As usual, RA posts a link with no real commentary, and then goes off and plays on his Nintendo for a while. "Thought it might be a good start for a thread" - why not tell us which wheelset you are considering trying them on, etc? Bear in mind I have you blocked, so I'll look tomorrow for this:
-
Reimer's is closed if anyone is thinking of heading out there. Dammit.
-
I'm gonna argue that on a 1Up, this takes time. Those wheels are tightly cranked in there. Not impossible, but this current gang is whipping these bikes of racks in mere seconds. I wonder if they are going to risk it taking minutes.

Not you! I was referring to the blocked post between us. -
Oh, do piss off. Hey, are you one of these people who likes to have the last word?
-
I was thinking about that today. I bet an angle grinder would make short work of a one-up wheel lock, but (a) would make some noise, and (b) would likely slice off a spoke. Given that these thefts are high-end, I wonder if they might be wary of taking out a spoke.

Sure the creak is not you? How many miles do you have on you?
-
We rode 20+ miles out of Red Horn -- almost no water except for the creeks.
-
Sometimes, it's all in the title: "Since The Subject of an Austin MTB Print Magazine Has Come up" 'Come up' by whom, we might ask? Well by the original poster, who posted it in the third person, and then continued to post as though he/she/it were not the originator of the ridiculous thread. Issues, indeed.
-
There is very little printed material at South By these days. Pretty much just the film and music guides. The days of a gimme bag stuffed with paper media are well and truly over.
-
I'm wondering if the first letter of each word will be capitalized, much like the title of this thread. Reading too much clickbait? <cue four more blocked replies>

Best McLeod for central Tx rocky soil

If we come help, do we get to ride it with you? -
Tribute ride at Walnut Creek for Paul Corr
TAF replied to Yosmithy's topic in Mountain Biking Discussion
A decent fellow - I had to evac him out of Flat Creek midway thru a lap after he face-planted pretty badly, so I knew him to say hi to. He was often out at Walnut. -
Both - what did you end up riding?
-
I see our loquacious friend has already posted five times since I posted ... you'd think his time would be better spent penning volume one of the print edition -- he could probably knock it out in a day!
-
I look forward to seeing it in my local bike shop, along with the other magazines I don't buy. When will you be starting work on this project?
-
Probably justifying why someone else should lose 100 grand in a mountain bike print publication.
-
Might be worth riding CP at random times to try and catch em in the act. I'm happy to throw in a ride or two out there.
-
Or maybe the BCCP logo, a picture of a big black fence, and "IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT" in big lettering.
-
As have I - it's attached to my shoe, so I don't have to remember to put it on, and it also displays my blood type, which is of the rare variety. Buy one, people.
-
Tartiflette is kind of fondue meets gratin potatoes - great with ice cold, crisp white wine. I doubt you'd commonly find it in Parisian restaurants, but if you do, I bet it'll be good.
-
If anyone's had a bike lifted in the past few months, this might be worth following up on: https://www.kxan.com/news/crime/austin-man-accused-of-participating-in-organized-crime-ring-of-bicycle-thieves/?fbclid=IwAR38_MI2X2Ly2dp5NrlOX-IdhQAXXt8JeobLq_U5IjhpdKbybAvIfvp6D1E

Loaner ... or rainmaker?
-
Surprised RA hadn't already done so ... but over here.

I have been rather enjoying the Maxxis Rekons - I have 27.5 x 2.8 on my Tallboy, and 29 x 2.6 on my Chumba Stella. Solid grip on the local chunk, and no sliding on cornering. Short-cutting on the road. or some EB 360 riding? Oooph, that's a bit of a workout.
