Pretty cool that Rachel is so good she can get top spot with a 12th place finish. Lol. I think someone made a typo.

Check out what Dirt.Mpora.com has to say. Trek doesn't sound to happy about this at all. Fairclough is too classy for Specialized.

dynamite shack for keepin the dynamite dry. that or it was built by garden gnomes that decided garden life wasn't for them.

Curious what Specialized frame you had and why it needed to be warrantied? Possibly PM?

Nice enduro by the way.

The wife, myself and a few friends decided to go ride motorcycles in Vietnam.  Good times were had. If you want a sense of adventure, are somewhat interested in seeing Vietnam and love to ride motorcycles...I'd say its money well spent. 7 days of riding, a Honda CRF250l and all your food for $1500 USD. We followed it up with some beach time in Thailand. Excellent vacation to say the least.

Here's a little vid

He maybe , but when you look at the 3 big companies you mention , they spec a lot of their bikes with their own HOUSE !!! brand parts . So they are not buying stems , bars , saddles and seat posts, and such for most of their models as it,s a house spec item .

My $6000 Kona came with a Kona brand stem perfect example .

not that I went through every model, but it seems YT uses a lot of RF and Renthal.

The model in the OP only uses a Sram derailleur and shifter.

It sure is impressive the value that YT is offering when one looks at their part spec…

Was going to go clear them today but ended up clearing trees in Bert Flinn.

Like you say, the eastern most part of Franks has snow, but I noticed tire tracks on Sunday, that weren't there Sat. Id say its somewhat rideable.

BBT looked very good.

Harbour Freight usually has their ultrasonic cleaners go on sale pretty often and end up being pretty cheap. Seems they are on sale right now, although I think I've seen them go on sale for cheaper.

Shuttle trail clearing. If there's a ton of trees likely easier to start from top and work your way down. My knees would hate me if I hiked up and back down. I'd help too but sadly I'm at work.

You riding the new enduro Jerry? If so how are you like that? I'm loving the idea of a longer travel trail bike. It's also on my short list. Hate the color Canada ended up getting though.

The slayer is on my short list of bikes I'm currently interested in. While I don't doubt the thing is great when pointed down, I'm curious how it is climbing? I'm a pretty weak climber as it is so while I'm willing to lose some advantage climbing for a great downhill am sled I don't want to be totally screwed.

Maybe I should just get in your buyers list as that yeti looked awesome too.

Maybe move the topic here…..

this really should be in another thread, but I think the news reported a 10 car pile up on the freeway and a fire as a cause for their extra time to get there. Also roads were cited as being still in a crappy state. Totally sucks that he had to wait though.
