Bountiful B is good to go. Also, I’ve been doing some work on the lower half so things are less chossy and rutted than usual.

I was dinking around with a novice friend yesterday. I had fun, but would probably have been boring to ski with yesterday.

Snowbasin was skiing nice this morning. It turned the corner and got a bit too slow for my tastes around noon but a lot...
Thanks, that looks perfect.
Why? For starters, I’m training for a few bikepacking races this summer/fall, so back to back White Rims ought to be a good step in that direction. I’ll do the second lap the other direction to keep...
I was thinking of heading up to Basin tomorrow morning but the lack of refreeze has me thinking maybe somewhere West facing might hold up a little later into the day. Thoughts?
Speaking of Moab camping, I’m planning on doing two back to back White Rim in a days next week.
The plan is to park my van somewhere on/near the route, ride the whole thing in a day, pass out...
I’m currently out of the country til 3/27, so these are currently unavailable til then. Sorry dudes.
My first season in SLC, I skied blind and too fast into that same line and wound up having to air it out over the sharks. Somehow I stuck the landing, and the deeply chopped up runout, and felt...

Nice, haven’t seen all black in a while.
It’s beautiful
I’ve got a local sale pending, but will let you know if it falls through
SOLD
Cleanin’ out the closet
Wildcat 116 184cms. I don’t remember the year on em, maybe 4 years old now?
Mounted once with Attack 13 GWs, on the line for a ~320mm BSL.
Treated with DPS...
Speaking of dickhead target shooters, fuck those guys. I live right below Skyline Drive in Bountiful, which how you access Bountiful B and Parrish Creek trails, and wind up riding up that war zone on...
I have too many skis. Buy these ones please.
Moment Commander Tour 104, 182cm length, 2022 model year. Skis are in good condition with nothing beyond a handful of minor scrapes and scuffs on the...
Proper rant, and props on getting after it. I’ve been scoping a few potential options in my neck of the woods(Bountiful), but this is just the kick in the ass I needed to get to work while the skiing...
Seeking recommendations on where my girlfriend and I can park and access both Nordic and actual fun skiing(touring or alpine)? My gf isn’t skiing downhill anymore but it’d be nice to not have to...
FYI, cane creek is doing 40% site wide, including eewings. $660 is the cheapest I’ve ever seen them.
I’ve got an XTR derailleur that I bought when 12 speed came out and it’s still mint after 3-4k miles, about a million shifts, and more than a few rock strikes. All I’ve done is the occasional clutch...
If you’re running tire inserts, you can likely ride quite a ways back in on a flat. I’ve logged quite a few miles on flats with Tannus Armour, and while it ceases to be fun, it beats the shit out of...
I’ve got family in Arizona and visit almost every winter. There’s definitely some sick rocky technical riding down there, and it’s usually great weather most of the winter.
I’ve got a bike that I previously had professionally fitted and really liked the fit, but I just increased the fork travel by 10mm and now the fit feels a bit off.
For sure I’m going to lower the...
Thanks for the offer but I’m a 43.5/44. I guess I’ll just keep ordering shoes from backcountry and returning them til I find one that fits.
Yep and that was with semi-custom insoles, and multiple attempts at molding the heel. The 242s were particularly cavernous compared to most shoes I’ve tried, like not even close.
I tried the MX 242 and they were way too high volume vertically, and the heel was super loose. They were so sloppy I think I’d actually prefer a smashed forefoot!
Going back to mtb shoes, I’m still searching for shoes that actually fit my flipper shaped feet properly. Wide forefoot(especially at fifth met head) but low volume, low instep, and narrow heel....
I’ve got a Leatt Airfit Lite Tee that I wear on shuttle/emtb/lift served rides. It’s not quite breathable enough for big pedaling efforts, but I also don’t mind wearing it for hours on end.
...
I’ve ramped my on the bike training up to about 20hrs a week, and am starting to experience some pain going into the top of my kneecap on the medial side, especially after 6hr+ rides. I’m going to...
After being very wrong about 29” wheels 20 years ago, I’m withholding judgement on the new wagon wheels for now. I suspect the larger wheels make washboarded dirt roads slightly less heinous, if...
My brother has one of the turbo vados and that bike rips. He put a real fork, dropper, wheels, and tires on it, and uses it for 50/50 around town/light mtb trail usage.
My understanding is the 2024 X2s are subtly different internally, and whatever they changed has legitimately fixed the reliability issues that plagued the previous versions. I know a handful of...
Does anyone make unpadded cycling bibs or liner shorts? I don’t really like or need the chamois pad, but some skin tight lycra with leg grippers would be clutch.
I’ll keep saying it, I’m loving the combo of Vittoria Mazza Trail 2.6(measures 2.5”) front, Mazza Enduro 2.4 rear with Tannus Tubeless inserts.
And agree with the above poster, Martello rear...
I got stung once on each of the three rides I went on this weekend. Must be wasp season.
FYI, the rogue panda feed bags with the bottle cage hidden inside are awesome for carrying bottles. I can’t imagine a bottle ejecting out of one of those.
I had a king cage eject a bottle into my spokes just a few weeks ago. That was fun.
Anyone have a local bike fitter they can vouch for? For a hardtail bikepacking MTB if it makes any difference.
I’ve got a Trance E. I’ve mostly got good things to say about it, except the motor is prone to overheating and shutting off when pushed really hard. A hot day, plus full assist, ripping up a steep...
I seem to remember acetone working well for cleaning up dried Stan’s
Boissal, that looks like my type of fun, what trail is that? Any other super techy nonsense you recommend up there?
Thanks everyone for the east Crest beta.
In return, here’s some stoke from a Solitude-Crest-Beartrap loop this...
What’s the easiest way down off the Crest? I’d like to take my girlfriend up there, but she’s riding pretty timid these days after breaking her arm this spring. I’ve only ever come down via Bear...
I get approximately 10ft of vert per watt hour on my Giant Trance, and saw similar range when I demoed an Orbea Wild. This is climbing fire road, pedaling 150- 200 watts myself, medium assist, and me...
Is PCMR bike lift service worthwhile, or should I just go ride Deer Valley tomorrow?
The 2.6(actually 2.5”)Mazza has been my favorite front tire for a while now. I really want to try the “Mazza Race” which is a soft compound version with a middle of the road casing.
Yep, a combination of bad trailforks beta, and sunk cost fallacy recently sent Ms. megastoke and I down this “trail” on a bikepacking loop. Took around 6 grueling hours to go 10 miles.
...
Whatever you do, don’t go to Snowbasin. The trails up there absolutely blow beyond description.
On the subject of riding on a flat with an insert, for reasons still unknown, my rear tire went flat and wouldn’t hold air this evening, so I got another opportunity to ride 5 miles on a flat with...
I’ve ridden out flat with Tannus Tubeless inserts twice now, and both times I was able to ride several miles without issue. It wasn’t fun, but the inserts kept the tire on the bead, and the insert...
I’m not really worried about breaking the frame by riding too hard, but a rock strike is still way more likely to break carbon than aluminum in my experience. I’m more concerned with impact...
