Looks like I almost accomplished this last fall when combining some recommended routes from other mags. (At least assuming anywhere on the ridge is fine and you don't need to do the whole red trail...

These seem like a good deal if they fit your spacing/axle setup, even if you have to swap freehub bodies:...

I think my neighbor falls into that category. He started MTBing early last year. Bought a YT Capra after borrowing bikes a few times...that's what his roommate had.

But his roommate was someone...

That's probably true.

I really have been enjoying the SB115 a lot (and hope to enjoy it even more with a livelier wheelset and grippier tires). I tried a couple true XC bikes, but I'm not racing...

Might be time for me to make that jump too.

That extra gear and wider range could be pretty useful. Right now I’m geared low for climbing but I spin out on moderate descents.

edit: except I...

To be clear, this is more like a 1700g 32 spoke wheelset.

It is plenty burly for the bike and I STILL managed to shave off a pound vs the stock wheels. That’s why I think the original 2000+g set...

Installed all the SB115 upgrades I bought over the winter. Also installed a hitch receiver in my GTI so now both of our cars can carry a bike rack. Had to pull the whole bumper fascia off but I think...

Maybe? A crimped loop seems like it would be an easier less bulky option (although require you to crimp it yourself)

Seems similar to my experimental option with a wood dowel and some spyderline....

You can still do custom graphics on the veneers...they are just far more muted/subtle.

That said--yeah, the boldness of the colors of the plastic topsheet is half the fun. I have also never had...

I think your file is too big. Need to resize below 2mb or so?

Unfortunately you gotta do that on your end as the software won't just shrink it for you.

On Android I used to have a slick app...

Not the greatest build/suspension but...you can get a new Rocky Mountain Element 10 for $1500 in any size. ...

Rim diameter, inner width, axle type?

Didn't quite nail the focus but pretty happy with this Big Dipper shot.

Are you running it back to your safety chain loops or just wrapping it around the bikes and some part of the 1up? If back to the chain loops, is the 6' long enough to make it through bike wheels and...

Hell of a light show. Can't way to pull some more RAW shots from my real camera and see if I actually nailed the focus.

Here's one I just pulled straight off the camera wifi to my phone last...

I'm currently a believer in the "hoji formula" here: larger boots should move back by (BSL-284)/2 millimeters.

Which is naturally going to put bigger skiers (who tend to have bigger feet) further...

I can confirm that I've had a set of cheap amazon calipers since 2012 and not ONCE have I run into an issue where something got messed up because the calipers weren't sufficiently inaccurate.

I'm...

Used to freaking love getting the performance and nashbar catalogs as a kid.

I'm 6'2 195 or so on 184s and I'd say I'm at the point where I kinda wish I had the 190s, mostly for the bit of extra float.

They pivot around so easily that I'm sure I wouldn't have trouble...

Fanboy gets his finger broken by his cybertruck while trying to prove that clearly the Tesla engineers would never allow such a thing to happen:...

My wife has an earlier version of what became this bike to fill that sort of role:...

I was about to chime in and say absolutely not...but then I saw your note that they'd be for YOU.

I think they could work there. They seem very fun to slide around at low speeds in the right...

That's the one thing that's making it hard to hold on to my beloved custom steel CX bike that does gravel/road duty now.

The straight steerer is fine and while pickings were slim I was able to...

FWIW, Fox turned around my X2 in March in about a week and responded to a follow-up email in April in a day or so.

They didn’t have to do any work on it though as they just sent me a brand new...

Anyone have comparative measurements for 2.4 DHR vs 2.4 kryptotal on the same rim?

Can I expect the kryptotal to measure larger like they seem to do in the 2.6 size vs maxxis?

Had time for a little after work lap at copper city last night. Fun stuff, wish I’d had time for a 2nd or 3rd climb. Someone put a LOT of work into those access road switchbacks!!!

Probably gonna...

If you're just trying to carry gravel bikes and you're not that worried about frame rub...old hanging style racks tend to go pretty cheap and they are easy to store when not using.

Modern geo...

Sounds like stuff is still a lot wetter than what we have in the flathead.

I think I'm just gonna bring gravel bike, trail bike, and touring skis...who knows what I'll get up to!

If anyone is...

Bozeman mags: I'm coming down for a few days over this weekend.

Any suggestions for a good bike loops that are melted out?


Alternatively, I wouldn't mind another day of skiing...you can...

Yeah, usually the prices come down to make it work out about even on a monthly payment level (although you get shit for equity if all your money is going to the HOA so its not a great long term...

Zenni works great for cheap sunglasses, but the prices add up if you start adding features.

Polarization plus a mirror flash and you are already adding $64 to the price (which would buy you 2...

Anyone have thoughts on how the freerider pro canvas compares to the regular freerider pro?

Hit them up on their contact page.

If enough people express interest in hoodless options, they might make them.

Did ski:

Rustler 10
Sheeva (Rustler) 11
Praxis MVP 108 (most of the days once the snow filled in)
Kastle MX84
Fischer RC One 82 GT (can’t get along with these, the kastles win this slot and...

Dude, that's perfect for after work rides. Will pair nicely with my Arc'teryx Veilance goretex blazer:...

A few days into my low-loft power-wool Amnicon and I've really enjoyed it so far.

I'm to cheap for it, but Rapha stuff has always been super nice and the minimal branding is a winner in my mind.

I'm sure it was the business model that worked, but I've always wondered if they...

Yeah, for most people wheelbuilding is something to do when you want something specific/oddball that just isn’t commercially available. Weird hub you really want to use, strange sizes, etc.
...

Updating this thread because I caved and reordered the evoc pro 3L. The hot laps 5L is just too big and bouncy (with or without the bladder). If I need a totally full 2L bladder and a bunch of stuff...

I think there’s a reason you don’t see many boutique boots (or bindings really…)

Although they are also a lot less sexy…limit to how wild and exciting you can get on a boot.

Nah, I'm normally closer to a 45.5 or even a 45 but I took a gamble...

Somewhere I have a 46.5 that fit me so I thought it was worth a shot (they are a super-narrow 46.5), but these are just a...

That new Fix Manufacturing torque wrench that goes from 2-24Nm looks nice.

I was just reinstalling a shock and needed 20Nm but my 1/4" bike wrench only goes to 15 and my only other torque wrench...

Too late now obviously, but you can use the different "levels" on the chain tool to finesse the pin back to where it is supposed to be. Even my crappy multi-tool chain breaker has two sets of...

X-Post from Sprocket Rockets:

Catch and release from cinnepa (too big for me).


He described them as like new, used a couple times and I would say that description was accurate. Can tell a...

Bumping these now that we're getting in to biking season.

Almost new pair of $250 shoes here...local shop can't even get full size runs from Specialized right now to sell at MSRP.

Maybe one of the Walton heirs buys it as a passion project (like a better MTB replacement for Viathon)…

Seems like a bad time to be looking for a buyer for a floundering bike brand…

I’m thinking Gibraltar in ‘27 would be pretty cool.

That whole area of the 27 eclipse is like 90-95% chance of clear skies that time of year too.

Have you tried playing with the deductible?

Coworker of mine quoted raising their deductible 5k and their quote went down like $4900. They literally wanted them to pay almost 5k for 5k worth of...

Yes, x10 on wandering (or biking) aimlessly. Not a place to aggressively plan anything besides 1) timed entry museum tickets, 2) scheduled tours, 3) dinner reservations

Also don't skip the Musee...

Hopping on a bike share bike is a fun way to get around.
