Yes I think it works great, pumps tons of light. Then again I was running those crappy magic shine lights until I bought this. Which is a game changer

I bought this combo, have the cordless on the bars. No issues with cables, I would by far put the brighter cabled light on the helmet.

Frog lady save us.

Are you kidding? He is dominating the Autobahn as we speak.

Think this guy is a few sandwiches short of a picnic. Nothing like skipping the country and then saying where you are. This will follow him everywhere, enjoy dipshit.

You flip the one of the roof racks the other direction. Then there is no bar rub.
I have 2 Yakima high rollers for the top, a 2x One Up on the back ( which is off right now.)
One issue not pointed out is the rear license plate is completely obscured by the rack in the up position in these pics. My plate on my car is visible, another reason I went with the one up...anyone had a hassle from the cops?

Both Systems have their pros and cons as stated.  Except for the fuel economy issue, and a muddy roof in winter. I find the roof system to almost be easier for local rides. Then I can sit on the bumper of the hatchback to get geared up etc. For road trips the platter.

Its really funny how shops run in high season. They are always slammed and takes forever to get a big job done. Yet they only work 8 hour days for the most part when it is super busy, which always blows my mind. More bikes repaired= more revenue + happy customers who support your shop.

This argument reminds me of the SUP vs Surfers out in the break. Paddle has an advantage classified as a watercraft etc.
I'm sure it will work itself out in that I would never be caught dead surfing on an SUP like I would never use an electric bike.

I don't see these bikes destroying the trails, I just see way more search and rescue calls for injuries. Just like watching an SUP'er get drilled into the reef because they were able to paddle out with less effort.  Maybe that's why the trails on fromme are getting dumbed down? To keep the injury percentage down when a newbie faceplants on the first ride ever on an mtb  down seventh?

The trail traps are a big issue.... how would he know if he doesn't even have a bike?

This guy is only making it worse for himself. That babble made no sense at all, obviously not very bright or has mental issues. This is by far the best thing on NSMB in a long time, hopefully this guy keeps it going, crashing and burning like a rockstar. 5 out of 5 stars

Is this guy related to Trump?

This is by far the best material we have had on NSMB for a while. What a crazy story.

The implosion in the comment section is something to behold right now.

At least here in the US it is definitely not a fringe sport. Mountain biking has been assimilated into the group of "lifestyle" sports.

I lost interest in PB's articles a while ago, I just hope their buy/sell doesn't go away, although I am pretty sure it can't keep existing in it's current form after this acquisition.

What do you mean by implosion?

im·plo·sion

/imˈplōZHən/

Learn to pronounce

noun

an instance of something collapsing violently inward.

"the PB comments section undergoes a violent implosion caused by fear of the Outside paywall"

a sudden failure or collapse of an organization or system.

"the free content found on PB may soon undergo an implosion"

Thank you! Perfect.

Super cute lame response but it was a legit question. You didn't communicate that there was going to be a user pay system possibly on the horizon for pink bike and those of us that don't  visit the site would never know that.

So shoreboy has to come in and be dick.

Nice, fuck you guys.

Have a great weekend

This crash is pretty sick

Ah didn't catch the paywall part. Besides the buy and sell section find the pinkbike site/interface is pretty shit anyways. I prefer this forum it's way better for being abused.

I have 1X on my CX bike. Not a fan. Next gravel bike will be GRX 2X (Di2 pref) for sure.

I think it would be fine for a lost lake ripper, but overall I find too many times where I'm just between the right ratio for the cadence/speed/grade and having 2X would help give more graduated steps. I also end up compromised on top and bottom ends, so there's at least one climb I do where I just give up and walk rather than blow my knees out, and on the flip, it's not hard to find a road descent and basically be spun out.

Ya my Gravel bike has x2 up front. I wouldn't go 1x not enough range as you have stated. My old XC 29er was 1x, did a race that dropped down into Kelowna off the KVR and lost about 10 spots a couple KMs from the finish.  I spun out when I really tried to hammer on the road. That sucked

I made a few monster cross mountain bike conversion type road bike things over the years and never really rode them. It always seemed like the worst of both worlds. My gravel bike tries to blend a bunch of positive traits and it must be working because I ride mine as much as my mountain bike. It's got classic 90s mtb geometry at 71/73 but it's got a long road bike head tube and 700c/29" wheels. Also hydraulic discs and moderate 38mm tires since I use it more as a road bike  + than pure gravel. I'm not really trying to push the limit of what I can do on this bike terrain-wise because I have a mountain bike for that. The gravel bike is for tearing around the city, exploring stuff and finding unusual spots on the map.

Agreed. This is why I went the lightweight, quick handling 29er route instead. The King Kahuna in 22" (558mm seat tube) also has a crazy high stack height - 676 mm! - which I've been forever wanting on a XC bike.

Many gravel bikes are turning into what we rode 10 years ago. It's interesting to watch.

As much as it is interesting, I have disagree with the its a mountain bike from 10 years ago.  Although I have rode mine down Espresso for a laugh it's a brutal punishing ride. I demo'd one thinking it would be lame but was blown away on how fast these bikes rip on smoother gravel trails. Every time a friend has shown up with a light XC mtb on a gravel bike ride they have never been able to keep up with the group.. Since I have bought one I really have no need for a XC mtb around here. There is very little XC riding on the shore and the ones that do exist most lead to the Janky fun stuff so just stick with the enduro bike for all that. Maybe if I lived in the Okanagan or something an XC mtb would come in more handy.

A slice of apple pie is $2.50 in Jamaica and $3.00 in the Bahamas.

These are the Pie Rates of the Caribbean.

No it was a game comprised of putting an empty beer can on top of a vertical pole about 15 feet up, a volley ball and a free beer to anyone who could throw the ball and knock off the can. Only catch it was

every man for himself and full contact tackling. Needless to say being tackled by 3 huge naked dudes is something to be experienced. Even better for you friends watching laughing their asses off.

Wow the view from the property is amazing. Funny its the best view on Fromme but comes with a catch.

why so prude? never been to a sauna?

Ya sure. Its all good. Used to waste many summer days at wreckbeach... made the mistake of partaking in a game of beer ball there once........ Still traumatized

It's not homemade. Its going to be built by a specialty metal fabricator whole has the full set up for doing aluminum, CNC plasma cutter and all that jazz. When I went by to see him with my buddies truck to take some general measurements he was very concerned about the state of the rust around the welds on the NSR, if anything that will fail before what he builds me does.

I'm going to do a basket system instead of the hooks so I wont get sued.
