I'm guessing they had too many water bottles mounted and it was twisting the frame out of alignment.Quote:

Someone on MTBR tried to start an internet fight with me over the presence of a 1 mm washer. It’s too stupid to even attempt to explain.

News flash: 2.3" is the sweet spot for all sizes of mountain bike tires.
I will agree that there's lot's of stupid shit on MTBR...but take a few minutes and scroll the first couple pages of this thread:
http://forums.mtbr.com/passion/alpin...e-1082875.html
Threads like this one are the reason I still spend time over there.
Yeah but there's only Mike and maybe 5 other people that post anything even resembling stoke on MTBR these days. I've found some good info on rides from time to time but it's getting pretty sparse.
Is it really any different here?
Of course. No one posts on MTBR to update everyone on the stupid ass shit we debate here. Maybe Johnny Highway Sanders could get on that?Quote:

Come on, people e-bragging on MTBR? You crazy.

Answer is yes he can. Even on a 10mm non through axle bolt on hub.

First of all, you can certainly true that and make it rideable.
Secondly, you can de-tension all the spokes, bend the rim back into shape, and then re-tension it and true it, it will be almost as good as new.
Thirdly, good luck getting the driver that hit you to pay for a new wheel.
I thought the water bottle cage was for bear spray?
No: firearms to defend against wolves.Quote:

I don't mind the yellow.
I may register for MTBR just to let them all know that red is obviously the fastest color.

Buncha fat guys spotted
But for real 20psi in a 2.35 XC-ish tire seems reasonable
If you put sealant in a tire, and your symptom is that nothing but air is coming out, you haven't quite figured out the "system" yet!!!!
I used to think MTBR was the worst, but now I'm in the Front Range Mountain Biking Facebook Group. Holy Fuck! It's like excitable middle aged nerds who don't know about MTBR yet!!!!
303 Trail Monitor is even dumber.Quote:

Fucking Bay Area...
Do yourself a favor and drop out right now. That group and 303 Trail Monitor will drive you insane if it hasn’t already. Nothing good can possibly come out of it. Nothing.Quote:
