Leaning chromag. I have radars in my sons bike and they seem well built. Thinking Dagga is the call but also scarab curious.

Deity will give me 50%off a set of crash replacements so probably...

Riding is pedal access steep tech (Seattle i90) with the occasional lift day. Weight is a secondary concern. I’m a cheap bastard so cost is a factor but durability is more important. I like the idea...

Bumping this because I broke a Deftrap today on a random rock strike. I just put the Deftraps on this year and I really like the feel over the one up composites I have been running but cracking a...

Broke a plastic flat pedal in half today, maybe I should go aluminum. Go to not stupid price pedals for big (size 13) feet?

We camped at larabee in a trailer and the trains were not too bad. Ranger creek can get rowdy, we often go to the horse camp area instead of the airstrip for a smaller crowd.

Damn lots of skis and ski days here. Mine is
Line blade for kid skiing
Bonafide 97s for hard snow
Super goat for the 1 soft day
Goliaths for rock days
HL105s for the middle ground that I picked...

Interested to hear answers on this as well. What’s your definition of kid friendly?
Larabee was perfect for a toddler who napped since the nap and a double down lap took the same time.

Will these have the same stiffer tips like the fl105s or a more typical tail stiffer than tip flex pattern?

I bit the price increase for weekend alpental since my son is excited about it and i get to ski then. Friday nights might be a good future option when his bedtime is a bit later.
Planning to head...

Wow those are cheap. Does my summer internship 18 year ago qualify me?

I don’t need skis but happy to help out in Seattle as well. We are near children’s if that’s where you son is going and you need anything.

Looks like 2 hours in the morning and 2 in the afternoon instead of 2.5 and 2 so not a huge change.

Alpy lessons are now $1400 per session. That’s fucking expensive

Probably going to do oak in the kitchen at this point if it doesn’t totally blow the budget.
Lvp stone pattern sounds like the right call for the basement bathroom. And possibly the upstairs one...

Thanks we’ll check out cfm.

Who makes vinyl flooring that doesn’t look like cheap garbage? We went to the floor store (floors and decor)today and it all looked like a crappy I picture of wood. Looking at refacing our kitchen...

Almost $1400 for me and my kid hurts but it’s still better than sitting in gold bar at traffic lights for 2 hours on the way home. The price increase sucks but at least they are investing in the...

Pearl Izumi xalp summits are worth checking out. I have a set and they seem solid if a bit flexy but I find anything without a carbon sole a bit flexy. Wider fit in the toe box and boa with a decent...

Where are you?

I did a frame swap when I broke my cargo e-bike frame and it took a lot longer than a normal build so I’m not surprising at that price.

In Oregon but we got married at cooper spur outside of hood river.

They have us by the adrenal glands. Going epic and Stevens sounds good until I factor in the extra 2 hours+ round trip. I guess I better just spend that time working towards a raise.

Looks like there is an ikon add on to the unlimited pass which is not crazy priced.

No Wednesday nights at alpental is a huge bummer, that has been a chunk of my days the past few winters. Might need to evaluate the pass plan and consider moving to Stevens plus a lower level pass...

Anyone hitting the padded seats tomorrow?

The answer is the euros but you will pay in maintenance. A 2nd gen q7 can tow 7700lbs as can a cayenne. The x5/7 and benzs are similar.
We towed an escape 21 (fiberglass about 4000lbs empty) with a...

That’s what I’m worried about. I had a solid crash trying to run a rock razor rear and not having any braking traction that has scared me into running knobby rear tires. The butcher t9 is slow but I...

Who’s running an eliminator or xynotal rear on a big bike in steeps? I have a Mary front butcher rear on now and it’s slow so thinking of a faster rear. Will I regret this when I drop into a steep...

I have a 2016 pilot and tent trailer, it’s fine but only gets ok gas mileage. I used to have a q7 tdi and a fiberglass trailer, that thing towed like a boss. I wouldn’t tow a hardside over mountains...

That would be fun for $1000 but $12k is gtfo.

I totally feel you and am in a similar place. Everything is ok but nothing is what I want it to be. Lots of obvious things to improve for me (mostly on the job front)
It’s the striver disease and...

First book is pretty good and a fun read. The second starts out slow weird and depressing but redeems itself at the very end, not sure if I can recommend. It was not helpful for my mental state...

I’ll give this a shot one night this week. I use the sharpie method for any bevel change and it is helpful but wasn’t sure how to up the angle, turning the guide will be easier than printing a spacer.

How much does the cuff circumference change per boot size? I’m in a 28.5 hawx ultra and with the cuff was a bit tighter so wondering how much tighter a 27.5 would be.

Most induction ranges need 40-50a at 250v same as a normal electric range.

Not sure if I trust myself freehand, I might try to print a bevel tool or spacer.

How far back did everyone bring their tip detune on these? I’’m working through my tube and have my bevels sorted but still having a bit of grabbiness in the tip at slower speeds on firm. Did a bit...

Last night ski of the season yesterday, central was super crowded. We found some nice snow sneaking over to wild side. All of the fresh snow in the open had a solid sun effect on it that’s going to...

My 7yo really wants to go back to Whistler and had the trail map up last night talking about all the places he wants to ski (winning!) so that seals the deal.
We have stayed at the aspens the past...

Mine just got mailed today, can report back when I have a timeline

Whistler edge card is 350usd for 5 days and they have a free one for the kid (epic school kids) plus a 700 snoqualmie unlimited pass vs 1100 for an ikon pass plus 600 for a lmt snoqualmie pass or 400...

Sun peaks is on the radar for sure, sounds like super kid friendly skiing but how is it for some dad ripper laps? I need to run the numbers but I think it probably comes out more expensive than WB...

Bumping as I start to plan for next year February break. We did Whistler this year and that’s the default again due to terrain, driving distance, cost (edge card+free kids pass) and village...

C&Ds look awesome for untracked would love to try a set in the right conditions. The supergoats can sink when it gets super deep but make up for it by erasing all tracks in their path.

Why not keep using the pivots at +1?

I have a heel spur from overflexing my ultras that Greg punched. The boot feels stiff enough off the top but collapses at some point in the flex. I don’t know if that can be fixed without making it...

Specialized 2fo shoes are on sale for $50. More durable than 510s with similar grip.

Ended up in Kendall trees with my friend today instead of the lift. Top few hundred feet was a foot a great pow. Bottom was dust on crunchy crust.

I’m very happy with by Hayes dominions lots of power with light lever feel. Last bike had code r which were adequate but not more, went to 220 front rotor and mtx gold pads for power but still was in...

Who’s heading up tomorrow? Planning to test out my new fl105s and it would be great to have some partners to head out Nash gate. Last time I saw a group I forgot my pennys
