Yup.

Related, is there a best time to buy Nokians? The Hakkapeliitta LT3 is one of the few snow tires that comes in the right size for my truck. I've always just run studded Duratracs before but thinking...

Yep, that one ain't no mall crawler.

Are you gonna put a sled deck on it, simple?

I have absolutely zero interest in baseball, or in riding my motorcycle extremely long distances, yet this is a fantastic trip report. Keep it coming!

Why not just get a 4 bike hitch rack? Then you can put as much shit on the roof as you want.

She should be proud of the legacy she erected.

Well I met the builder for a house that I'm looking at buying and the conversation went something like this:

"So did you have any engineering done on the roof structure, or design to a particular...

Not where I am, no building codes so we don't do engineers or inspectors. All the contractors just wing it.

It is, but all my ER nurse/doc friends strongly advise the use of a recovery rope

You're gonna die.

He uses Stans as anal lube

I swear sometimes I feel like I'm the only person that knows that property records are publicly available online?

150 W Colorado (Telluride Sports Main St) is owned by an LLC that appears to be...

No harm in adding more sealant when boogers are rattling around in there, especially if you're going to replace the tire soon anyway. Done it many times, never died.

I actually think the 2oz...

My favorite is the tape job where they did all but one seam.

I just sold a house in Denver two houses down from a sex offender and given what I made on the house I am quite certain that the sex offender had absolutely no impact on the value.

But also they were the first shape to nail the primo balance of RES sidecut primeness with primo primeological flex. Better in pow than some successive iterations, imo. Fast, floaty, and prime. U buy

I remember a lot of people bagging on LVP on here recently but I actually like it a lot. It's durable, easy to clean, easy to maintain, easy to install, feels nice underfoot, and easy to replace if...

High pressure (like 2000-3000psi) nitrogen bottles are easy to find and cheap at welding/industrial gas supply stores.

20% reduction seems to be pretty typical of most newer EVs. That's about what I was seeing in my Bolt at highway speeds, near zero temps, snow tires, nothing on the roof.

I believe that the first step is a lot of drugs.

Fantastic singletrack in southwestern CO that hadn't seen a tire in weeks before mine.

When you get run over by a GOTOS rig you end up undra.

Agree that a Martello rolls faster than an HR2. Probably has more grip too. If nothing else, you could just swap the rear.

Staying within Maxxis - Dissector front, Aggressor rear?

The thing I dislike about PHEVs is that you don't get the no maintenance benefits of a full EV. In some ways it's the best of both worlds, but in other ways it's the worst of both.

We're in the...

This. ICE vehicles still have their place, but EVs are massively better at the daily driving that most people do the other 355 days of the year that they're not doing road tripping vacations loaded...

Uhhh, I forgot to mention a lack of talent.

If I wanted to replace a 2.3 DHR2 DD MaxxTerra with something around the same weight, equal or better resistance to flats, equal or better traction (especially braking), and longer lasting (only got...

Flowers. Mountains. Giggity.

That section is so fkn fun.



Yeah it got the full IMBA flow trail treatment. Fun, but not at all technical.

Thanks, I will give it a try. The fork does not feel too soft though - I do use all the travel, but never feel like it's diving, or packing out, or bottoming out hard, etc. Still, I'll try the...

Here's what that site says:

(I did say 2020 originally but I was off a year. Bike is 2021 so I assume the fork is too)

For setup, I'm running what Norco recommends, which appears to...

Great question, RockShox nomenclature is confusing. It's a 2021 fork and I think it's a DebonAir spring and Charger 2.1 RC damper. It appears that the current model Pike is updated but no idea if the...

Unable to hold a line through chunk. Getting bounced off in a direction other than that which I intend to go. I'm too dumb to identify more specifically why.

Interesting, the linkage stress must be somewhat specific to the Spire? I haven't heard of issues with the Patrol, nor have I had issues with mine.

The Cascade linkage seems like it'd be a smart...

SKI OFF!!!!

You forgot about Saguache.

OK I'm going to piggyback off this thread.

My Optic came with a 2020 Pike Select+ RC (140mm, 29", 42mm offset). Overall I think it rides fine, but I do feel like the front of the bike is the...

I don't think I've ever seen a band I like with an ABQ show. Definitely NEVER a Boulder show. Denver has lots of punk/metal shows though and Boulder is closer to Denver so I guess I have to give...

I fully agree that range while off-roading, etc. needs to improve... but how often are you all actually driving 75 - 100mi exclusively off-road?
I drive off-road quite a bit but it's rarely more...

I'd hit up MRP on that one... my Patrol is more linear than that so a progressive spring was a no brainer.

Lake City has "city" in the name so they must be a real city.

Well, how about an interconnect gondola then?

Nonononono. Salida is perfect. Definitely do NOT come any further south or west. All we have is cows and meth. Salida is where it's at.

Check your frame. Transition had a bad run of frames with misaligned shock mounts that eat shocks. Neither the X2 or DHX2 are known for consuming themselves as far as I know.

For a more budget...

You even have a enduro fender on it, how's your quiver of flatbrims looking?
