  1. I'll put this up here. Have the original Alex 700C wheel set that came on my Kona. I'd let go cheap. $50. Comes with cassette and rubber, rear tire is worn though.. 12x142 rear 12x100 front.
  2. Are those the Spyres? I have those on my Private Jake they work fine but they do need constant adjustment as the pads wear. Wondering if better pads might help.
  3. I'm just hoping my cats don't wind up eating me😬
  4. Yeah I understood. Just posted that because if there are two strains of virus the numbers will be skewed.

  6. I had heard this a few days ago. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2236544-coronavirus-are-there-two-strains-and-is-one-more-deadly/
  7. Starting today shelter in place for me and the wife. One of the issues with this though is that it's going to split families all over. We have our adult kids over for a Sunday meal every week. Moving forward I've expressed to the wife that Sunday meals are going to have to be put on hold until further notice. Let's just say that she was not happy with this. It's going to be hard if anyones loved ones become ill with this and we're helpless to give them care basically leaving them to fend for themselves. The sad truth is that we're going to have to take these steps to help slow the spread.
  8. Interesting article. As a global society we need to work together instead of trying to lay blame for this. If we can't work together globally this is going to stay around for a long time. Making public references and calling names is not the answer. We're going to need help from everyone to get this under control. Time will tell and we're going to see what the human race is really like. I truly hope that we band together instead of trying to pretend everyone else is an enemy. https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/latamcaribbean/2020/03/18/cuba-and-coronavirus-how-cuban-biotech-came-to-combat-covid-19/
  9. Just a heads up Whitestone brewery will start doing home delivery of there beer for those who might run low
  10. I'm curious as to what might happen in the great prison system our country has considering we have the highest incarceration rate of any country. Iran recently released 85,000 prisoners. Who knows how this might play out. Once this virus gets into the prison population the numbers are going to explode.
  11. I know many think that we are overreacting to this. I believe that this overreaction combined with a little common sense for those who have will go a long way in slowing down the spread of this. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst.
  12. He keeps them in his hydration pack
  13. Thats pretty encouraging. Thanks!
  14. I think a good measure that the local and federal governments might want to implement is Odd/Even days for people to shop for essentials (some of us here might remember this method for getting gas during the "70's gas shortage). I think something like this would greatly reduce social contact and help to not overburden the supply chain. They could use your address number as a way to determine your day. Of course I know there might be some glitches in this but pretty sure as a society we could find a way to make this work.
  15. Thanks for the insurance heads up👍 So far from what I'm gathering this coronavirus is pretty tenacious. This is from the CDC website. Sorry not CDC Harvard health.https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=4&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjt6LDEzaboAhWBmeAKHQeMBkoQFjADegQIBBAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.health.harvard.edu%2Fdiseases-and-conditions%2Fcoronavirus-resource-center&usg=AOvVaw1Dxjj9snrsPcAt-fg2E11J How long can the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 survive on surfaces? A recent study found that the COVID-19 coronavirus can survive up to four hours on copper, up to 24 hours on cardboard, and up to two to three days on plastic and stainless steel. The researchers also found that this virus can hang out as droplets in the air for up to three hours before they fall. But most often they will fall more quickly. There's a lot we still don't know, such as how different conditions, such as exposure to sunlight, heat, or cold, can affect these survival times. As we learn more, continue to follow the CDC's recommendations for cleaning frequently touched surfaces and objects every day. These include counters, tabletops, doorknobs, bathroom fixtures, toilets, phones, keyboards, tablets, and bedside tables. If surfaces are dirty, first clean them using a detergent and water, then disinfect them. A list of products suitable for use against COVID-19 is available here. This list has been pre-approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for use during the COVID-19 outbreak. In addition, wash your hands for 20 seconds with soap and water after bringing in packages, or after trips to the grocery store or other places where you may have come into contact with infected surfaces. Last but not least yes I realize that information is erroneous and apologize to the community.
  16. I run DMR Vaults with Ride concepts Livewires. I really like the Livewires and they're holding up well. They fit really good and are super comfortable. Was on Freerider VXI's but needed something to replace my freeriders and decided not to go with 5-10 due to too many reports of the newer Addidas ones not being as durable as the pre Addidas era and the fact that they cost somewhere around $150. Got the Ride Concepts from Jenson with a 20% off coupon, only cost $80 delivered.
  17. Very good point about casual bikers. I've seen many people on bikes that are definitely not meant to be on trails. I've seen people on road bikes attempting to ride SN and 1/4 Notch. Could possibly be these types of people modifying trails.
  18. Yeah I get the same message every time I try to upload from my computer. I stopped uploading because of it. I don't have the ambition to upload through a third party. Running Mac OS.
  19. ??? somewhat incoherent reply but...whatever. I realized my mistake . You believe whatever you want.
