I'm all set, thanks though.

Just snagged a set of Chipotle Blades and looking for a decent demo binding to put on them. Preference would be for the Strive 13 GW demo binding, but let me know what you got.

I'm in Reno and will be unloading my 190cm Wildcat 108s mounted with Warden 13s soon. Only reason I'm selling is because I have too many skis in the 10X range, including the Wildcat 101 and Meridian....

Did you get the shims from B&D? Also, what size screws did you go with?

Is anyone running a GFT in both their touring and alpine boots? How well does it work?

My partner has Scarpa F1s and a Technica Inferno 90 alpine boot and it would be great to get one liner that...

I'm also looking for 90 or 100 Warden/STH2 brake. I have a set of 115 brakes I can trade.

I also have a spare set of 115 brakes for Warden/STH2 that I can sell if anyone needs them.

This is tempting, as my understanding is that the Fastforward was based on the old, narrower Masterblaster.

Anyone have time on the Fastforward?

I plan on using this as my low tide ski, so primarily skiing groomers and bump runs (more early season or late season) with perhaps a bit of trees if the...

Does this fit closer to other brand's mediums? Was checking out the size chart on Norrona's website and saw that this is a "Technical Fit", which seemed a bit smaller than normal.

On the topic of footbeds, anyone have opinions on the Heel Loc ones from Olympic Bootworks?

+1

It also snowed 3 feet at Rose in the past 3 days. I was out there yesterday afternoon and there were still some good stashes to be found.

A strip of gorilla tape along the inside spine of your boot, plus a spritz of silicone spray, is all you need. Also saves you from needing to remember one more thing to bring.

I'll be up there, also planning on skiing in the afternoon.

Too good to resist, I picked up a 38 Performance Elite.

Definitely interested if it's a 29" 44mm offset, depending on what the BF price was of course.

Definitely open to the Mezzer Pro as well, I just haven't had much experience with Manitou and there weren't as many reviews.



This is great insight and news to me. I definitely like a bit of...

I'm considering upgrading the fork on my Sentinel V2 to a 38mm option for more stability and curious about what folks would recommend. I'm mainly looking at a Zeb Ultimate or Fox 38...

Her DIN is 4.5 so these could work!

Thanks for the ski recommendation, looks like those could work well. Her resort powder ski is a 153cm Volkl Confession Jr (100mm waist).

What skins and bindings did you go with?

Looking to get my partner into touring and am looking for a touring setup (skis, skins, and bindings ideally). She's 4' 9" so I'm not looking for anything longer than say 150cm.

Her BSL is 256mm...

Anyone have thoughts or experience on turning a Giant Trance Jr (26") into a mullet by putting a 27.5 fork and wheel on the front? I want to get a bit better rollover capability and there are more...

I'm signing up, PMed barkcity, tnabe, and jdoyle.

Should be the black one, SW-0.

Specialized trail pants are really good and work down to 30 degrees or so. Anything colder than that and I'm wearing my NF Destroyers.

Anyone interested in doing this ride on Saturday 10/28? Looks like it will be chilly but sunny at least.

Upgrading to the C1 air spring was a cheap and noticeable upgrade on my 2018 Pike RCT3.

If you are getting the damper serviced it might be worth looking at a custom tune as well. I had the...

Awesome, thanks for the beta.



If you're looking for just frames, Pro Bike Supply has great deals on them.

Free bump.

I'm thinking about picking up one of the frames since you can find some good deals on them, what did you think of these bikes?

I may have a 2021 Honzo ST frame size large for sale soon. Fun bike but the terrain where I live now is not suited to a hardtail (or I'm just too soft). PM me if interested.

I'll take the DH casing Kryptotal rear.

REI has a pretty big sale on their cargo e bike (https://www.rei.com/product/190640/co-op-cycles-generation-e12-electric-bike).

Seems like a pretty good deal for something I'm just going to use...

If anyone is looking for a set of lights I'm selling my set of Outbound lights since I upgraded to the latest version. This is their old Downhill Package and consists of the Road edition, which I run...

FYI you can still get the old construction EXO+ tires from Europe. I picked up a EXO+ Maxxgrip Assegai to replace the EXO+ Maxxterra Assegai that came stock on the front of my bike. The Maxxterra...

I'm in Missoula until Sunday and was wondering if anyone wanted to get out for a ride this week? After work is best for me, although I know it's going to be really hot then.

I have the Abus 12KS loop chain and one of their higher security u-locks (forget the exact model) to secure it to my rack or hitch. I like the u-lock better than the padlock since it offers more...

I have a Oneup pump with EDC tool already on the bike. With a CO2 cartridge in there I still need a place to stash the tube, pack pliers, tire levers, Racer Pro, and Inreach Mini.

Looking for a solution to easily move tools between 2 of my bikes. I have a Transition Sentinel with bottle bosses to mount to, and a steel hardtail that I'll mount to the frame. I'm looking to carry...

Blue should be fine. If it's backing out with it on the threads then degrease everything with rubbing alcohol or brake cleaner (including the female threads), reapply the loctite, then put it back...

Spy Legacy and Oakley Flight Deck work well for me, Smith doesn't have enough foam around my nose. Unfortunately it looks like both the goggles I like got discontinued so I'll have to find something...

No, I only spray a little bit a couple times a season and it's only along the Achilles area.

+1 to this, gaffers tape or gorilla tape along the entire heel/Achilles area and food grade silicone a couple times a season makes it super easy to get in/out of shells.

I'm heading to WG in March so will report back, but I chose them because we wanted an op that caters to strong skiers. From what I remember, I don't think their trees are particularly tight since...

This works well for cleaning pistons that are stuck: https://www.pinkbike.com/news/tech-talks-fixing-sticky-pistons-park-tool--video.html

I got the long nose marker and long thin blades from here to do my tool box and they worked really well: https://kaizeninserts.com/t/tools-to-kaizen

I also put marks on the blade using a sharpie...

Just wanted to give a quick shoutout to climberevan and XTRpickels for their awesome advice. I did my 62 mile race yesterday and I finished 20 minutes under my goal time WITH a mechanical that ate up...

I have the original downhill combo (road + trail, not EVO version) and it's been great. One of the battery case's straps tore and they sent me a new one free of charge without any questions. The...

I'd be interested in option 1 for sure. Would love to get a solid training plan in place, especially since I've seen what ~1 month of a little structured training can add to my fitness.

Awesome, thanks for the additional info. When you say 75% capacity do you mean in total minutes or in effort? E.g. should I do 3x5m intervals at the same intensity or still do 4x5m intervals at 75%...

That seems to line up pretty well with what I'm reading elsewhere. This article basically outlined your strategy: https://www.trainingpeaks.com/blog/the-art-of-peaking-for-a-cycling-event/
