done Santaquin peak with Springsproject. It was awesome, I’d do it again. That said, most of the climb once you get above the valley trails is hike a bike. Not bike carry...

Robik I'msure you’ve seen this?

Sounds like you got a new Tilt? Congrats, loved mine!

Got a lower end Shimano crankset in the bin, either 170 or 175. Also lower end cassette I think. Also got some wheels, not light though, Giant PR-something. Very low miles on any of it, none on the...

Yeah we are. There’s not a ton immediately local but there is within an hour radius by train. That Reintalalp ride is off the back of one of the Andermatt areas, like 20 minutes for us, Airolo 30....

It’s really nice, and also really expensive. We’re not located totally ideally for the best variety of biking but pretty good strike radius by train. We have our apartment for free for a month so...

I’m in sure he’s talking about selling a used one. Retailers have to move inventory, period.

No way I’d sell a used one right now. You’re gonna take a big hit now or later regardless, might as...

We’re here! Here’s a quick summary of our first four days after catching up on sleep.

Thanks for the tip, just inspected again and it’s just bent. A first for me with these pedals but only been on them for a couple years. Never meant the old round bar ones in 20ish years though.

The day before I leave for a month of mountain biking in Switzerland, and a weekend. Thankfully have another set on the the hardtail. I like these pedals a lot but the old round bar Times were...

Damn that sucks if true. Don’t own their bikes but like them, and their general vibe.

Rideit, forgot to say, sorry you're having a tough year. This too shall pass. Your buddy that got hit though, holy shit, terrible. Still could be worse, super glad he apparently doesn't have a...

I'm no expert and youtube is basically what I was gonna recommend. Prolly would have gone 30 min intervals myself but seems like you're on the right track.

The valve core? Those a dime a dozen and come with many repair kits.

Damn, awesome job Jamal!

Disappointing they didn’t even have a medal for you for the podium, and a check! Never experienced that in a paid race before.

Electronics too, and pretty much everything. The electronics though, you can literally brick your car if you're not careful. Still safe to use but you wanna kinda know what you're doing to use it...

Hey just what ya see pal.

Straight diesel should get that out. If it's still bad, add fire.

It'll be sweet either way for sure. Croatia is awesome and real affordable. We were there in Sept too, not too hot but still warm enough to enjoy a swim. The weather was mostly nice but we did get...

Sicky! Congrats to Mrs. Snowaddict! I just built up a new Tilt for the Lady myself, she loves it!

Also upgraded myself from the Tilt to the Lithium. Holy shitballs. The Tilt is one awesome...

Damn that's genius!

I like these pant a lot though the fit is a bit weird. I upsized due to length and the new ones are baggier than I'd like in the hip/thigh and still tighter than I'd like in the calf. Seems to be a...

Hmmm mine just slipped in by hand, maybe my eyelet bushings were worn out and that was my problem.

Maybe I should just pipe down in the "experts" thread, hahaha.

I have next to no experience with bikepacking and none with "gravel" so take this for what it's worth.

I did a bit of bikepacking in Croatia last year. We were on our Canfield Nimble Nine...

Oops yeah I misspoke. You would want to run it the direction shown at the lower mount. But compression and rotational forces would tend to push it the other way.

Those felt awesome in the garage but destroyed my arms. Went to regular chunky and then to their "Racers Edge" or Wolf Tooth Razers, both 30mm stated/31mm measured for me. Way better.

Also on...

Yes but for your application you'd want to run it in the opposite direction or as shown, for more clearance from the seat stay brace to the seat tube.

Running it in the normal/short/down position...

Yeah what Andeh says makes sense. So on your bike you could potentially run an offset bushing in the "long" orientation at the lower shock mount if you check it for rotation regularly. When I tried...

Don't know which orientation you'd want to run the offset bushings but know this: They can only be run one way, with the offset toward the compression direction, resulting in the bike sitting lower....

Damn looks like Lael hit a wall and really slowed down, still about 15 miles out. She was in 3rd just behind the two leaders for the first two or three days, incredible. Maybe pushed a bit too...

Lachlan. doesn't appear as a finisher, I read there was a timing chip issue but one source he was in the top ten.

Ooof!

To me all that says the cups aren't straight in the frame. Whether they're not seated properly or the frame's not faced properly or just misaligned wold take some more investigation.

Porter Rockell Jacob Hamblin??? Named after Brigham Young's enforcer. JFC if that ain't the most Utah thing ever.

Gotta say this is very on-brand for Utah. FFS :nonono2:

I didn't think the Ti ones were actually available yet? I've only seen a few examples of failure of the alloy ones across the interwebs.

I prefer the aesthetics of the eeWings if I was gonna go...

"blah blah blah" huh? Pick a wheel characteristic and be a dick about it? This ain't MTBR and I'm not gonna argue about it. I don't have the data and I'm not gonna go looking for it. For all I...

No first hand experience but that seems too light for a general trail wheelset to me. Sounds like the spokes are too thin at best.

I just upgraded, they mount the same. I use the same knock off K Sport stem top cap mount.

I don’t understand how we haven’t won this yet. :confused:

:biggrin:

This seems self evident to me too.
