2 minute expert, love it! More pls

Steep seat angles are a bit of trade-off though, as it shortens your seated reach considerably.

Whoever decided to change the logo to SHRED needs to be fired from a big cannon.

Go the other way? Pick yourself up a less capable bike, and ride that on rides with your girl. 

I've done this quite a bit, worked out really well.

This is the greatest idea in the history of mtb.

9, taping rocks. ★★★★★

Wow, stoked to see the "One Dolla" guy from Hawaii in Matt's Murrica video! I wonder how they connected?

For as many years as I've been riding I've irrationally lusted after what ever model of bike Wade Simmons is on…and here we go again. The smoothness just goes right into my brain!

Actually, after running a 35 carbon bar for a few weeks I'm surprised to say that my hand pain issue is totally gone. 

35mm is a shit show, but if you're having pain from say the stock aluminum 35 bar that came on your bike and don't want to swap out to a 31.8 stem and bar, a 35mm carbon bar might be the secret magical rainbow unicorn you need.

Just catching up on the coverage this morning. The numbers are truly terrifying. 3' of snowfall in a day with near hurricane winds. 10ft drifts, folks furiously shoveling to avoid being trapped in their homes. I hope there is no loss if life. Be safe St John's.

I hope it's a huge beast with doctahawk geometry, simply so I'm not tempted to buy it.

If they make something with around 110-120mm of super progressive rear suspension and reasonable head tube, like 65 or so, my wallet will be dead. Like basically a super hardtail. Ugh I hope that's not what it is. It's be like a $6000 tractor beam.. lol

Ditto. I can feel the gravity already

Thanks, those Onion talks are hilarious 😂 Such a refreshing parody of that nauseating pretentious speaking style. 

It would be appropriate to do a deep dive of "Ducks go Quack, Chickens go Cluck" by following it up with "But what does the Fox say?" Even bigger self important pregnant pauses followed by nothing that required a pause.

"Tying your Shoes" would be a good one, except there's already been an actual TED Talk on that.

Currently happily using a Lyzyne Sport Drive HV, the cheapie plastic model. Inflation time seems fine, filled 2 tires at trailhead couple days ago fast enough no one in group had to wait. Light enough that it's not noticeable in pack. 

Stopped putting pumps on my frame after getting corrosion in a high end Lyzyne and Specialized pump. One Up pump seems well sealed, might be ok. Weighs a shit ton and costs 3 times in comparison to the cheapie plastic Lyzyne and performs basically the same function though.

Co2 cartridges suck to use, besides the waste. You only get one shot at it and then you're walking down the mountain. Slow leak or anything other than a 100% sealed tire and you're fucked. Even with a whole bag of them or a group all carrying them you're still walking at some point. Had to use them for XC racing and triathlon for years, outside of a race setting where I had no choice I just can't see it.

I'm not sure I'd want a steeper seat angle for my size/body type - I'm 5'11" on a large Ripmo AF. I don't have super long legs but climbing tight switchbacks my knees nearly hit the bars with the seat about the middle of the rails. I'd need 490-500 reach with a 78 degree STA to have a reasonable ETT, or slide the seat way back which kinda defeats the purpose.

That's the thing with extreme geometry right? You still need to, like, ride the thing.

Arsons playing a part.

I'm unfamiliar with annual numbers but if 50-85% of Bush fires are arson and we can agree, then we do. Those are %s from a quick search.

Widespread ason was quickly disproved as a conspiracy theory perpetuated by climate deniers and bots.

That's the trouble with blindly hoovering this crap up from questionable sources.

Whats troubling is how interestingly it all went down when one takes a step back. For half a week reports of arson and people being charged with offense's circulate and then within the span of 16 hours roughly "its all" disproven and shit like the last few pages happens. So there's that trouble and then the trouble of those who blindly believe the disproof. So really, it's all the same and no reason to get that bent out of shape about.

Holy shit. You still haven't checked in with any sort of reality on this have you?

Just heartbreaking. We've lost a Canadian legend. RIP Neil Peart, thank you for the soundtrack of our youth.

Early 80's Vancouver sounds like Rush in my mind. Still love the band and listen to them regularly. Zeppelin of Canada.

Was running some ODI Elite Pros lately, (same as Flows but with palm padding on front).

Along with DMR Deathgrips these are generally reviewed as best grips on the market. I'd concur with a double shaka rating for both 🤙🤙.

One thing with the ODI is you effectively lose 10mm bar width on each end due to the flange. Palm padding doesn't perceptively affect grip thickness. Compound is soft, though harder than DMR race compound.

Both great, but for my 780 bars I prefer the DMR's. Also, maybe better for carbon bars since the the DMR's are hammered on and stay in place with less reliance on the clamp. Just finished my 2nd pair of DMR's. Next pair for longevity I'm going for soft compound rather than race.
