Damn. I remember when Galbraith Mtn only had a few drops and skinnies... It looks sick now!!

wow. I really dig the look of this bike.

...time to start a piggy bank

Beers and a bike? That's a match!

I've used some of this Clear Gorilla tape I once had sitting around the house. It's quite thick and tough so held up to lots of abuse

This seems cheap and easy to find. Does it leave any residue when it's removed?

It came off no problems for me, worst case some goo-gone would get rid of anything leftover

You were right about Fridays vid! That was an epic looking trail. I did not expect that dry creek bed to turn into a deep canyon ride! 🔥

Keep 'em coming man!

I'm jealous of all this shed conversation. Currently flipping my bike in the living room to make ends meet, crude but effective!

You might find what you're looking for with NS Ride.

Had a couple pm's suggesting NS Ride as well... Sounds like a pretty active group! Thanks for the suggestion, I'll be looking into them

Time's almost up boys and girls! If you're on the fence trying to decide whether or not you can write a review, just do it! It ain't so bad...

(JK... it's horrible. You probably shouldn't. You don't need a new fork to review anyways right? I mean, 1 out of 18 are horrible odds aren't they? Better luck next time maybe...)

Well, Pete said there will be up to 4 BB members selected to participate. 4 out of 22 doesn't sound so bad. Fingers crossed!

Oh man! That's even worse... :P

Good luck!

Hey all!

I've been away from the sport for several years now, and after several relocations I've lost contact with all of the friends I used to ride with... (I mean, I still have friends, they just don't ride mtb lol). Last summer I picked up a new bike and have since been hit big-time with the biking bug... Going to the mountains almost every weekend has been fantastic! But I definitely miss having friends up there to share the ride with and who push my limits.

I'm a 29 year old intermediate rider (on a hardtail) who is decently fast on the trail, and I've been working on my abilities quite a lot this past year between the trails & bike park. For example, I can ride bobsled and expresso at Mt. Fromme well enough, but skip the big rock-roll on expresso (for now).

Does anyone know of any local groups around Vancouver, BC that host rides? I've been thinking about volunteering with a trail-building group locally to make connections that way... Any good ones you know of?

Anyways, am hoping some of you may be able to share your experiences getting out there and meeting new people through our shared love of the mtb.

Another option is racquetball glasses. I found a nice pair at a sporting goods store for about $20. The quality was better than my hardware store glasses and they were designed to take a racquetball so hopefully they will hold up in a crash.

Nice! I'll look into this option. Trying to decide which $150+ pair of eyewear to buy isn't easy when there's 10 other things I want to spend my mtb money on

For our next tutorial, I would like to suggest we work on how to type and form sentences properly.  There are some valid points in your post, but it is almost unreadable as you have presented it.

What is this, reddit?

I think GMBN's video on the subject of buying a used bike covers what to check on the mechanical side. If something doesn't jive as a buyer I'd say move on, unless you have the time/ability to repair what's wrong.

Definitely worth performing your own similar testing to a bike you're trying to sell before listing it; I'd make absolutely sure there's nothing loose/sloppy that would give a prospective buyer something to barter over....
