  1. I'm currently running a Crankbros Highline 3 150mm with a Wolftooth remote. Got it from Backcountry for $160. The Highline was really simple to install and so far seems to work well although doesn't feel as smooth going up or down as the cheap BrandX's I had on my other bikes. I like the Wolftooth remote, I like the textured paddle and the amount of adjustability. I have the ISpec II mount that gets clamped under the brake lever. The clamp allows for rotational adjustment on the handle bar and also is able to be slid in or out 1/2" by loosening the bearing bolt on the lever.
  2. Yes I did. Wolftooth makes an adapter to allow you to use road derailleurs with MTB shifters. https://www.wolftoothcomponents.com/collections/drivetrain-1/products/tanpan
  3. My experience with Sotol is at first it's pretty interesting, then it starts to get me to thinking this is probably what a dead rotting carcass might taste like. Kinda strange.
  4. Most of the deer here aren't real big. Large dogs.
  5. Smells of desperation to me. No thriving local economy is going to make an offer like that. Anyone thinking of this would be best advised to dig in deep and see what that economy looks like.
  6. Want to but can't. Have a plumber coming in the AM.

    Professional automotive painter for 40 years. Learned on a siphon feed Binks #7 spraying lacquer. The new guns make being an “applicator” almost too easy. There’s a big difference between an applicator and a real painter. Real painters know how avoid and correct a f#ck up. Not knocking any hobby painters. I’ve done a couple of bass guitar full rebuilds with my son. Don’t know how to play but do know how to set one up.

    I've got an Iwata Supernova and an Evotech along with two Devilbiss Tekna coppers that I currently use. Plus a bunch of older guns that are basically outdated for todays urethanes. The Supernova is an awesome clear gun.

    Good choice. Bike frames are not that easy to paint lots of tight areas that are hard to get a conventional spray gun into.

    Nitro lacquer is not that durable. Urethane would be a better choice for a bike frame.
  11. I've seen him too! At the top of the climb by the stores.
  12. Had a pair of them take up residence in my attic. They were not easy to get rid of. Cost me $1300 between two exterminators. They eat lizards, birds and squirrels.
  13. Yeah it's the line to your left when you drop into Picnic. It's directly across the H&B from the bailout. When I first saw it I thought this is a bad idea.
  14. Wait...aren't you a legacy customer with Cambria?🤣
  15. According to some people in very recent times we do🙄
  16. Goddamn it! the bike is Sedona Red not UT Orange!
  17. DVO is a great company to deal with. Like you mentioned when you call them (which is the best way to contact them) an actual person answers. I called them about a broken OTT spring guide I found in my fork when I serviced it and they just sent me a new one no questions or cost.
  18. You guys are so hard to please😂 Nextie AM30 with DT350 hubs.
  19. Drive side for all of you picture snobs!
  20. So Happens It's Tuesday is an awesome beer. One of my wife's favorites.
  21. While we're on the subject I've heard that Evil has an E-bike coming, that they're testing. If I had to guess the name it would be The Fu*kining.
  22. I personally would love to get my hands on an original Harley Davidson bicycle. And yes Harley Davidson has been at the party waaaay tooo long!
