Fit pretty much the same as my Spec swat cargo bibs so far in my experience. Do think the specialized ones have a slightly larger pads.

I'd look for an older Raleigh XXIX or Kona Unit for this purpose personally. Usually aren't ridiculously overprice that I've seen, often 2-300.

Wheelie bikes could be decent for the parts other...

Fast group, rocky, hilly 3 hr ride on Saturday and then recovery for me, but my 9 y/o and friends longest trail ride yet. 8+ miles, 1k elevation of some new XC flowy singletrack on Sunday.

Local ~17 year old ripper who lives a few miles from me just won Burke EWS100 U21. He and his brother have been chipping away last few years at our local KOMs, about a year ago he nailed my chances...

Ounce of prevention and all that. May come at this from different angle, but skills work is crucial to making those moves and saves that prevent the injury to begin with. Proper cornering and...

This guy Phillies w that Jawn. Not a native took me years to accept it, though still don't use it myself.

Picked up a few bars, misc tools, tire and a few of the nukeproof carbon bars to play with fit a bit from the CRC sale they had running. The best so far are the <$40 Nukeproof MTB pocket bibs, which...

Congrats on upcoming new bike build. Have fun with the new ride, that skills area down off Lincoln Drive (?) was pretty fun last time I rode there. Cresheim area is my favorite of the Wiss though....

Just bought a saint axle off eBay, will give that a go alongside chain tugs. Hopefully solves the issue, frustrating

Shoulda taken some and is late, but the Hadley non drive side has a notch that fits in the horizontal drop. Same is on the drive and non drive of bmx tugs, which overlap. So tugs won’t work w my...

Ah shoulda added that they conflict w my Hadley axle, as they’re too wide so don’t have enough threads and also take same slot in horizontal drop.

So horizontal drop outs (DJ) are dumb. I have a Hadley bolt on axle but it keeps slipping. This is on a DT-Swiss 350, 135x10mm thru axle.

Wondering if a DT-Swiss RWS or other axle will be more...

Duffman bit of a trip from you, but Leed’s Cyclery is a big Ibis dealer and may have some in stock. Small shop and friend of a friend owns it. Good luck and enjoy, can’t go too wrong w either size...

I ran them further back when racing XC after suffering some pretty bad calf cramps one season. Ridden that way since, also left them for CX and gravel riding as a result. My road shoes tend to be...

It's possible, but I live in Downingtown right next to Marsh Creek, so don't get to the Wiss too often. Depending your riding crew, I imagine we could pretty easily connect some dots on...

^^ I generally agree with toast, but being local to your area I think size Large Ripley would be best. Guessing based on location you're locals are Wiss, Belmont or similar? I'm N/W of Philly and...

Thanks Jamal! Easy on off while...

Nice, was really tempted by one, but couldn’t find the new kineticore to try on. Any chance you could take a pic of how sunglasses are stowed?

Ugh, bummer about your GF Whiterroom!!

Rode 30 miles on gravel bike this afternoon and then this tonight, so I’m well ahead of schedule thankfully!!

Hate to tell you, but in my experience Bacon is superior to Dart tool. Couple friends in agreement with me. Sometimes they work together though and Stans may have updated the dart tip stiffness a...

Mix and matching spare mtb parts with DJ parts w/o more research got me.

Ordered a freewheel and 4 notch tool to match. Arrive and realize my silly hub is a 6 notch singlespeed cassette, so now...

Maybe just my area and perhaps my east coast rocks are smoother, but pedaling around DD tires to save a flat seems to be not worth the squeeze. Normally ride 4-5x per week most of the year on EXO or...

Went to a shop last weekend, brought glasses and tried on 8+ helmets from various manufacturers; Fox, TLD, Leatt not one even attempted to have glass storage. Will...

Wow that thing looks crazy slack just sitting there in the picture. Sea Foam green looks better in your pic than the site too. Enjoy and the big meaty tires are great on the modern HT, despite the...

Ugh bummer Roxtar, but good to hear you’re back on the bike.

Couldn’t resist and took a few super easy pump track laps today. Daughter told me she’d tell mom/wife if any tires left the ground. ...

Use the stans injector myself, but in a pinch the 2 oz stans or similar squirt bottle also work great for injecting new sealant through the valve.

I got 14 years out of my T2, but rust finally won. Replaced both arms and ratchets over the years, mostly living outside. I did back it into a tree and bent the tray bracket a bit, actually made it...

Enjoyed Hustle more than I thought.

Real surprise was CHIPS, it was horrible, but also pretty funny. Maybe caught my wife and I in the right mood for it, but it exceeded my very low expectations.

Not sure Shimano make a 12 spd HH cassette, but SRAM has a lower end one. Have used it for a backup wheelset plenty.

Skywalker series, Minecraft dungeons, Animal Crossing (mostly my daughter), MarioKart are most played in my house by 11 y/o boy and 9 y/o girl. Neither kid can beat me yet, though I don't play those...

Buddy of mine rides/races XC on them, but he’s pretty gentle with his bikes. Definitely curious but not worth the $$$ for me.

I don't think you're crazy to go Medium at 5'10", especially if you have a high ape index. My size Large 2020 stumpy has a 445 reach which is pretty short by today's standards. Giant Trance of same...

That flow trail we rode last June together wasn’t too bad and seemed pretty new. Guessing they’ve expanded on that? Plenty of other natural trail in your area still thankfully! Definitely agree on...

Well when you’re riding a dumb giant fucking deer it’s almost always actually the horse riders fault for bringing a giant dumb animal on the trail, but you’re right that you’d get the blame.

Shades of old Sky and US Postal teams with Jumbo's tempo setting yesterday, was great seeing Sepp crushing the last . Glad I picked up Pidcock mostly just b/c of his MTB prowess.

Another route is email to his university honor code reporting system (if they have one). Some schools take that stuff pretty seriously.
