Ha! Specialized did nearly the exact same thing here in UT 10+ years ago when they stayed at Snowbird for a dealer launch. They flagged an illegal trail with Specialized tape so their retailers from around the country wouldn’t get lost.
I was hoping you were gonna tell me all the e bikes caught on fire…

Not quite bike related but I was having a post ride beer with one of my buddies from Boston at the trail head other day. Some random douche sees my buddy's Mass. plates and yells, "Got back to Mass, we don't want you here!" My buddy (who grew up in Vermont) confronts him and verbally tears him apart for being a dick. The dude backed down like a scared rat.
Who are these miserable fucks and why do they want to ruin a good time?

It goes pretty far up the east coast this time of year as well. Tuesday morning at 6 was 72 @100% humidity. Felt like pedaling through soup. Hands were prune-y for an hour afterward... it's pretty bad

Windy and cool here today, might snow to 5500'. Perfect timing, the skeeters were starting to piss me off.
I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

I find the brake thing funny.
Shimano: "Every disc brake they've sold at every price point in the last decade will stop a bus. They're easy to bleed. Not perfect, but They....... Work........ Peirod"
SRAM: "If you buy the Code RSC they're just as good as Shimano, maybe even better, maybe....... depends on how quickly you want to stop your bus. And the special $60 bleed kit makes it almost doable for a competent mechanic after he's had some practice."
Shimano: "So, if I buy the XTR level brakes from Sram, they're good. Wow, I'm definitely switching over immediately! Oh, and I can finally upgrade from the $4 bleed cup that Will...... Not ........ Die? FKNA Awesome!"
Sram: "Damn it, I just get so emotional when you don't agree with me!"
I find it's almost funny enough to distract me from you guys bitching about some people being assholes but you accidentally blaming it on the types of bikes they ride. Well, the one about the illegal ebike riding the illegal trail in an area where ebikes are often allowed but not following the unwritten illegal bike trail rules and getting totally served by someone who seems to have spoiled their own day by administering said justice in such a persistent and time consuming manner. Yea, I enjoyed that anecdote.However many are in a shit ton.

Eh. I think MTB brakes are prime YMMV territory. I've owned one pair of Shimanos (SLX), and they definitely did not work period. Would not hold a bleed, and when they did the bite point shifted constantly. Have owned 4+ pairs of Sram (Juicy 7, Elixer 5, X0, Guide RSC) and no issues (might be a record). My main riding partner has had numerous problems with RS Sram brakes.

^^ I know we're all joking here but anyone ever see the BrakeAce? Raced the inventor, Matt Miller, a bit when he lived around here and trained some pretty high level athletes before he moved to NZ.

Wonder if EWS and/or DH teams have investigated this? I'm certainly not in need one for my own uses, but talk about marginal gains.
Oh and the best feeling brakes I own are freshly bled 2-piston super shiny XTR race circa 2015 w/ mixed shimano/knock-off pads. Doubt they actually stop faster than my 4 pistons, but lever feel of shimano can be awesome.

06-11-2021, 08:38 AM #3096It makes perfect sense...until you think about it.
I suspect there's logic behind the madness, but I'm too dumb to see it.

I prefer the humidity, I actually like sweating out of every pore. Feels good on my old joints also. Older I get the more I like it hot and humid.
