Still waiting for my new bike. Was told November, then December . Now just about mid January still waiting. Put a deposit on it in Oct.

Currently waiting for the XR model. Was supposed to be here on Dec 9th.

#valleysuckridetheshore  Check out KK today. My buddy has been giving it love for years. A secondary exit and some new features.

Now onto shorts. Been there done that. I pay more for a quality fitting saddle. Shorts for me are DryWear from Mark,s . They did do a bike short. It,s a longer leg as well . Adds some leg warmth for those in shorts all year.

As for the shaving incident LOL . If you road in the early 90,s pretty sure most had that happen LOL. Trimming and grooming works better IMO. Traps some moisture to keep the junk cooler.

Yup huge fan of the longer short. Especially for year round riding. Have the current RF pants. Didn't like them at 1st. Struggled thru, and adapted. They are nice after rain rides. In the rain they get soaked but keep the mud off the legs.

The pad fit designs are limited today. Urge is a brand that uses it as well. They just dropped a new design. Sad part is they don,t ship to North America. Not sure when this started as I have own one of their helmets. MEC used to carry them.

I think this is the 1st Mips design. I would try, no dials or adjusting bands. Slip fit pads that are sizable . Might have to check one out.

This just went to the top of my list. Long time user of this brand

Cool will have to check one out. Relocating in a month or two. So looks like it will be out of Loops for a dealer. Hope they have stock. If not I can order direct thru URGE .

So no Mips or similar?? If so I gotta try one on . I don,t like the retention designs as of late. One of the reasons I still use my URGE. It,s a slip fit design and is very comfy.

Really curious of the age group. That are feeling the affects of these now offensive names. What rock did they just crawl out of that enlightened them?

It,s not just the bike industry. It,s just about ever industry. And if they can provide a product. Some are not allowing in store pick-up. Delivery only. I spent 2 weeks looking for a stacking washer/dryer combo. With delivery dates expected to be mid June. I managed to find a smaller store. They got the order done for me. And I can pick up at the store. We live rural and was not going to pay $300.00 for a delivery.

Going back to bikes, tough times just waited 4 mths for my new bike. Still waiting for the new helmet I ordered as well.

Some products never even shipped in 2020. We where looking for one of those tower patio heaters. I looked at 5 different stores. same response from each store. We put in a order and nothing has shown up. And they have no time frame to receive the product.

Still waiting for mine. Was supposed to be a early Xmas gift. Has turned into sometime in the New Year. I ordered a Marin Alpine Trail XR and upgraded to Code discs. Got new shoes and helmet in the works as well. Too bad I have 8in of snow on the ground.

Now that is how christmas gifts should be done. Well done! Coil shock with a lyric ultimate - that will be banging.

Thanks. I didn't need a new bike LOL . But the $$$ was there so I splurged. Not sure how much it will get used. Starting a house and shop build come thaw.

Full Face for years now. Just ordered a new one with my new bike. Got a new pair of shoes as well. Too bad it,s 6 mths till I can ride again. At least locally , snow has been on the ground a month now. Plus my new bike is not expected till January.

New helmet is the 100% Trajecta. Previous helmets both version of the URGE Arci-Enduro.

My wife's Samsung converts the language during text messages. I have sent her many a message and it switches to Chinese partway thru the message. Frustrating as hell.

Oh hell ya. Nice looking Titan.

I have forgotten to turn the clutch lever ON .Lots of times never dropped a chain either. OneUp oval , OneUp guide, XT rear derailleur , XT chain

Is there a 170mm 44mm 29er Helm? 

I’m thinking of taking a stab at the EXT ERA or the silver crown Formula Selva when it’s released. But the Helm could be a 3rd option. I actually considered it but a 44mm offset wasn’t available at the time of purchase.

Looks like 130/160mm range for the Helm 29er

Riding Spank 395s , 2X lace , 32 hole 29ers. I,m 190+lbs , can,t say I have ever noticed wheel flex.
