He's an alien, confirmed.

I spent about a year on flats around 2015/16 with good shoes and pedals and never felt as good as I do on clips, which doesn't surprise me considering I've been riding clips since the mid 90's lol

I got some DMR Vaults and some Freerider Pros, wish me luck!

Who knows, but they're staying on until I feel great on them. Could be a week (lol) could be a year.

I am hoping this will help me overcome my largest riding weakness which is jumping, since I think this weakness stems from fear of being unable to ditch the bike in the air if things go... poorly.

Ok. Fuck it. I've been on clipless for like 20 fucking years. I tried a year of flats and only felt "ok" on them.

Next ride I'm putting flats on my bike and they're staying on until I'm confident on them.

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.

No input on the thread, I just want to shout out Josh for being super dependable, reliable, runs a great shop and an all around great guy in my experience :)

I know, I'm just kidding :)

I always thought aluminum was metal.

Interesting.

..Are black people not POC?

Hoooooly

My wife owns her own business and during peak Covid ramp up I was a stay at home dad.

When her business opportunities dried up literally overnight thanks to Covid. We had previously done the 1 important thing that everyone talks about; save several months of expenses in case of emergency. I had a job lined up that unfortunately didn't start for several months during this time so we burned through all of that savings with neither of us working.

Without CERB we most likely would have had to move away from Vancouver, give up my job I had lined up, and move back in with either her or my parents. Both at 39. With a 3 year old.

I don't have anything to add to this thread aside from the fact that I've only heard great things about Sto:lo!
