Reveille Peak is having a festival for the eclipse, have heard they got a permit for 100k, who knows how many will show but dang. Going to be in Leakey for it, not looking forward to the craziness.

Awesome price, but would bin that drivetrain, nx is pretty bad. Leaves you with a hg freehub, so could go shimano linkglide or Microshift looks good as well!

Sorry to hear about the health troubles. This got me to schedule a doctors appointment and blood draws. Wishing everyone good health going forward!

Spoke to Fox, they said 2019 X2 is one of the most reliable shocks they have ever produced. Looks like 2021-2023 X2 had issues.

Thanks for the info, have a 2019, looking into this.

Were you out there today? Was wondering if it is rideable?

I had to look up the travel on Rockshox Indy and I found this, would also like to check out that trail again on modern suspension.

How are the conditions? Looked wet and foggy earlier in the week up top.

Forest Ridge was so good, might have heard about some “friends” that did some secret rides out there with a get away car, lol. I had that MTB booklet, well a photocopy of it, but as a kid that thing was amazing, can’t find it for the life of me. Remember it listing where to swim nearby after the rides. Good luck with that nowadays.

My first real MTB bike was a ‘94 rockhopper, lived by City Park and rode it rigid all the time (was a dumb teenager though). Was a big deal when at Christmas I got a Rockshox Indy fork. Made city park life so much better. Cantilever brakes were the weak link.

I live in Mueller and we got pummeled last night. Worst hail storm I have ever been through and I have been through a lot. Sounded and felt like mortars were hitting our building. It was like a heavy rain shower but baseball sized hail. Neighborhood is a mess. Both our cars are most likely total losses. Luckily our windows didn’t get destroyed like a lot of our neighbors. Gonna miss rides until car situation gets sorted and it will be slow, walking around and any car parked outside has massive damage.

My first real trail ride was at Forest Ridge as well! ‘94 on my Rockhopper. Rode up from bull creek. It was such a great trail and had good elevation. Crashed into barbed wired and got a cut on my stomach. Luckily had my tetanus shot before that. Loved that trail. RIP. Still ride once in a blue moon over at St. Ed’s.

I think on Shimano brakes you are supposed to open the reservoir whenever you push the pistons back in, but I usually never do that. Sounds like you had too much fluid for sure. I use the Park tools pad spreader (pp1.2 methinks)but not on the pistons themselves, can damage the pistons. Just keep pads in and keep the tool nice and clean. The new one the p2-1 I think is more to get the the brake pads spaced as to not rub.

Oh wow, great memories!
