7Mesh following the Kit & Ace model....  charge exorbitantly more so people can brag to their friends how much they spent.  It will be $1000 with tax to stay dry riding in the rain when you shouldn't be riding anyways.  Cheaper to get a shovel.  /grumpybuilder

EVO's are all sold out until at least August.  Get what you can get.

If you really want to nerd out of dual crown vs single:

tldr:  

Uphill: 1000 m climbing (over an hour) = 34 seconds longer at 2 lbs more on dc

Downhill: 14 min dh = 20 seconds faster on dc

more details in the vid/article.

Great list Tim!

Kinetic Bike Shop in PoMo had them as well

trail builders like beer...  just saying.

that's kind of the going price for a frame....  probably super tough to get right now.

I've had the Wild Enduros but been waiting on the 22 and/or 34's.  Kind of over Maxxis heavier casings only in MaxxGrip and buying a Dissector.

I've been waiting 8 months get those tires in....

it's not about weight in regards to AR or ARC rim but the metal and how they are joined. A 9k bike with taxes is going to be 10k really quick. That's why the used bike market is so hot right now.

I think there's only one idiot here....

Since I'm the asshole, who's the idiot?

you can be both...

I think there's only one idiot here....

nothing wrong with that....  Obama had to fix all of Bush's f&ck ups now Biden will be doing the same.

anyone who thinks Trump is a good guy is a dimwit...

Specialized recently up'd their prices on the Enduro....  Pretty tough to get a descent new bike under 7k now,

I'm an old school guy and the old school trails from 20 yrs ago really suck on todays bikes.  I don't think the "old school" trails should be made golden but more of a "natural tech flow"...  get rid of the 90 degree corners, etc.

what was really scary were the threats/intimidation to the news media people that were  there...  I'm surprised none of them died by the Trump baffoons.    Amazing how 1 person could f&ck a country so bad.

what about the 80's riders, Mark?  dudes on the left remind me of Mike, Gabe and Dan from their early days up on Fromme.  and some Fred (of the Hangman), too.

you still ride much?

Mike and Gabe still ride.  Fred has been hurt for a few years now but is on and off the bike.

apparently no live trees were actually cut so I think DNV is posturing that anything new is bad....  it's "unsanctioned" and not illegal trails.  Everything was unsanctioned at some point.

I'm pretty sure Steve J is correct that DNV already knows what they want to do.... if they have more trails, more staff, more money more work more liability. Just easier to pay a consultant to say that these trails don't meet environmental standards and shut them down and pretend they are environmental stewards of the forest. I know of at least 4 trails on Fromme that got shut from DNV.

Meanwhile dogs roam free and poo bags everywhere cuz dogs are cute.
