Xxx, you're overthinking this I think. SRAM is more of a pia to bleed imo vs Shimano. But at the end of the day it isn't rocket science and it's one of the simpler things to do on your bike.

I've stepped it back because I know my limits as I age. My concern is more about my kids than me. They're 20something boys and they push the envelope at times. I've schooled them to best of my...

I pretty much only do partial bleeds and my brakes work flawlessly.

The one that works. [emoji16]

The reputable guys. Certain channels are dialed. Park Tool for one

But it's your government. Get involved and make change? ...yeah, I know the answer.

So many microclimates around here. We've been wet and his area drains so well. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240415/88c7cd445339b541fb1d9876df6b2766.jpg

Schauffele was rock solid yesterday. It'll be interesting if he can make a run up the leaderboard today.
Scottie is just so dialed I'm not sure anyone can beat him. His 2nd into 18 for the finish...

Yeah, idk. I go back n forth with the death penalty. They didn't kill anyone directly or indirectly (suicide?) that I'm aware of. The big pharma fucks, especially those that wrote the Fed policy and...

Well your situation sucks. Teachers should be tax exempt imo, but I'm biased. Yeah, but you made a lot of money. Maybe a bunch on paper, so you'll have to dip into the piggy bank. I did too, but I...

Yeah, it's not fun, but it's also poor planning and/or not understanding your finances. Hire a CPA and set up quarterlies. If you still owe big then you had a phat year. Yeah, making a shit ton on...

You're a consistent tool, so you got that going for ya.

Inexact science and doing a triple has a lot of variables thrown in.

When a pro avi guide dies in an avalanche do you say the same...

Yeah, good point Toast. There is certainly a point of no return. Could have hit some highly saturated snow at a transition point.

Whining about paying taxes on money you made? So fucking dumb.

It definitely should be a more punishable offense. Death is definitely a bit extreme.

You'd have to assume he thought the speed was enough or he would have bailed before sending. It's an incredibly hard thing to calculate from my perspective. I know I suck at it just from my first...

Yeah, having ragdolled down faces and stomped a couple I know the feeling. Although, I limited my risk to a certain degree, especially with air involved. Skis on the ground I took more risk I suppose...

That's just vision with 100% confidence in your ability.

My years in Jackson were spent skiing with many of the kooks in the first tgr flick and everyone was doing it for themselves. No cameras...

Thanks.

I feel the majority of risk taken is inherent and done for selfish personal reasons to achieve an endorphin rush. Not for the outside world or anyone else. Not to say that once you've...

Vietnam takes fraud quite seriously. Amazing what this woman was able to accomplish illegally. Trump will probably praise her.
...

Yeah, I don't watch LIV. I can't get into the format or all stat shit on the screen. I'm just annoyed that the best players are not all on the same track weekly. Thankfully events like the Masters...

^thinking the same thing. Do you even want to be leading day 1? Such a whacky thought. Play your ass off, in the lead, and then say, f-me!...this is most likely not sustainable!

Yes, that was a difficult read.

Not sure I'd even respond to an inquiry from a reporter so soon.

This just sucks. Sorry for all his friends, family, and the WP community.

Yeah. Creaks!!

Last one I could not figure out was the hanger. So freaking random when it creaked, but all the time. Shop kid figured that one out for me. Maddening...but it was a learning...

Jeezus. Horrible. RIP

Ah, I've only used 2oz without issues. Must be why I'm sooo fast [emoji12] Actually, the Reserve wheels seal so well that I've inflated without Stans. I always add it in before riding though as...

I had greased the axle and it actually crossed my mind that maybe I had got some onto the threads inadvertently. There was no sign of grease on the threads when I got it removed. LBS did note that my...

Right onYes. Well, I think it's a 2oz bottle that typically does the trick. Too much is just slightly more weight, so not an issue really.

"For the 1990-1991 season, the state spent $2.5 million on improvements at Cannon, including installing the Cannonball quad chairlift and expanding snowmaking capacity. An unfortunate consequence of...

Torque wrench. Do you back out to lowest setting to save the spring? And does it even matter...depends on the spring, right? What do shop guys do? And do they ever test their torque wrenches?
...

I wish I hadn't clicked on this thread.

That pos will get what's coming to him eventually.

WY is such a fucked up place. I cannot imagine being raised in that environment. Difficult to...

^looks like a great bike back in the day

Doh! Yeah it is. I guess I've never seen that many poach lines!

No rope...hmmm. Classic Cannon...just don't hit the snow making pipe! And peering in...did you go? It was probably good out there.

Rim tape. Yeah, add that to the list of pia shit that should be gone from all wheels still needing it.

Cool. But you realize you are a wee bit crazy?
Trying to understand 2x. Because the granny gear? Get a smaller 1x, like a 32 or something?

My last 2x was a '14 or '15 Fatbike. Good riddance 2x!

Did anyone ever run a dropper with a 2x? Bit of a cluster at the bar if so.

75 might be the biggest reason to go with a dropper!

I like the tire tech, 1x, droppers, ergo grips, carbon wheels, geo, and pretty much everything on new bikes even when it fails. The fact I...

^^No, my bigger torque wrench doesn't go that light.

I think I need to blue loctite it. And occasionally check it. Funny, but never had an issue with quick release style thru axles. They had that...

The axle unthreaded during the ride. I had just put the new triangle on and torqued the axle to the spec...which seemed light to me...and apparently it was. There was some foreshadowing as my...

Axle torque specs can f off!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240408/3ba2658c8a57127d86c4d7dd463db7a8.jpg...

Shimano? If so, thread the bleed cup on with some fluid and just pump a few times. See if any air bubbles come to the surface. It's quick and easy and may be the only issue.

Nice, good luck with this venture.

And I have to say...ski and snowboard designs must be added, right? Maybe skate, surf, MTN bike, motox. Add it all. Retro 70's style color/stripes and sixties...

So Ott, how do you feel about Vail? [emoji23]

Shimano brakes are easier to bleed than SRAM. And I prefer their engagement, but that just a personal thing. Maybe I'll like the Maven...is that the name of the new one?
Sram dropper sucked forever,...

Might be hearing about this kid in the future.
