  1. A buddy of mine rode a Transition at Outerbike in 2016. He had no plans to buy a bike, but after that he bought a Transition within a couple weeks. He loves it.
  2. Deception is an example of mtbers putting in trail and now a lot of trail users out there.
  3. I flew international on Delta with a bike. The trip there was OK except for the foot shaped hole in the side of my bike box. On the return trip, it looks like my bike box fell off the luggage tram and was dragged on the tarmac. Fortunately my frame was titanium or it would have been destroyed also. Delta sucked.
  4. WTF is with that? I think a bunch of us here have been in Austin a long time. It wasn't until the last few years that people ask how long you've been here like it's a competition. Who cares?
  5. Just got off the Colorado Trail a couple hours ago. The pic is the TOP of the last climb!
  6. I rode Harriman a long time ago. It was part of a multi-day trip that ended up in Grand Tetons.
  7. Phil's was a blast. Tomorrow I start a 5 day guided trip out of Durango. We start with Hermosa Creek then hook up with the Colorado Trail.
  8. Also, does Osprey have an outlet store in town?
  9. I'll be in Cortez Saturday. How long should I allow for Phil's World? Is Geer worth a warm up ride when I get into town?
  10. Post up if you need help getting this installed.
  11. Ultimately what I was getting at was "we" assume a direction because it's obvious to us. I very politely tried to let someone know it was one way and I was greeted with "who the fuck are you?" That's when I noticed there are numerous entry points with no signage. The most problematic area is the sidewalk. But I've come across people on the other side of Parmer going the wrong way. Makes things kind of exciting when hammering.
  12. That's what I'm trying to get at also. I see people cruise up the concrete path and head out on the trail.
  13. I'm aware of the direction. I've noticed others are not.
  14. Is Peddlers one way? I assume so. Been seeing people go the wrong way and then I noticed there are no signs at entry points indicating direction.
  15. My first mtb had quick release and lawyer lips. I forgot to check the front QR and I was practicing bunny hopping. On my way home I bunny hopped something on concrete paving. Mid air and I noticed my front wheel stayed on the ground. Impact was painful. I've always checked my wheels since then.
  16. I bet a Girvin Flex stem never needed to be rebuilt. I remember riding a sweet Proflex with a Girvin at City Park marveling at all that suspension.
  17. I'm headed to Durango for a 5 day guided trip. We start out at Hermosa and ride some of the Colorado Trail. I'm headed up early and plan on Phil's World
  18. Back in my Ironman days, I found giving encouragement to others actually helped me. You still have a couple weeks to get nutrition dialed in. I found Infinit with a gel pack an hour worked well for me.
  19. I had a road bike frame made with S&S couplers. It fit in a suitcase I could check like regular luggage.
  20. I got a beautiful, lugged steel frame road bike from Bilenky. They also build bikes like what you're looking for.
  21. I think she made all of us out there smile.
  22. 24 Hours of Rocky Hill night lap. I stopped as a huge snake was slithering across the trail. Another rider sees it and hollers out, WOOHOO! SNAKE!" as he bunny hopped it. I guess I did it wrong.
