Someone on here had recommended the galfer green pads for mt5s, and I've had a good experience using them on my MT5 HCs. Another much better option than the stock pads.

Cool to learn about the shiftmix option

Haha, good point. I guess it's just coincidence that the half day I spent in Squamish before mysteriously destroying the front hub on my rental bike was at Alice Lake and some of the trails mentioned were a part of my ride. That being the case, it was probably the best trail system I've ridden and I've been dreaming of it since.

Great write up. Hope Grant is mending up well.

I get the impression that you northshore guys really don't get out of your neighborhood very often. I can see how you wouldn't get the urge with such an amazing backyard, but not being familiar with other world class trails an hour up the road is pretty wild to me.

Hahaha, well done, guys!

Glad I was able to give props before going back to being a Joey

I would guess the ankle zip is to allow the pants to fit over boots

Sure, but how did your descent times compare?

Would be cool to see a review of the pivot switchblade with the Cascade link. I demoed an unmodded version recently during a trip to Phoenix. Was probably the best bike I've ridden, but the poppy/playfulness could be detrimental if your only objective was descending chonk. I wonder if the Cascade link balances that out in addition to increasing travel a smidge.

My wife did a 5 year residency at Mayo Clinic in Rochester. I don't believe she's ever touched a wrench to her bikes other than pumping up her tires once in a blue moon.

NR now makes a lumina 2500, but only lasts 30 min on max output. 216 grams

I'm currently running the Bontrager ion pro rt on helmet and Niterider lumina 1100 on bar. It's a pretty great setup, but always interested in more light and a smoother helmet setup.

I've never used a gobro and kinda lost in all the options for an action cam helmet mount to pair with this Blackburn (or Outbound). Any recommendations?
