    So…

    What the actual fuck?
    I found your response entirely appropriate. No clarification needed.

    Do they have any reviews of riding without gloves? That was a classic.

    Im not sure. I dont hear anything he says after a few stumbles, back tracks and confusing descriptions but ive only tried 5 or 6 vids. Very disjointed speaker

    "Mag" is a relative term.
    It makes perfect sense...until you think about it.

    I suspect there's logic behind the madness, but I'm too dumb to see it.

    Was that a legit thread? Like an honest question or just trolling?

    Hah!

    “They literally cannot just ride their bike in a straight line and sit on their seat to the trailhead. That's torture for them psychologically. They are on their bike and damnit, they are going to have fun on it every second. “

    Haha. I thought about posting that here, but to be fair to the the MTBR crowd he’s getting nothing but abuse. Not much debate in that thread.

    Rather than buying a decent bike, that OP keeps building a fleet of entry level hardtails, and continually posts about how changing a tire or tire pressure affects his average time on a climb with X% average grade.

    Yes, basically the MTBR version of DSM.

    That thread’s still going, BTW.

    MTBR had been falling apart for a while, but the death blow was when the idiots in charge decided to create 400 different forums. It’s mostly there for entertainment purposes these days.

    Yeah - any time a forum changes software everyone complains like crazy, but I sure basically stopped frequenting there after the latest changes.

    Still getting over that our local's reputation has gotten so internationally recognizable. Picard thread lol.

    I don't post on MTBR anymore, but I skim through it on occasion. There's a guy in New Zealand who has some sort of suspension tuning business, and posts a lot about suspension stuff. Turns out he rides his tires at 35+ psi and wears them out to the point of no grip at all.... which kind of calls into question anything he says about suspension tuning, IMHO.

    I clicked on that thread because, hey, maybe there are some widely available less expensive DHF clones that I might like - - and then it turned into viewing the 4-year old threadbare tires that guy rides on, while telling everyone how difficult his local trails are and how bad factory suspension setup is.

    It's a slow motion train wreck of a thread. And random comments from MTBR people suggesting every conceivable tire, most of which are nothing like a DHF.

    But you need significant upper body strength to ride those trails.

    I think I'd need to drop my rear shock pressure by half if I ran 35 psi in the rear and didn't want to snap a few vertebrae at each rock impact...
