That is a shitload of too much rear brake in the first video.

Double Down, though only ridden once. Want to be able to ride up the steps as well as I can ride down them. City Park. Was just too torn up last time I was there. 1/4 Notch-deception reminds me of what it used to be like. Riding through the tree and across the skinny at 1/4 Notch. Only messed it up once, but still happy when I make it across.

Looked at these when I was searching last year. Ended up with YT Jeffsy 29 CF. Couldn't beat price/performance ratio compared to others. Wanted something to replace Yeti 575, something that could climb ok, but with enough squish going down. Current era suspension is SO much nicer than what I replaced. yeti sb5.5 (best at rough climbing vs most other bikes) devinci django yt jeffsy transition smuggler gx carbon marin wolf ridge norco sight c2 29

Firestone seems to be leaving shit there as well. Saw a tire back in the shrubs (walked to check for creek; heard running water there somewhere.

J/K...walked down after beer finished. About 3 dudes down there with power tools and a standup front loader. They looked busy, so didnt bother much more than saying hey.

Maybe not related, but close enough. Anyone doing trailwork next to redhorn? That chainsaw is kind of annoying, can you do it later? Saw a guy cutting close to ground at various spots. I believe this trail is called Suburban Ninja( great beer, btw).

Was at Brushy and someone said they were adding 4 miles to Peddlers and are going to hold TMBRA races there? Uh...wut?

Challenging and INTERESTING. switchbacks, ledges, etc. A nice interesting, challenging climb with some technical features. Roads on a mtb are dumb.

What would be, and this is probably just me thinking it, but if they a "challenging" climbing course under/around the lift, for those weirdos that like to climb, that would be pretty cool. Take the lift or ride up, your choice.

2nd upper chainring has a derailleur, as does the actual crank/chainrings. The only "non-moving" chainring would be the upper to the back wheel (needs to stay where it is or interfere with adjustable chain. So you'd have (guessing) a possible 42 or 34 at crank, possible 12-28 upper gearing and say 12-32 on back wheel. At top end you'd have 42:12:12 ratio and at bottom 34:28:32. I'd say a bit more than just a normal trippel (final gear speed, anyway)

OK, the Ride like a girl video has 6 (now) likes. WTF? That was a great vid! You douchenozzles can't like a video? Also, RidingAgain, I've taken the attitude towards you from others with a grain of salt (or less), but dude, you totally come off a bit dickish to the post about the ARR vids. You posted about a local group that put out a great video on Florida riding, but then bash when someone mentions the same thing going on here. Not cool.

Kill it with fire

Isn't that on the other side of that little creek?

That wasn't mack that said where he was.

Well, excepting the no helmet and wearing jeans, I suppose.

Damn nice bike, Barry! Want to dosomething similar to my Haro Mary SS. Now wishing I hadn't sold the rigid fork.

Quite a bit of my gear comes from there (shorts, helmet, jerseys, shorts, glasses.) I like getting money back from REI, but their selection can be weak. Will miss if our local store closes. https://www.bicycleretailer.com/industry-news/2018/11/15/ase-owner-performance-bicycle-and-asi-file-chapter-11#.W-8A7jhKiUm

Locked should be VERY FIRM when pedaling on street. Should move if you stand and push down really hard.

Just bought a Giro Montero. Not sure what to do with the mountable bracket thing. MY light certainly can't use it for anything.

Nope. Tossed down the well.

Have a pair of cheap jungle boots, size 10W: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FE5QLO/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 NOTE! These run very large (which is why I'm giving them away) Only worn a few times, NO wear at all. Might have spiders (been in garage a while) Might fit size 11-11,5?

Bike skills are overrated. You want to build awesome handling skills? Leave the bike at home and walk the trail.

Might be the culture elsewhere, but not so much here, I think. I've not really encountered anyone bombing 'downhill' on any of our local trails, at least.

That story was...meh. TLDR: "Hey, I started niner bikes and I built an internally geared bike. In Portland, OR." Now, if it had included something about the development, maybe some notes on actual performance or gear range, testimony from riders comparing it to modern systems from the big S's. Now that'd be a story worth reading.

78/100! would've been much better, but on one of the early ones, was thinking subsequent letters were not supposed to infringe on previous letters vertical space. That got me a 19/100...rest were a bit better.
