"having one truly filthy garment to deal with" -Get a Dirtlej suit.

The Hold Em’s become more loose with wear until you wash/soak them, but you shouldn’t do that every time with wool. Just shake them and let them rest for a day or two (unless you’ve been really scared😀).

Mons Royale Hold’em Boxxers don’t have crotch seams. Before I discovered those, I allways rode commando wich limited my choice of shorts to ones with mesh liners, now I can wear whatever. On top of that, they’re made of Merino Wool which makes them perfect for multiday trips. Just bring two pairs and alternate between them, and if they get too nasty, rinse and let dry. They never get smelly and the wool eliminates any bacteria. 

With the Mons’ and a Chromag Trailmaster I can do two-three days (6-7 hours a day) trips whitout getting too sore. I have ridden bicycles all of my 51 year old life though.

Cool bars. They look like something Marlon Brando would be riding.

I ride an Airdrop Edit (FS) and a ‘20 Chromag Rootdown both of wich I would say are pretty low and slack. The bars are a little above saddle height, and the saddle is level, so I think I’m good in that department. I’ve developed a good tuck and roll, when i crash, and consider my backpack (with or without protector) part of my protection, so I’m not really interested in a hip pack. I also frequently carry a small folding saw and a (very) small folding spade, which I would have a hard time fitting into a hip pack. I’m (still) practising not overloading though. 

If you aren’t experiencing further shoulder load with the Chase, I’m inclined to try it out. It looks stupid with the backpack waist belt tightened up like a dress belt anyway.

I usually get a sore neck/shoulders when wearing a backpack for several hours even with a good waistbelt. What is your experience regarding this? I would assume all the load is on the shoulders/neck?

On my second ride with the Rainier Gen3 the actuator stuck, leaving the post unlocked in any position. I reached out to PNW who replied: "We have identified that some of the Rainier Gen 3 actuators have a rough machining issue on the moving parts causing them to intermittently stick. We have also found a repair for this issue that 100% fixes the problem." This was on sunday (four days ago), and today I received a replacement actuator. Considering, that there's nine hours time difference and half a world between Denmark and Pacific North West, I reckon that's pretty fast. PNW have even made a video showing how to install the new actuator. If you know what a wrench is, and wich way to screw-unscrew, it's a walk in the park (only it won't take so long).

By the way, I had the defect actuator running again with some thin lube. So allmost no downtime.

3 points (between 2 bikes). Sealant, shockbushings and rebounddamper.

Same here: Saint shifter, Zee short cage derailleur, 11-40 Sunrace cassette and a 32 (Renthal XR1) chainring. Works a treat.

You forgot the Dryrobe https://dryrobe.com/collections/short-sleeve-dryrobe for changing/waiting and while maintaining the bike.

Sounds like I need to put Grannies on my bucketlist for when I come to Vancouver this summer (from Denmark). Is there somewhere I can find video/fotos from Grannies? Just to make sure I have the skills.

Here's a POV ride-through (beware the GoPro effect, the trail is steeper than it appears on video) :

Thanks a lot. I just watched the first five minutes at work. Can’t wait to get home and watch the rest.

Yes. It seems like just the kind of trails I’m looking for. This is what I’d call real mountainbiking. I especially like the way it looks like it’s never seen a showel. Sure there are skinnies, but it looks like there hasn’t been done much grooming other than just moving a couple of logs to show you the way. Can’t wait to go. Thanks again for the video.
