I've pretty much stopped trying to sell used skis online. Unless it's a high value ski, the cost to ship just makes the whole transaction not really pencil out....

^^^ rad. That's meaty.

I miss having a good jump spot near me. Especially this time of year. Shoulder season is great for going and screwing around on jumps.

Sounds rad!

Dang, missed it. It's back to normal price now.

Nice. Rock work like that is always fun, even if it's often pretty slow going.

Chainrings come in different offsets, and you need the right one for that frame's chainline. Assuming there aren't any spacers available to swap on the spindle, the first thing I'd try is just flipping the chainring around on the crank. It'll look a little weird, but it'll put the offset "out"...

[toast2266]

It's fine. You probably can't just add a spacer to the spindle; it needs to be a certain width, and adding a spacer will make it too wide. You need to swap an existing spacer from the non-drive to the drive side. That spacer might be on the spindle, or (more likely) it might be on the bottom bracket...

That is an excellent idea. Thanks! I think that maybe just saved me $150.

Definitely. Kind of expected it. As much a anything, I'm annoyed with myself - I was in Europe this summer and meant to pick up some dt swiss hubs to bury in my checked bag but didn't get around to it.

I need some DT Swiss stuff, so I was gonna order it from Europe because it's much, much cheaper there (retail prices in Europe are less than wholesale prices in the U.S.). Even with the higher price of shipping, it usually pencils out. Had everything in my cart, only to find that now there are customs...

If you're still getting pissed off about bike features that haven't really existed since the 90's, then you need to smoke some weed or something.

I don't even remember what I was talking about. Cables? Lefties? Linear suspension components? Are you just trolling through the back pages of sprockets looking for an argument?

Got my guinea pigging done. Cased it a couple times, then cleaned it smooth a few times. Then I tweaked the in run and went very deep. Didn't crash but now my wrists are a little sore. Oops. Nothing a little advil won't fix.

Maybe if the price of new bikes becomes fully astronomical, my used bikes will be worth more than the pennies that I can currently sell them for.

(but this whole trade war is dumb and we're all fucked from like a hundred different directions)

[toast2266]

Not really. Landing is a few feet higher than lip, but it's mostly a double. Ended up building a little ride around option with zero gap after I took the the picture. Hoping to do some guinea pigging later this week if moisture cooperates.

My evoc pack is ~8 years old and still going. It's covered in bar oil and fairly filthy, but the zippers and buckles are all still kicking.

Been working on some new stuff this fall. Got a jump mostly built today.

Hey now, Crank Brothers put in some hard work across their entire product line to develop the industry's leading reputation for shitty products that break. Don't try to take that away from them.

I kinda doubt it would work that way. I'd assume he's not an employee of monster - they just sponsor him. And I'm skeptical that any normal corporate healthcare policy is gonna cover someone competing at rampage - that sort of thing is usually excluded.

I imagine that the practical...

My understanding is that if they're injured in the U.S., they're on the hook for the hospital bills. The healthcare offered in their country doesn't necessarily operate like insurance; it doesn't just pay whatever bill is thrown at it. It might pay *something* towards the charges incurred in the...
