The Best Of Lubes VS The Rest Of Lubes - Jan. 17, 2020, 9:10 a.m.

I ride in the same climate as you, and I have to clean and lube my chain half as often or less since moving away from the Tri-flow. I used to have to do a full clean/lube after nearly every winter ride if I didn't want to feel like I was riding a squeaky mess. When riding on the other side of the mountains, Tri-flow attracts all the sand, and turns my drive-train into a grindy mess.

The Boeing T-9 stuff has cut my required cleaning/lubing intervals at least in half, maybe 2/3s. Way less fussing around.

That frame is gorgeous, I like everything about it except for the kinked seat-tube. In today's long-dropper world, all seat tubes should be straight and uninterrupted, all the way to the bottom bracket.

Does 20mm really change a bike's capability that much? It's only 15% of the travel, compared to the 8-10" you get from knees and ankles. I bet the Druid is pretty perfect for 98.725344% of the trails most of us in the PNW ride regularly.

POC Helmets: Tectal Race Spin and Axion Spin - Dec. 20, 2019, 3:28 p.m.

POC replaced my tectal race spin for roughly 50% off after I broke it. Messing around on dirt jumps on a bmx bike, looped out on the landing, hit the back of my head and cracked the helmet. No concussion.

Fuel efficiency is so hot right now.

Uncle Dave: Saving the world with bicycles! - Dec. 11, 2019, 10:20 a.m.

Yep, systemic change is required.

1. Carbon neutral electric grid.

2. No more fossil fuel heating in buildings.

3. No more fossil fuel transportation.

4. Reforestation.

5. All packaging biodegradable.

etc.

None of these can be implemented by individuals, but all are absolutely required if we want to take a step back from the brink.

I like this one even better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POvXQO7_BXY

Also local. It's pretty fun to see video of someone gapping entire sets of jumps that are already a little intimidating.

They should offer a custom water bottle and/or tube & tool holder to fit into the void on the front triangle.

WTB's New Saddle Fit System - Nov. 13, 2019, 9:21 a.m.

Supposedly, it says I have 127mm sit bones. I'm a little surprised, because I have a giant bottom. It only gives me two saddle options, too, both of which cost $250. Hmmm. I've survived for years without any issues on a WTB volt that I got for $10.

Nevermind, I just realized that it automatically selects the carbon fiber version. Ha!
