Anyone have anything they'd like to rant about?

Is the frame storage bracket spaced the same as a water bottle cage? Like, could I use it on a different frame instead of a water bottle?

Yep.

Yeah, that's pretty nice. I've got water bottle bolts on my Tracer that are too close to the shock to ever have a bottle on them. I have a bottle cage with one of those shimano half-bottle storage things (below), but this would fit in the space better.

When I swapped the fork on my GG, the lower headset flippy cup fell out. It was mildly inconvenient. I'm still recovering from that experience.

The only downside of the GG cables is that they're all on the left. Forces the dropper cable into a funny angle. I still think it's the best solution I've seen though.

Yeah. On my GG I've had my dropper cable get bound up. I had to fiddle around with the brake hose and the cables for a while before I got the dropper to work again.

I ordered my Shred Dogg in June. I was recently told production of size 1 frames are on indefinite hold. Damn. It looked like a sweet bike.

How tall are you? Think you could fit on a size 2?

No. The GG guy asked that as well. According to their size guide I'm a size 1.
I looked at the specs of a size 2 and that's not what I want.
No worries, there's lots of bikes out there.

I just found out Adidas has discontinued the 5.10 Freerider VCS (kids version). It was literally the only legit bike shoe for kids. Adidas can eat a big fat dick.

I feel you. They’ve fucked up the 5.10 climbing stuff as well.

I think Ride Concepts has a kid's line. No idea if they're any good, but they look similar to the adult shoes, which seem decent.

Some asshole has been spreading glass on the local trails. Real dick move, but nobody’s caught the perp and there’s tons of walkers on the trails, so it’s pretty hard to narrow things down.

I'll check this out, thanks!

Ooh, I have one!
I have four sets of DT hubs. Three 240’s, and one set of road ‘1400’ something or another. The 240’s I can swap among the bikes without adjusting the calipers whatsoever. The cheaper ‘1400’ ones are not spaced the same, they are a fraction of a mm outboard (so I couldn’t shim them even if I could find a .5mm Centerlock spacer).
First world problem, for sure, but annoying when I want to put the skinny wheels on the gravel bike...

Buy a pack or two of 0.25mm centerlock rotor shims, and shim out the 6 x 350. All wheels will them work.

[rideit]

I think I am just going to go the monocle route, and get another set of 240’s.
I hate those wheels anyway...

[grinch]

1st world problems. Can build some nice light wheels w those 240's. Jelly

Biking partners.

1 regular buddy is constantly 15 minutes late. Gotten to the point that I say, lets meet at XX o'clock, I show up at XX:15. and am usually there 1st. Gives me time to check the bike and shock pressures.

[grinch]

I thought that was early in ski town time?

My rule used to be 10 minutes (back when I actually rode with people who didn't live in my house). If we agree to meet at 9:00, I'm starting riding at 9:10 whether you're there or not. I don't have that much time to ride and I'd rather ride alone than be sitting around waiting.

Before every ride: “I’m gonna clean this hydration bladder after the ride”
During the ride: “I’m gonna lube the chain and bleed the brakes after the ride”
After the ride: “I’ll deal with that shit before the next ride”
