  1. I'd like to roll the dice on that but its such a crapshoot. How many times and any advice?
  2. I'd do the same for sure. Biggest frustration is just how uneducated the employees are on company policy, and that goes for businesses outside of the airlines as well. Try getting a price matched at blowes or the home despot sometime. Shipbikes has been the cheapest way for me to send stuff. I use them for freight on just about everything i can. It's essentially access to a fed ex commercial account for a fee. Looked at bikesflights but they were out of their minds. Sentinel + EVOC bag and gear was just under 70lbs so that has been the biggest issue for buddy flying on delta.
  3. Have a buddy who travels with Delta for work and uses trips/points to take is XL sentinel in a EVOC XL bag. He says after all is said and done, it's not worth dragging the bike on an airline as there is always some sort of lack of understanding of fees and charges between employees and airports. He now just rents demo bikes or ships through fex ex beforehand. We're trying to plan a trip to Quebec next summer using our miles on SWA. Unfortunately southwest has the crappiest provisions for taking bikes on a plane and any average sized MTB will never meet the linear inch requirements. We're probably just gonna do the box/ship thing from kinkos to kinkos through shipbikes.com. I can buy three boxes for the price of one EVOC bag and shipping will be cheaper than the $1K + for tickets on an airline that accepts larger bikes, and then still having to haggle at the counter. F@ck the airlines. https://www.shipbikes.com/

    Been a month without booze and it has its moments😁 Make sure that road cassette fits the hub on 3.30HD correctly, as chief just found out road cassettes are slightly wider than MTB causing the lock ring not to thread in.
  6. I say if no mods will check him, then at least give us some neg prop/downvote the share the love

    Talk to chief about MTB/road cassette issues. He just went down this road with his Jake.
  8. The ability to also down vote a thread or post would be epic😉
  9. Found the Mattoid on Stanhope's podcast. Always brings a smile😁
  10. My money is on victim of love.

    When I was looking to swap drops on that Jake, those conversion levers were the best bang for the buck. Plus I got to keep the 40t for the MTB trails.
  12. This new BKXC video has us planning another trip to MSA next summer. There's so much good stuff to ride around QC now!
  13. "I got two words for Don Henley--Joe Fucking Walsh--okay? Thanks for calling, Don. How long's your pony tail now, okay? -D. Leary"
  14. Rickles is always music to my ears. Especially anything from the 70s when the gloves were off.
  15. He's all about teh calories, not THC.
  16. Wife and I went hard in WV so been on the wagon for a little over three weeks. Gonna try and keep the momentum going until the banduro. After that, it's "no remember November" 🤣. On the bright side, lost 5lbs just from not drinking. Been grabbing these at specs for the old man aches.
  17. the only thing he loves more than attention, are snacks.
  18. On the punk tip. How in the f@ck did i miss this show ?? More of this on the double

    Ive been really happy with MRP and absolute. Works has been getting most of my business as of late What are you looking for?
  20. Beat the shit out of my EXs on several bikes including my old cross bike that had 38c tires on it. That cross bike spent most all of its time on MTB trails, including the brusy creek stuff with many trim strikes without any dents. Came up short on one bunnyhop and my brand new MK3s looked like this. The 2.35 EVO racing ralph tire was completely fine, thats how soft those MK3 hoops are.
