Anyone have anything they'd like to rant about?

[t.odd]

There is a whole zone of Zappa trails in Whistler:
There is a Dinah Moe Humm, Pinocchio’s Furniture, Peaches en Regalia, Toads of the Short Forest, Zoot Allures, Central Scrutinizer, Grand Wazoo, to just make a few off the top of my head.

Music names always seem popular, and I may have had a part in a trail that may have took one such name...and we've got a Pink Floyd theme in the north end with Comfortably Numb, Young Lust, Happiest Days, Out There, High Hopes, Wish you Were Here, Have a Cigar, and Pigs on the Wing but that's on the south end. And also a Cheap Thrills, Legalize It, Three Birds, Bush Doctor, AC/DC, Babylon by Bike, Marrakesh Express, Kashmir (although that one is more regional themed than musically)

[t.odd]

It might be doing that, but I always uncheck the “use preferred route” button. And it doesn’t seem to follow any preferred direction. It’s just weirdness.

there's also a 'enforce trail direction' check box that's default checked at the top of your route edit map

[Roxtar]

Since Chris King came out with the loud-ass hub in like ‘96?

To this day, the angry bees are still the sexiest sounding hub ever, IMO.

[rideit]

I do not agree. I think silent hubs are the bees knees myself. Except in bear country, maybe.

Agreed. CK's sound awesome.

I dislike almost everything else about them, but they sound great.

That’s what I was referring to, but didn’t remember the exact wording. I always uncheck that.

I'm in SC at the moment. Passed a few acoustic bikes on the up. Didn't say a word, just hung back and chilled, and they pulled off when they could. Three ebikers came up behind me and I did not pull off. I pulled to the side but did not stop. No fn way am I stopping for ebikers on the up! One dude chose to try and pass at a choke by a tree...wtf. Ebikes are fine, but know your place. If you don't, I'll let you know.

Shame they discontinued the ringtone.

That's like preferring the sound of a Tesla over a Hemi.

[rideit]

Which I most definitely do. Not the sound of the Tesla, but the lack of sound.

[skaredshtles]

I used to have a hub that when it sounded like a swarm of angry bees... it was time for service.

I really liked the sound of my DT 240...before I regreased it.

[beaterdit]

Onyx is paying for all that as subliminal advertising. Worked for me.

Me too. I'll never go back.

Clipped my bars on a stupid fucking juniper last night and it threw me off the bike. Pretty sure I have a broken rib or two. Right when the high country melts out, and my sister is coming to visit for two weeks. Damnit, but could be worse I suppose.

[mtnjam]

Groups of riders that stop about 25 yards from trail junctions and fail to recognize there are others on the trail behind them that would like to pass and act all suprised when you pass them while they are scrambling to get their bikes out of the way that are strewn across the trail.

This always perplexes me... but it shouldn't. People are oblivious.

Welp, no broken ribs just bruising. I'm kinda surprised with how the pain is but I guess I'll take it.

I'm gonna cut down that stupid little tree the next time I ride that trail.

This is more of a whine than a rant. Maybe there's a different thread for that.

[Dantheman]

My shoulder dislocated mid-turn in a bumpy berm. No crash. Unbelievable.

except if they are E-bikers in which case you don't move and just glare at them

[climberevan]

I'm still mad that I unwittingly yielded to two poaching mopeders today. They should be required to have a plate on their bars with a giant red M.

Recently? Balls...

[Dantheman]

Recently? Balls...

This morning during DH practice at Brianhead. Luckily it happened close to a service road crossing so I was able to get a ride down quickly, and there happened to be an ortho with some people we know and he was able to reduce it without any drama.

why just hold people up, just because of their equipment?

does it really matter if an E bike passes you?

I just can not fathom not pulling over to the side for a faster rider up, down, or across no matter what they are riding, just seems petty to me. What is an e biker place anyways? are you superior by riding a non e bike? small ego much?

On the recurring theme, there are shit bags everywhere right now. I’d rather you leave the dog crap than the bag filled with it.
