Anyone have anything they'd like to rant about?

Wear a nice skirt, maybe it will happen.

Nope. Still didn't work.

And for the record, it was "Do you like to get gnarly?" not "Do you get rad?", my memory was off a bit.

All the above and equivalents would make my life awesome. It's like the sketchy kid in high school who would lean over and whisper "hey you like to party?" when all he really had to say was "do you smoke the weed?" Instead you're sitting there possibly questioning his sexuality, or the possibility that he has rohyphenol in his pocket.

People that do not promptly move out of the way when you come skidding up behind them. They look behind them, they see you and they just keep riding. Fuck those people

It's kinda worth it watching people hamster wheeling trying to get away from you and failing though. Hamster wheeling meaning trying way too hard in way too small of a gear.

Super boost is already a thing.

Get the fuck out of here! I thought they'd at least have the decency to wait another year or two.

[homemadesalsa]

How about this one:
Assholes who rail right up behind you on a hill and expect you to let them by RIGHT THAT SECOND when all you want to do is find a decent place to pull over, not in the shrubbery.

It's just a dh hub. It's what those morons should have done in the first place instead of dicking around with that 148mm nonsense.

When your internet friends fight over who's got the right of way on the trail. Sad making. Frown Face.

This. This is why Boost is no different than 6 minute abs.

yeah, I had a guy get right behind me on one of the downhill/freeride trails at galby in a challenging (for me) corner and I didn't know he was there until he was right on top of me, and I pulled off into the brush just because I almost thought he was going to hit me...

Another guy just last week got kind of pissed at me because I didnt get out of the way fast enough as he was coming up this steep spot that I was about to go down.. I stepped off the trail as soon as I saw him, but there isn't a much line of sight..

Honestly, though mtnbikers are so friendly and nice here that anything like that is a rarity. Mountain bikers are shockingly awesome, for the most part.

I'd also love to know what "high-end" frame/shock combo you can get new for $1,000.

An old outdated 26" hardtail.

Dear touchhole mtn biker hardcore road weenies -

If you're so fn core and super duper fast and someone is riding down in front of you that is slower. Stop and wait then go as fast as you want. It's just as much their right to be there as yours. Or just go back to the road where the assholes ride.

Cheers

X2 . Race face turbine loses air and needs that slick shit added waaaay to often. Air valve buried under the seat clamp is bs(what a stoopid design). Ridiculous price and they want me to pay an extra $80 for the under bar shifter option. I blame adidas

Stoked on my Dvo fork, saint brakes and running a coil rear shock on the little bike(all 3 have been massive improvements)

I gave up on Reverbs and thought the Turbine was the answer to my unreliable dropper post issues. I guess not.

I had a Reverb on each of my bikes now I have a rigid post on each one. I'm starting to question if they're even worth it.

The spacing is the same, but the flanges are wider.

But yeah. Boost is dumb.

[Damian Sanders]

If you add up your pricing it's $3000-$3500 you retard.

Hahahah. Gotcha!

Honestly at a shop a question like 'do you get rad' and the response answers most of what you need to know about how to set someone up. And no skirt necessary. Though yoga pants might get you more than what you came in for ;-) Carharrts, a hoody, and a quick convo never has failed me.

And my rant is why is this place not funny anymore? So serious or arguments about stupid BS. But I just ride and don't get into the minutia so what the hell do I know. Where is Rontele when you need him?

[LaBelle23]

And I have to add that bitching about the reverb is so 2012. What else are you going to do? We've all drank the kool aid and aren't going back so why not just deal? You just need to have 2 and know it needs a full rebuild at least once every season if you ride a lot.
