I'm not sure where you are getting reading to generate such dire comparisons, but let's start with this HIV/AIDS comparison. It is again a TERRIBLE analogy.

Thanks hms & plug

My Roost Wheelsi31AM 29er w DT240 54T microspline just arrived. 1630g measured!!!

Super stoked to ride them when I'm healed.

There are not that many MSM and there is minimal vaccine deployment. Vaccine deployment is being stepped up for the high risk community in the US. There is no reason for this to be a pandemic

Yes totally love the Fooses + Greens... or double Greens

Interesting. I was hoping Assegai was faster because it has modern ramped knobs and fewer intermediate knobs

The other day Clear had a line just as long as Prechek at DEN :(

RIO on sale. Exchanged some FLNG for it.

Having dumped NVDA and COIN at the right time, I can now throw small change at BITI, BTC Short ETF

I just want an any-kind-of-version to put on my new oval :D

Kinda wishing I went for OneUp's Switch instead of the blingy Absolute Black direct mount.

Finding a shop with a Shimano direct mount chain ring tool is more of a challenge than I thought... 0/4

I bet it hold around 10K for a bit... coin.

The weight difference between 100 and 70 is small and it is mostly about whether you want to have the extra internal storage plug/pliers or a CO2 (remember the valve on the OneUp pump doubles as a...

My condolences Cono :(

I've seen dedicated desert riders with custom storage bags/reservoirs for their front triangle that held gallons.

Only need one!

It takes 5 seconds and no tools to move the stem mounted EDC from bike to bike. It is literally pull out of one stem shove in the other.

The pump ought to be only a few seconds...

Absolutely worth it (although I put my Oneup EDC + pliers/plug in the stem) and many of my friends are now OneUp too. I bought the tap and have tapped 3 of my bikes and several friends. It's easy.

I bet China bails them out. Scary.

Great post Mofro.

I think the issue for most people is that they won't get in for a PCR and get results for 1-3 days so doing two antigens in that time period is both cheaper, more timely, and...
