Its a bit of a stretch with the Athertons, no? Robot Bike Co existed years before their involvement. 

I'd argue Cesar Rojo fits the bill with UNNO, though.

Bear in mind he's likely running completely different shim stacks and tunes internally though... so "XX clicks of LSCR" on his fork... isn't the same as yours. Same fluids? Same seals? I'd also bet he's a couple clicks one way or the other on most settings, and different pressures, in different locations and track types. 

Are you the same weight/height? 

All this to say... yes, maybe it works for you in this case, but there's a lot of factors at play beyond reading what pros are running.

I'd suggest the geometry needs of Jesse, Remi, and ALN are different than 99.99% of riders.

Ritchie Rude was (who knows, maybe he still is) "as much pressure as Fox will let him" in his fork. His setup (or Jesse's, or Remi's, or ALN's) just isn't actually that relevant to most folks. Ritchie was also winning races on a bike that the internet probably thought was so out of date it should be in a dumpster. 

Honestly its weird to me that customers/riders obsess so much about what people are racing on... I'm not out there changing tires on my truck because someone won King of the Hammers on a set of whatevers - and I don't think dropping 129g or saving 2.5W on my drop bar bike is making the difference between me and a pro tour ride. The needs of us mortals and the needs of those at the top of (any) sport just aren't the same.

Not pedaling around with anchors on your feet seems like a win.

Cheers!

I think it's likely because they've got two zones that they're the L6... 4x BOA dials add up fast.

I'm not aware of any BOA flat pedal shoes, but also I'm not too on top of my flat pedal shoes, so perhaps someone else will chime in with a brilliant solution if we're lucky!

That's just a cow - nothing terribly exciting. 

Alligator would have matched the shoes well, but wouldn't really tie the [living] room together.

I tried taking pictures on a nice mossy floor but you couldn't see the shoes.

Yeah, agreed on the dropper. I use it dropped ALL the time and its a bit easier to keep him wrangled - he's also still new to it and quite young, so perhaps this will change as he gets stronger.

They're great fun. 

I mean, my biggest impediment to spending more time at Cypress is that traffic getting home to Grand Boulevard is a dice roll.

Otherwise its great. Trails are sick, climb is brutal but efficient. Bike wash, beer, pizza... those are all just nice add ons.

The newsletter was what the NSMBA was told by BC Parks, verbatim.

They've since followed up, "visitors to Mt Seymour, with bikes onboard, who are intending to stage from Vancouver Picnic Area, will not be required to have a day pass, when the pass checkpoint is occurring on the lower mountain at 3km."

I rigged this up last spring so I wouldn't have to drive to ride (and after I saw a similar setup flying up Mtn Hwy). All the more apropos now. For the record, I am not interested in simplifying to the point of getting an emtb.

Could have been me... blue longtail bike?

So is the new Ironworkers interchange basically 100% done now? For those who regularly commute over the bridge - have you noticed a difference?

I commute over 2-3x a week... going downtown it'll  be quite a bit better than it has been - but kinda just back to the way it was - once the southbound path is finally open again; its too bad there's not going to be any improvements to the switchbacks down to Skeena/Bridgeway. Coming back, the new stoplight coming north on the north end is... I guess useful. Until all the paths in that area are done, its still not great unless you really know where you're going. The best/most improvements are around Keith/Fern/Old Lillooet/Mt Highway and are mostly good, although there's some weird choices on circuitous routing, and some sections that have just weirdly been left as gravel. Its definitely improved safety getting over to Seymour from my place

Well, im glad I work from home:

This is a precise illustration of my fears around increasing the size and frequence of the tankers heading up Indian Arm. Or an earthquake. 

Look at the effect this tiniest issue on the bridge caused around the city. If one of these bridges were permanently disabled the whole place would grind to a halt. We desperately need a transit link that's separate from these bridges. At least in an emergency pedestrians could still get around.

"What is the Seabus, Alex?"

I have one, too.

EDIT: although it would appear the forum gods do not want me to post a picture of it.

BC Parks should finish building the Mile Zero lot at IRR/Seymour. 

But they won't, because a couple of key DNV people freaked out about it.

"this thread is a timecapsule" 

There's large conversations in here that, if you removed the date stamp, would be indistinguishable from conversations happening today. ha.

@Adam-West - You got your parts for the T-swap yet, or what? :-P

Dozer - unless you feel the need to get really crawl-y offroad, not a lot of downsides to the longbed? For me it was the only option with enough space to fit bikes/gear in the back. I'm not leaving a bike on a rack... anywhere, really. Which makes any kind of road trip a real challenge. With the longbed, everything fits in the interior. 

And, unless you're of below-average height, you're probably not going to sleep in the back of a shortbed.
