Pretty funny and for sure concerns about "street cred" is why I asked. Gotta keep it real I will go with the paint and zip ties and see who gets huffy about it.

Thin zip ties instead of wires? I mostly just don't want to go to the hardware store. Gotta try some of these. I tried out the semenuks but they were too thick. I have been using the raceface love handles lock on(they were on blowout and are yellow!) and I love how small in diameter they are but the double clamp leaves more grip outside of my hand than I would like. I might try those renthals.

Doctors are seeing more and more bros suffering from accute over-stoke. That's why we've created a revolutionary treatment called Bro-tamp. If you find yourself starting each sentence recalling a corner or feature and involuntarily raising a hand for high-fives in your sleep ask your doctor and find out if bro-tamp is right for you. 

Side effects include excessively clean drivetrains and obsessive analysis of suspension graphs. Do not use bro-tamp to reduce the size if your positive spring or if you have been using CBD aka fake weed.

Cool! Thanks for the chat I am going to speed up my fork and maybe just get the coil thingy and go for 150. Also lots of cowboys here in Oregon. I once was heckled while riding to a trail from a passing pick up truck: " Git a horse!"

Its the 2020 29er. Do you mean the fork needs to be set firmer and faster when overforking or just in general when compared to the shock?

Ive also toyed with the idea of doing the coil conversion on the fork which would mean going to 150.

I have a process 134 that I am running a marzfoxy z-1at 140. The bike rides so good that my original overfork plan has gone out the window. I have not had the chance to take it out on the local steep an gnarly yet so that could change but the cornering is so good stock I cant do it.  Anyone overforked a 134 yet? 

Also any special treatment for the rear suspension when overforking ie: more air/tokens?

I have the new Process 134 and its similarly speced with the 51mm fork. I was really tempted when upgrading from the stock Pike select fork to get the short offset. The bike rides so well as is so I just kept it that way. Cool story huh.

Cycling is full of these dorping allegations these days. Who is at falt?

Must be an American institution,  some of our finest public self-servants are alumni.

I have heard that due to atmospheric pressure none of the membranes work well under 1000ft/300m of elevation. 

Is this clown college info? 

The guy who said this was a bit of a clown.

Those will not work or they might. No tubeless bead on the tire. Its not worth the hearing loss...or worse.

I live in Oregon were mtn biking is still a fringe sport and much of our "good" trails (especially near portland) are less than legal and secret within the small group who built and maintain them. Strava ruins these trails by bringing out the crowds. Especially now with travel restrictions and people looking for close to home shreds. I build and ride in a little secret spot near my house and lo and behold there are lots of new faces over the past few months. I politely ask any new folks to turn off strava. The best part is 80% of riders say " whats strava?".

92 Brigestone mb-3 that I bought a size too big because I might "grow into it". I never did. My next bike was GT Avalance LE and it fit great!

Find a shop with some non-alcoholic people with gray hairs that still ride. I know that is a high bar in the bike industry. Also a shop that has been around for a long time in a market with competition. 

And once you do find it dont go in and complain about the price because "we are building a vacation home" or "our kids are in college".  The list goes on of insulting rich guy excuses I have heard for paying the pittance we charge for primo work on the $10000 toys these guys can barely ride. Also a big fat $$ tip goes way farther than the sixer if PBR some people think is a good tip.

Ps I work at a shop if you did not guess already.

Now imagine those idiots armed to the teeth. Thats amerika my Canadian friends. 

Displaying a gun or threatening to get yr gun is playing the facist rednecks favorite game here in the states. 

I ride all over rural Oregon (aka Trumpistan) and have never felt a gun would make me safer in fact probs would be the opposite. A big smile a a "howdy yall" does wonders.

Its all about maintenance and massage in my opinion. Most of the surgeries limit your range of motion so I quickly ruled those out. Find a really good massage therapist and get a massage ball and foam roller to hit the hot spots. My experience is that the structure around the injury is causing the pain due to guarding. Strength and range of motion are your best bets imho. The first 2 years suck but them its manageable.    Good luck!
