New Frame and fork. Giant Revolt Advanced Pro size Medium. Fits me perfectly. It’s set up in the long chip configuration with tons of room for the Cintrato’s which measure 47mm on the Firecrest rims. Bike is so well balanced, feels glued to the ground. Waiting on a stem from Giant before I cut the steerer tube. Stoke level, red.

Hacking a Presta valve stem is the last thing I want to do so I got presta valve cores from the LBS, they were not out on the wall they were in a little drawer in the back of the LBS so one has to ask, I never had to deal with a broken stem in 20yrs of running tubeless

Me neither

Until I did.
I now carry a complete stem and a valve core.

well I always carried a spare tube but now I also plan to carry a spare core which is easier than changing a tube in a slimy tire

My first major tubeless flat was a broken stem/core. I carry tubes now rather than fuck around w that bullshit repair.

I blame aluminum stems. (Mostly).

convinced my wife to upgrade her "vintage" MTB. She loved it, and saw no need for an upgrade, until she rode the new one. Trek Top Fuel with the T-Type, carbon wheels, etc. etc.



bonus points if anyone can name this riding location:

Planet Earth?

Knowing the state would help...

[toast2266]

I'm guessing somewhere in central Washington.

Lago Argentina by El Calafate?

Changing the valve is easier and a lot less messy than putting a tube in a sealant filled tire.

Yup, never heard of a brass one breaking

I warranties a few Fillmore valves, I commented to Santa Cruz that if they made a brass version, it would be the best version.

Stan's have had Schrader tubeless valves available for 20 years.

Got the new Vivid air for my SB160 as the X2 was bound to blow up sometime. Its quite a nice shock and very easy to set up.

Got my sag right quickly due to the sag markings. Set my rebound to what felt about right in the parking lot and didnt touch the dials for HSC and LSC and it rode really well.

Only gripe is that you cant access the HSC adjustment on the SB160 frame without taking the front shock bolts off. Good thing I didn't need to adjust.

My X2 isn't holding air and is about to back to Fox for a hopeful warranty, so I bought a DVO Topaz to ride while the X2 is getting serviced. Ibis has had some excess shocks in its clearance section for a while. I considered buying a Jade Coil multiple times, but I thought I was in between the spring rates they had in stock so I hesitated. Then when I both needed a shock and had gained a few pounds, I went and they were sold out. But they had the Topaz for $170, so I snapped it up. I know it isn't considered at the sharp end of the current shock competition, but I liked the one I had for years on my Bronson a lot, so I think it will serve.

Just grabbed a 2022 Revel Rascal, used-perfect condition. Bike is Cherry! The previous bike was a 2013 Specy Camber Carbon. That gold stem is going.
