serious?

Recognizing that I am a hack, I submit to paying my LBS when time comes to change out the bearings on my Bronson. Thanks for the article!

Except you don't need a battery to open up trails further out. In fact, the battery will die way out there and you'll be riding a 50 lb pig all the way out. 

People need to stop making excuses trying to justify their 'want' of an ebike. Just buy an ebike if you want one. Or don't.

Agreed. Just call them 'bikes' and e-bikes. No need for new terminology.

Thanks for keeping these interesting reads coming.

My buddy wiped out on the road two months ago. Worst of his life. Go easy.

Back when people had three rings up front?

I hear ya. However, there is no getting around the shortcomings of the 11 spd xt cassettes. I always felt like there were weird gaps and I found the gearing awkward. 

Then again I could have weak legs! 

All that being said I am def not looking forward to the day I need to replace my 12 spd xo1.

Agreed.

True. My last bike, '17 29'er Sight C2 is over 33 lbs. My new 27.5 is 30 lbs, 7 oz. The difference, sorry to say, is immediate. 

I really wanted one of the new Sights until I saw that it had been upsized, in terms of travel, length, etc. Add in the weight and it is just too much bike to be my daily driver. Looks sweet, though.

My last four bikes have been new. That said, I only buy a model year old. I just picked up my new bike a month ago for 28% off retail. After selling my old bike, the gap isn’t too bad. Also, I tend to replace my bikes every two or three years so I have time to absorb the expense.

I was in the Victoria location a couple weeks ago and it was shoulder to shoulder busy, their tent prices are awful. Robinsons had everything I wanted but it was disturbingly quiet. :(

Robinsons rules. Its always quiet in there, and yet they remain. MEC = meh

I am also feeling that pain. My Push parts left Colorado Aug 19th. Have been in Vancouver since the 21st.

I just spent a romantic day at the beach with my shiny, $9000 bike.

What he did was legal.
I think baiting is bullshit.
I think the guy in the vid is a severe fuckhead who kills for sport.

Yep.

Finished building my Commencal Meta AM V4:

Nice!

Was up there today in the awful weather. Still had fun. Trails are great and there was zero line. Props to the trail crew!

Last nights show was an amazing experience. Incredible vibe.

Wife and I have our tickets to the Victoria show. Stoked!
