Fuck yeah, I may or may not have a C2 on order :)

Jesus christ I have avoided sram brakes for like 15 years pretty much exclusively because of this noise. 

Building my current bike the only brakes I could get my hands on were code RSCs and while the brakes feel good I absolutely hate them for the sound. As dumb as it sounds it honestly really detracts from the enjoyment of my rides way more that it should. 

I need to try some new pads ASAP...

I used to live about 10 blocks away from the aquatic center and I used to think about riding down it in some way every single time I would go by it. I've never seen Wades clip before, so awesome.

On the topic of spy shots and early releases you definitely picked the right mag, cuz a couple weeks ago they leaked a SRAM Gx AXS ad that was still under embargo lol

Holy, I haven't heard the phrase "Hoist by their own petard" since I read it in the Piers Anthony book Killobyte when I was about a dozen years old.

I don't know if I've ever seen such a positive review from Mr Coleman. That's not trying to say anything negative about his reviews as I generally enjoy them very much, but seems like the bike was very well received :)

The amount of CSUs and bushings I've replaced from people who said things like "I haven't serviced it in 3 years and it's still running great!", black oil, torn bladders, bent shims, worn damper and air shafts, corroded lowers from worn out dust wipers, destroyed bottom out bumpers, seized controls, stuck down air springs... and on and on.

Service your suspension folks.

Haven't ridden that in years! Such a great trail!

Those last 2 photos, is that the entrance to Espresso? Last time I saw it the ladder was green, rutted, and slimy and the section where he's standing was just roots and rocks. Oh well, at least the rock line to riders right is still gnarly... right?

Thanks! That's all great info

I'm actually a little surprised that the trolling has gone on for over a hundred pages. 

That's a pretty big commitment tbh.

I've never ridden any of the other trails other than what I listed but I thought both were good trails and worth the climb. I liked the slabs on DC, a few of the big ones you could carry speed in to and air in to the back side which always makes you feel like a rock star, even when riding the trail blind.

I'm bummed the teeter is gone but this is definitely still in the spirit of the trail IMO.

Let's get this year's Whistler valley trails thread going :)

I've never ridden any valley trails and for my first outing my work buddy tried to murder me. Pedaled the first two and then bought a TOTW ticket to do the rest. Was quite the loop for out of shape thaaad...

Nsmb, the (only) independent, locally owned source of MTB infotainment. we're (mostly) friendly here. 

Pretty good slogan but somebody needs to add a like button, stat!

Maybe Nsmb could have some kind of "Rep" button to show approval of a post...?

It's been asked for multiple times and it's not possible with the forum software they're running. There are other options tho.

Like maybe a fucking IGNORE USER option that I've seen mentioned so many times...

We've already seen a couple new assholes in the in the comment section on new articles :/

I bought a Norco Search XR S1 about 8 months ago for commuting / gravel riding.

Removed front mech and put a 42t ring on the front cuz fuck front derailleurs.

Put a frame bag and bar bag on it, full fenders, bell, lights, the whole deal. Been a really great bike. I can't seem to get the fit quite right and I find myself adjusting position quite a lot during a ride. I've had that issue on my last 3 road bikes so I don't think it has anything to do with the Search, just my amateur setup skills I imagine. I would take it in and have it fitted and set up but the whole covid thing has made me hesitant to spend that much time up close with someone indoors.

I'd drop a pic but it's absolutely filthy right now lol. Maybe in a couple days when I have time to clean it up a bit. Overall I love the bike.

So much for my plan of avoiding the bike park, I just won a park day pass through work.
