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.

any size wheels you want, but you'll pay for it. hoe-lee.

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?

Can we save the hate for the ebikes? Were are trying to save the planet here.

The number of ebikes and electric scooters in downtown Oslo was incredible   Hardly any car traffic after you add in the tram and busses and pedestrians.

Pro tip: Victoria to Port Angeles ferry.

Wow, what a grump.  Lol

Bingo, give the LSCR Seymour Valley trailway a spin. 10k of beautiful pavement with gravel options on the side   You can ride right to the Seymour lake dam

Both NV and Van are getting better and better bike paths (road) every year.  Often you can pedal over a bridge quicker than you can drive.
