I wasn't familiar with swrve.us but now I am!

I just looked up the Look X-Track pedals. They make different versions for different things, including a larger platform (XT Trail style) for trail riding and an even bigger one for Enduro (though this closer to a bigger XT pedal than a fully caged DX). https://www.lookcycle.com/en/mtb-pedals/

One of those wave generators in Squamish would be awesome, put it near Nexen beach. Run it all summer from like 6am-noon then switch it off 12-4 to make room for kiteboarding. Then 4-8 for an afterwork session.

The link in the article for the cranks isn't for the ones pictured. https://shop.fullspeedahead.com/en/type/cranksets/afterburner-modular-crankset-1x-4317

I don't remember this being that big of a deal. 130-135? That's 2.5mm on either side - a steel frame can easily handle that...

Now that would be considered a daily driver fatbike.

Let me preface this by saying I've been guilty of all these:

Super short chainstays on every size. Tiny people riding 29ers with 800mm bars and/or insanely stiff carbon wheels. Tall socks. Going back to fanny packs and strapping tons of stuff high up on your bike. Guys who wear $600 carbon helmets but no other protective gear in the bike park. Changing standards that make high end bikes nearly obsolete every two seasons.

I got the G16. I got an 83mm axle from RF to convert my cranks so all good there. I'm running a CCDBACS. I'm not ready to deal with a coil just yet.

Mojo version. Extra longest to run as a 29/155. Roughly the same size as the XL Evolink but an even slacker head tube and a 42mm offset Lyrik. Let the sciencing begin!

Just tell them you want to build a condo tower without adding to local municipal capacity for infrastructure, schools, emergency services or transit. I'm sure they'll fall over themselves to issue a permit.

I won't ever buy another Pole but thanks for thinking of me. I have a Geometron in the mail so we'll see how that goes. I think there's more to pedigree, impeccable manufacturing and the slacker HTA+reduced offset than the machining innovations from Pole. I'll let someone else guinea pig that $5000 frame.

Very nice. I was looking at these too but between needing a bigger size, the price and them not wanting to ship to NA, it was kind of a foregone conclusion. 

I guess fancy aluminum is back on the menu!

I preferred this conversation when I just got to flap my gums and not have to follow through or whatever with all these details.

It would be a huge bummer to smash into someone at full John Deere speed. The rider would probably come away mostly unscathed but the hiker would get wrecked. Mountain bikers are used to crashing and getting banged up. A clueless hiker probably not so it'll be a huge deal. Not only do you have to deal with the impulse to yell at them but now you have to be supportive and helpful. Maybe a couple of additional signposts just in case - it'll be easier to make our case for MTB DH primary on some trails (and in hiker-biker interactions on the trail) if the signage is unavoidable. Maybe there needs to be a second sign a bit up from the bottom that says "Seriously do not do this. Bikes come down here at 30km/h+ and will turn you or your dog into red mist. Please use another trail." I think most hikers just haven't thought through just how brutal a head-on collision would be.

Great. Loved mine.

Saw these on PB: https://www.redmonkeysports.com/collections/klampz-lock-ons/products/klampz-lock-on-silicone-grips?cmpid=PBgiftguide18&variant=11405947732083

It'll be interesting to see where these STAs land. My Evolink is around 78 effective that feels really good on steep climbs. For a taller rider it just makes sense because that higher saddle height needs to be mitigated. But it does feel a little odd on flat ground - luckily I don't ride much of that. Because of that tall saddle height a degree means a significant ~1" difference in fore-aft position. At some point pedalling ergonomics will suffer but so far that hasn't been the case.
