Exactly my thoughts. If the OP throws in a new XT derailleur I think it's a guaranteed sale.

Guys, there is a perfectly good "queso" thread for pedantically arguing about the pros and cons of your particular chain lube method of choice.

Nice tgapp! I've really enjoyed streamer fishing for the last few years after I made a point to practice it. Are you fishing those on a floating line? If so one thing to try is fishing a type 6 full...

I always struggle with this. Open is meaning twisted as far towards the minus sign as possible?

I completely get it tgapp. It'd be a goddamn shame to see you around here less.

I just tried adjusting my brake levers flatter which I think I like but now my shifter is in a funky place. Is there a part I can order for my XT brakes to increase the range of adjustment range for...

We had one from SportDog that was in the neighborhood of 125 bucks. I can't recall what model or what the range was.

Shock collar man. It might seem cruel but with some good training they are the ticket. It allows you to give instant feedback to the dog when they are screwing up. I wouldn't describe my dog as...

My buddy's two collie/mutts that he uses as sheep dogs seem immeasurably happier than my neighbor's collie that has worn a path inside it's fence from chasing after everyone that walks past.

Bluetooth connections.

And hubs just bought a new mountain bike so treat yo self?

My wife had a sweet ski plane accessed touring trip in AK so in her absence I wound up with a new mountain bike.

Damnit WRG!! One variable at a time!!

Edit: That's assuming you did the new cable at the same time as turning the clutch off. Otherwise I'd say that makes sense.

Norseman here is a newspaper article from the Methow about our winter. Temps were around 0 in the first week of November and a lot of deciduous trees held on to their leaves through the winter. I've...

I've got the Blackburn one too but just saw a Lezyne one at my LBS that is pretty compact looking and wish that'd been available a few years ago.

That's an impressive choke slam from the black floof.

Is that some sort of drop floor instead of ceiling? Or is the floor just painted 3/8 plywood?

Valid point. I'll shut up now.

My wife has a constant inability to put our tools back where she got them from. Somehow I'm the asshole for suggesting that she may have lost one when it takes me a month to figure out where the hell...

I'm assuming you've thought of this but it may be worth taking all of the air out of your shock to verify that your rear wheel isn't going to contact your pump at bottom out.

Please report back on that thing. I'm highly intrigued since I seem to be too hamfisted to bleed my brakes without an occasional mineral oil blowout.

Everything at Sun Mountain is good to go including the Thompson Ridge trail and Buck as well. I'm not sure if you've ridden here since the 2021 fires but Buck is pretty much the same. TRT doesnt have...

What's relacing a wheel tend to cost for labor? Is it about a 2 hour shop task? I just had an unexpected spoke blowout and am curious to see if this continues or not.

I figured you'd appreciate the heads up. I've only been out a few times but it seems like it's early still. Hopefully we get some rain from the upcoming thunderstorms.

It has begun. Year 2 post burn morels here. 459127

Snowpack was close enough to normal through the winter and early spring. The Methow river runoff was pretty impressive last weekend with the 85 degree temps in Winthrop.

www.geometrygeeks.bike let's you compare geometry of different bikes but as far as I know you can't configure it to offer recommendations.

I know this is a ways north of you but today I took a drive up to WA pass this morning and was surprised how thin things looked. BDay tour looked like it goes but there was a ton of chunder in Spire...

Well said Danno.

It's those kids and their damn avocado toast. That's why they can't buy houses!!

Dude! You're supposed to hold the fish towards the camera to make it look larger rather than put it behind you! Nice looking fishes. The last one looks a bit funny for a trout but must have pulled...

Steelhead is very frequently farmed and much more rarely caught in the wild. In the PNW it's pretty common to see "Columbia River Steelhead"which is farmed on the Columbia in Rufus Woods reservoir...

I just got a small frame bag from Evoc and I can get a couple CO2s, tool, irons, tubolito and a clump of gauze and some vet wrap in there. The color looks like cat barf but at least I saved 15 bucks?...

Maisie is shredding! And with 2(or 1?) new knees. My pup is still coming back from her double CCL and is probably back to 80-85% and isn't quite ready for skiing yet.

^JFC!! I listened to that podcast episode and given his lack of injuries I did not anticipate that violent of a fall! He's a lucky dude and I'm impressed with his willingness to share that experience.

At least for vehicles the feds are self insured. I wonder if that's the case for buildings as well? It sometimes feels like the most risky thing you can do with an old building is renovate it and...

Scotty post this stuff to the big thread I just bumped. There is a lot of cool shroom knowledge in that one and I'd hate to have that get lost.

Puff balls are showing, I guess I gotta get out to some of last year's hot morel spots to see if there is a second year flush or not.

Thanks for keeping this thread going!! I'm sure I'll never eat a hundredth of the types of food you've talked about nor ride a mountain bike around Singapore but it's been damn cool following your...

Someone that works for the county had the bright idea to buy a white dump truck that is used as a plow truck in the winter. That fucker is near invisible coming towards you in a heavy snowstorm when...

Tell them to pound sand and put the damn tires back on. It's BS that they "accidently" pulled the winters off and didn't put them back.

That said 6/32 seems pretty worn out but thats your call to...

I didn't recognize the name Victoria Silvstedt but goddamn do I have fond memories of Inga.

If humanity's only hope of survival is to leave the earth then we all deserve to die.

Which really trickled down to supersonic air travel for the masses.....

I'm glad to hear from you ASF. You've always been a super positive person on TGR and I'm happy to hear you are on the road to repair. Best wishes in the healing process.

I bought this a year or two ago, never used it and just switched to a 29er. Someone has gotta have a use for a 44 gram spare tube.

Price is shipped.

That may be the most perfect thing you've ever written.

FUCK YOU NO I'M NOT!!

I just got Boissal's old 2020 Orbea Occam! I've still got some tinkering to do with the suspension setup and the bars but I'm and friggen pumped! It's a nice upgrade from a 2014 Banshee Spitfire.

I had to drive 3 hours round trip to my main office for a mandatory 90 minute active shooter training that consisted of videos from the early 2000s and the fat ex cop instructor telling us all about...
