Lol, I didn't build that teeter for DH racerheads.   #trailsforall?

Hmm do tell...   are you talking bikes included in the home policy without paying extra insurance riders?

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??

Not local but you can’t beat the alps or dolomites for views.  A gravel road or gondola up to the peak of most mountains with a restaurant/bar at the top.   BC’s wilderness is awesome but we certainly lack in amenities our peaks.   

How is the S2S gondola doing?  That and P2P are the only comparisons I can think of, but they are both overcrowded due to the scarcity of similar attractions.

Because we respect other users of the forest Mic. 

Given the repeated sightings of a black bear on the western flank of Mount Seymour, and his interest in mountain bikers, we're asking people to choose a different spot to ride for a bit here. This bear is accustomed to people, and needs some space during this pre-winter period if he's going to survive his biggest threat; humans. He has most recently been sighted in the area between the top of Hyannis Drive, and the top of TNT; please see Trailforks for the area we're asking that riders avoid. We'll keep people updated via social media and Trailforks as the situation evolves. Please message us, and North Shore Black Bear Society with any sightings. For more info on how to behave and safely coexist with these awesome creatures, please have a look at: https://northshorebears.com/education or ask one of our trail builders, we just did a training session with the society!

See Trailforks for the list of closed trails, with a note on each one for the reasons. Thanks for giving Bruno some space and respecting the closures

12 people climbing it at one time just shows we need more non-secret black diamond climbing trails

Membership numbers drive success with advocacy work.  The land manager needs to hear from the people.

They sit by the side of the road and get out the cell phone till a nice canadisn offers to help.

45 y.o. Guy #1, flat on the side of the road on a 26” mtb with schraeder. I ended up taking the tube out of D’s wheel and swapped his out 20 km up a highway to the lake (long story). He was trying to arrange a vehicle pickup because he had no idea or tools to change a flat.

16 y.o. Kids half way up a 10 km, 900 m elevation road up a mountain, they had a 2€ pressurized foam in a can type repair kit but no patch, tube or pump. I lent him my pump to no avail but no way waa he getting my spare tube as I was solo night riding an unknown trail

Oh, the cafe is at the top of the 10 km mtn climb and it sells beer. We suck in that aspect.

Cyclists (road & mtb) in Italy cant believe I carry a spare tube. And a pump!  And I carried Stans sealant from Canada in my bike bag??  Crazy!

Best of luck riding up Pangor, I heard the trials moto guys even had a real hard time trying it.  

Moar downhill drops and rock pitches on trails, problem solved.
