Agreed! Cam, pleeeease give your proofreaders (or yourself? lol) a kick in the butt. I used to enjoy coming to NSMB to read articles with no spelling or blatant grammatical errors, after reading the poorly written and proofed Pinkbike articles, but every single thing I've read on NSMB lately has had spelling or obvious grammatical errors. Pet peeve for this nerd, lol....

But really enjoyed the content... and I think it does need a follow-up discussion about the scotches!

I was stoked to see the innovative e13 stems and got a pair. Unfortunately they do not play well with any of my Lezyne pumps and pump heads so I will be removing them. Look forward to checking out these Orange Seal ones.

Will ride for beer

I have already seen a full mtb version ridden/demo'd on Fromme… I'm certainly anti-e-bike-on-singletrack.

Really? I have been surprised at the number of people pushing single crown bikes up Fromme (not little kids nor DH bikes). I started calling it the Giant Reign syndrome just because that seemed to be the push bike of choice for the first while when I noticed it, but I certainly can't single out that bike. You used to get ridiculed if you didn't ride your DH bike up. (I was 50/50 on the DH bike years ago when I actually rode one on Fromme - 224 got rode up because I could put my seat waaaay up, but the V10 got mostly pushed).

But you are right (and also kindly pointed out by a friend), it sure as hell is better than people just sitting on the couch and not getting out riding !!!!

LOST at top or on Expresso - thin black leather dog leash, 5ft long. About 7:30pm on a night ride, Oct 15. if you find, pls pm or call 604-838-5378. Thanks!

my 2 cents as a long time Evil Revolt owner - I've been riding my Revolt for a few seasons (I have one of the early production models) - zero issues whatsoever. Same as some other friends who have Revolts from back then and are riding them still. I know there are others that have had issues and we are fortunate to still be riding our Revolts. It remains the best-riding DH bike I've ever been on or owned (and I've ridden numerous). Still love it. I hope Evil works its way out of its troubled past and into a position where it is, once again, shaking things up for the bigger bike brands. And that those unfortunate enough to have warranty issues get to enjoy an Undead! :)

Man, your question is identical to the one I was going to ask! Did Warner last year with a detour up windy pass and down. Going to try one lake further this year and land in Lorna. Have you gone on your trip yet? We're heading this weekend.

I've been recommended by my local friend that option #1 is hands-down the way to go. Do you have any gps map of your ride or know where to get one?

Cheers,

PM me your email for the .gpx files for Lorna/Deer/Gun and other rides there.

I did Lorna/Deer/Gun last weekend and there is more snow than usual on the north (up) side of Deer pass but less than one would expect. Funny enough, the snow on the south (descent) side of the pass was more of an impediment. Ps the wildflowers are pretty amazing right now. While you are there, be sure to do the Taylor/Windy/Spruce loop - the Windy descent to Spruce is in the best condition I've ever seen it.

Agree that Option 1 Deer pass is the way to go. Amazing view from the top of Deer Pass… and then a great downhill rip to the valley floor. Payback for the b1tch of a climb/hike to get to the top of Deer…

Amen.

Absolutely true.

…now with sound with majorly stuttering vid feed…..

same, sweet fa here in van. and i've got a fast connection. and two other friends at home are having troubles too - they have nothing now. complete incompetence…. how about some live dry runs before the finals? making sure your servers have capacity so they don't get overloaded? although i'm sure we'll see some excuse later….

hmmm. most of that bike looks like mine (sans the bar and pedals). unsure why the whole spec and pics i posted years ago doesn't show up. and looks like sticker and headtube badge got applied (funny, i still have the headtube badge kicking around that i was about to put on the bike)….

i'm going with …. Evil. Longshot guess? dunno…..
Add one more to the small but talent laden roster.

I live near main and broadway in vancouver.
