This is from a couple yrs ago but gives a good idea and is from the OG builder. The different sections are there and you can watch the videos. http://brushycreekbuttholes.blogspot.com/

I'd like to think that it would never get to that extreme point

Touche' I am a hypocrite. I thought the dude I rode by last week blasting Motorhead was pretty cool.

This is truly a pet peeve of mine. I dont care if you have headphones. I honestly dont think on trails there are truly that many blindspots. I hear and see people through trees. It is isnt like we wear ghillie suits and no one can see us. Just situational awareness I guess. BUt yea,, hate the speakers for some reason.

I had to stop by Peddlers in CP this AM for help with a project. I was blown away by the amount of work he has piling up. I counted over 30+ bikes in waiting. But super happy the shop was not dead

I tried this last night , she was not impressed

So if anything I am learning more -- about the R word and gravel bikes I keep coming across levers \ shifters sold left and right. I think I figured out that left is for brakes, while the right side is brakes & shifting , am I correct?

Cool.. I knew that you would know and confirm that for me. Thanks Chief Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Dang. Had no idea levers for dropbars were so money. My setup is simple. Single speed so no shifting. I dont do droppers so that's not needed. I want to use my SLX calipers so just need levers that are compatible. Been looking at the GRX 600s from Shimano .. but damn they are pricey for levers. I do have Sram calipers in my bin so maybe I'll look at what Sram offers. I'm totally open to suggestions ideas or ridicule. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Excuse my ignorance here but never needed to know this before and I've spent hours looking. I have a Rock Shox Reba 100 MM fork. I am leaning toward this stem PNW Coast stem and bars , https://www.pnwcomponents.com/products/coast-stem , but not entirely sure if this will fit the fork. I am thinking that the steerer tubes are a standard size so pretty much any stem will fit ?? Then I just need to score the levers and hoods for brakes .. thanks.

If i have SLX calipers already, is it possible to use road\gravel levers with the SLX calipers?

So going from a typical MTB bar length, how is it with those 44? Damn.. guess I hijacked this thread. I'll ping you up in that gravel one Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Sweet! I'm so bored and anxious. I think I'm gonna stop dreaming and make the SS a monstercross. What's the width on thos bars? Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Saw this as well. I was happy since I could take it to my kids and show a real world example of critical thinking and not believing everything they see online as truth. Be careful of wording and the sources of their truth, even from me. And I dont claim to be a critical thinker. I am a self described pessimistic optimist.-- I think you are screwing me over but I hope you are not , so I am wary.

Thanks. As if I am not having enough trouble sleeping as it is. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

What if the GCW spread Covid? Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I often wonder how people in the med field, Police, FIre or EMS and such can handle things they see. Once I had kids I changed and man the dumbest things gets me a creeper in the eye , my kids mock me. But whatever

That was a bit hard to read , I prefer denial. Thank You

Bring meat for the grill

Guess I cannot park in front of your place?
