Have you seen the black sparkly rainbow coloured Liv Hail? I’m jealous.

So what happens to resin only rotors when you put on metal pads?

I totally agree a lock is needed anywhere...  Abus Mini or Kryptonite Evolution Lite for short term, visible locations. Can't be cut with tinsnips but can be defeated in a much more visible manner.    Seeing those tinships slice through it makes ottolock a no-go for me.

My Kryptonite Evolution Lite weighs 2.6 lbs, small enough for a pack.  We have taken these touring in small town Austria with no issues  (not likely a thief hotspot).

“Mountain biking” in the corner of Austria that I’m currently in consists of pedalling on logging roads, gravel paths or poaching hiking trails through cow pastures.   There’s also a bike park that has one long flow trail witha ski lift where the DH crowd hangs thier Leatt braces. 

However, the top of the mountain here is +1300 m vertical from our house and has a patio restaurant (read beer on tap) and 100+ km of Alpine (capital Alps) views on top from 1800 m elevation  

I have a new appreciation for e-bikes. The conventional pedal up would not have left the energy to complete the 38 km ride that climbed the equivalent of Lions Gate Bridge to Brockton Peak on Seymour, then bombing down Mushroom trail or Incline.

In terms of mountain bike specific trails, sea to sky region is heaven on earth.

None of these do-hickies stop my tires from losing air when they sit in the basement.  That's what I'd like to improve on tubeless.

Awe, these are the same comment synchro made in 2008 😗

ohh! smileys work!

welcome back! its awesome to be able to comment on articles without discus

I rode a RF N/W 30T with an old XT derailleur on a hardtail for a while. Occassionally dropped a chain (like 1 in 5 rides when it got bouncy.

Go for a 10 Speed clutch, not just for the chain retention, but for the increased gearing of 36T on the rear, and a quiet drivetrain. The beauty of a quiet drivetrain is often missed in these reviews.

How is the X-sync different than NW??

Besides, X-Sync is already taken by mobile file sharing and photography.

It's old technology in a new application. Free market to use the concept, although I'm sure SRAM's tooth profile is unique and licencable. My RF ring's teeth don't look like a SRAM's though.

Funny that’s exactly where most of the haters would want to see ebikes ridden anyways...   whats the problem?

Today, on the 14 km paved road climb (pedalled my Reign)  to my local Italian DH trail, there were many mtb ebikes bombing down the road, including a top of the line Specialized something.  I was the only one riding the DH trail down.  Hilarious

Legal Schmegal

Laws on paper don't apply on the trails unless someone is going to enforce them

And the enforcers are currently riding e-bikes!  Lol

Navier gets more Stoked the higher up you look.

Venus’ atmosphere rotates sixty times faster than its surface.   Does that help?

Aside, Dark Crystal - whats the best (easiest) way to get to it?

Obviously a lift assisted ebike...

I hope the victim surcharge ends up much higher than the $85 ticket.

I mean watch out when you get out of your car.

Theres a new tarmac pumptrack next to the Spirit trail at Moody & Second. Still fenced off for park construction but looks pretty nice. Bigger rollers than the kids track at IR.

As a father of a 6-year-old it weighs on my mind pretty heavily and like you say, our personal choices won't affect a goddamn thing at this point. I have always thought this needs to be a political fight and it seems like that tide is turning, but even with a herculean effort of the world's governments, we are about to witness something awful. I am willing to give up air travel. I hate flying.

Change happens 1 decision at a time.  Are you driving a car to work today?
