My package didn't work for me, Lululemon athletic does though

My new move for winter has been wearing a pack, which these days seems like the least cool thing to do. But when I pull out a puffy, spare gloves, toque, lights, etc... Makes me glad I'm not going minimalist like in summer!

Then all the friends that would rather freeze or wear too much then have nowhere to put things because they wouldn't be caught wearing a pack are jealous lol

Edit, also doubling up with nitrile or latex gloves from your first aid kit or whatever is a good way to beef up your gloves in a pinch, I've been putting them on the outside of regular bike gloves in downpours, lose a little grip but dry hands are nice, seen people putting them as the first layer too but haven't tried myself

Careful with what you stash in those elastic side pockets, lost a multi tool out of there. Added another Velcro strap around that part so it doesn't happen again.

I now fit ; zip ties, tire plugs +poker, quick link, multi tool, patch kit, 27.5 tube in mine.

This could be easier to operate with frozen numb hands too

I stick a retracting cable ski lock in my bag sometimes, smaller and cheaper than this

3rd choice=clip in

Part of why I've switched to clips lately is my last pair of five tens wore out

Pure fan vote, then we'd end up with a popularity contest.

Also I don't think transparency would help with anything,  would only help the angry internet mobs single out who 'robbed' their favourite rider and make being a judge even less appealing. 

Do you think the judges would change their scores if they knew they were being published? The only change they would make would to be going against their judgement and score a popular rider higher to avoid scrutiny. 

And the judging panel is fair, how can you expect the most experienced (and willing) judges for an American event to not be mostly American.  Lots of American riders get 'robbed' but fairclough gets the label of most robbed this year because his run was unique (hard to compare against the others) and he's a very popular rider so lots of out cry from fans. 

I think it works pretty well considering its a near impossible event to judge.

Never heard of doing that before, have you ever changed a flat with it? Must take forever from zero psi.

Seen 2 broken hangars in the past year, not a lot but having one would save you from having to coast wherever you are.

No derailleur hangar? Mine is zip tied and taped to my seat rail, can barely even see it but nice that it's there, and I'm never going to forget it

I think about 80 but some is work

The other week it snowed a lot up there so obviously makes sense if it's completely unrideable, don't know about today it was really cold and barely anyone in the park.

Closed today, maybe snowed last night I think it's probably a day by day basis with the weather.

If you can figure out vehicle(s), a point to point from Roberts Creek to langdale on 103/102 is a good time

Ask Off The Edge in Sechelt for recommendations there's always new trails or updates happening on the Coast

I thought that too, making a little zig zag there around the mud wasn't very flowy

Maybe not available in all markets? Who knows... 

I see it here too https://r2-bike.com/MAXXIS-Tire-Minion-DHF-29-x-250-WT-3C-MaxxGrip-TR-EXO

I have DHF exo 27.5x2.5 3c maxx grip front and rear on my bike. I think they're listed right around 1000g maybe a little under. Don't know if that combo comes in 29 or not.

They're starting to wear out I should keep my eyes open for them again, just looked and tbsbikeparts.com doesn't have them now. Edit:CRC does.

And I don't see the same combo in 29 on the maxxis website, lame!

'Supergravity' casing ultra soft magic Mary lists at 1160g for 29. Too bad they don't slap that on the snakeskin casing, I found the orange 'soft' compound not good enough.

I rode until 3, it was pretty wet but whatever always fun

DHR's are $50 @ CR right now depending on the size you're after and there are similar deals at other online shops

Tbsbikeparts.com often has good deals on maxxis, and they're based in Kelowna I think so fast shipping and no weird duties n stuff.

The mud at Creekside is something else. It's not mud, it's like the devil's sludge that gets into every crevice and pivot. My poor bike and asscrack, lmao.

Attempting to ride Sabretooth after a rain is almost a suicide mission. But it beats the fire road any day. That road is responsible for most of our tire issues this year. 

anyone know if there any plans to build a blue trail on creekside to bypass the fire road?

Mid guard is a blue that gets you to creek without going on cross roads, starts higher up though
