The headphone thing is beyond annoying here too. I've come up behind people and had to get off the bike and walk for a while before being able to get their attention. One guy still refused to move even when he knew I was there, without taking his headphones off he said he'd move when he was ready and not a second before and if I didn't like it I could turn around and leave. About 100 yards later I pushed him off the trail into a creek.

Art’s Cyclery shutting down their online store. That kind of blows.

Ride rounds happen and you can't control it. Filters, filters, filters. Place your advanced single track at the top of a big climb. Do not sign or map your trails. Do not host events. Route your trail so the easiest possible line is still interesting and hide more interesting options on the same trail, not as an optional route where possible. Do not get upset by what you can't control. Once an area sees a certain level of use, you have to provide for the lowest common denominator. The cool shit will always exist on the fringe, it will always eventually get assimilated by the ever-encroaching hoards of entitled users who's only idea of trail work is to "Un-do" your trail work to make it suit their needs better. Move further out, build more cool shit, and always have a project going so you can go there and build so you don't have to rant about the old trail that is getting hammered to death.
Not saying this is the key to happiness as a trail builder....but it does help.

X3 on bluetooth speakers.
And people who are sufficiently socially unaware to think those things are a good idea inevitably have terrible taste in music.

Actually, the guy who inspired my post was using a BT speaker, not headphones. It really was that god damn loud. They are a plague.
The whole idea of listening to music while descending is lost on me. Why remove a key sensory input? I'll frequently hear my tires starting to lose traction before I feel it.

The only thing I have to add to that is that if you are blocking Strava cheater lines, try and do it with things that would take 2-3 people to move.
Most of these line pussies are running solo.Forum Cross Pollinator, gratuitously strident

Industry Nine now selling the single easiest to produce, most reliable, most boring component ........ in shiny colors, is NOT newsworthy.

Maxxis tire sizing.
I know Maxxis runs small, what is the actual width of 2.6 & 2.5 DHF’s? (27.5)?

Pulled a SLX brakeset out the parts bin and found one of the hoses had a kink. "Well, that should be cheap to replace" I thought. Turns out it's almost $30 for a replacement hose. Seriously? It's $80 for a completely new brake.

I can’t stand this shit. You know who gets the right of way? The one having the most fun! BUT, everyone needs to play nice and be able to stop or slow down enough to not scare anyone or be a dick. /rant

Anyone else tired of the bureaucracy for building "sanctioned" trails?

The TGR app just started “recommending pages”. WTF?

Uphill users have the right-of-way. It's simple, only a d-bag wouldn't understand. The other that might not is one who thinks they know who's having more fun, the narcissistic mind at work whilst dipping heavily in the insecurity sauce.

You’re getting bent out of shape about made up etiquette that only applies in places that are overrun with the self righteous. Those rules don’t even exist here.
Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.
