I think two wheelsets are good for the ripmo. One with burly tires and ones with more XC tires. Someone in austin sells i9 hydras on pinkbike for under 500. Plus chinese carbon rims at 300 and $64 of spokes from dans comp will get you the second wheelset for a reasonable price.

instead of cage and straps just get good flats and good shoes.

i keep trail conditions updated at https://austintrailconditions.com You can make a browser bookmark on your phone that becomes a home page icon

https://buddyinsurance.com/

there is also buddy insurance which is to cover people doing extreme sports. It isnt full coverage, but will partially cover life flights, ambulances, deductibles etc. You can buy it for just the duration of your trip

nbc has it blocked https://snltranscripts.jt.org/93/93druining.phtml

Most likely teens that are partying at night so you would be unlikely to run into them.

spinning, never stop moving. On a trainer you never stop pedaling, on a trail there is a lot of coasting to be able to recover.

This is what Im showing for trail conditions. Not sure about reimers and pedernales. I feel like reimers should be good. brushy and walnut are confirmed

I have the bar mounts screw together (no stretchy bands) that place the gps over the stem. Live in NW hills if you want to pickup I have the one with bands if for some weird reason you prefer those. I have a sram one that looks something like this

An Ebike is absolutely great when you want to work on downhill skills. You can get so many more runs in.

just an esoteric point, but there is no such thing as centrifugal force.

It doesnt have to be true. There is quite a bit of city owned greenbelt land with no trails. They can legitimize rogue trails as well. For example the austin parks foundation had a call out for people to help build trail in the north cat mountain greenbelt.

We have elected adler and the city council to administer it on our behalf. We all have shared ownership and therefore have delegated operations to the city. You could want it wide open and other people could want it closed. You and they dont decide directly, but through your elected representatives. If you own shares of mcdonalds, can you go in and do whatever you want at a corporate owned mcdonalds restaurant? No because you are only a part owner with millions of other owners. The corporate structure delegates power to the board who then delegates power to the employees. Im much more upset about forest ridge which was promised to stay open and then the city essentially closed it except to bird enthusiasts. The city council actually mandated that it be opened for recreational use, but the city department has essentially stalled until the effort died. I will be upset if the city closes trails to mtb because of birdwatchers (but I wont dispute they have the power to do it)

The part that you are glossing over is that the only people that are getting sick are the people that are not quarantining or associating with people that arent quarantining. Anyone can choose to quarantine (even people in nursing homes can choose to quarantine and most of them will decide that getting taken care of is more important than quarantining). People are making the choice (sometimes they are tough choices) to not quarantine and those are the people that are getting sick. "We" are not throwing 6-8K into the fire.

can someone summarize his points? As far as I can tell it is city owned property and as our elected representatives they can define rules to close it. Even though I disagree with the reasons behind the closures (outside gatherings are actually relatively safe unless people have massive crowds) I think the city absolutely has the power to close the parks that it owns or charge money for entry into the parks or ban mountain bikers or approve or ban particular trails.

when I was fighting with the city to keep cat open they admitted that natural erosion was much larger than anything people would do. Erosion is a big deal when you are building a subdivision and all that dirt clogs up a waterway. But erosion doesnt always matter. In santa barbara, erosion is eating cliffs and threatens to destroy homes. In most of our area erosion is a complete non issue. The city also said that trails create impervious cover..

you might be a hoarder.. however crappy 90s bikes are listing for $200 so you should take this chance to clear out some bikes. Get as many working as possible and start to sell. If you sell 10 of them you can buy a really nice modern bike.

defund the police is actually about taking away many of the jobs that armed combat trained officers arent best for and moving those to another agency. It isnt about throwing things out but moving them to another agency where the culture is different

the bake a cake is a protected class. They could deny for reasons not related to the protected class, but not because of the protected class.

Ill add that I put up some pegboard and have my tools nicely spaced out. That is really helpful. I also have at least 8 sets of allen wrenches in various forms (t handle, L, socket head, screw driver head, on spare bike tools, etc), because you can never find them when you need them. I keep a complete tool set (sockets, hammer, bits, crescent etc) in my bike area and the tools are never allowed to leave that area. I have a toolset for indoors and a toolset in my main work bench.

I personally would do an RV instead of a pilot. There are 24ft RVs forsale for 20-30K. Tow a small car for driving around the area. Something like this https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2613183542232560/

if you get a truing stand then you will also need spoke wrenches, a spoke tension meter is handy small and large torque wrenches pedal wrench or larger allen keys than typically come in most sets (e.g. 8mm) Chain breaker, I also use quicklinks and have a quick link tool and spare quick links there is also a tool to measure chain wear for shimano cranks there is a small plastic tool that is used to remove the bolt that holds the cranks together (crank arm installation tool) Bottom bracket tool - there are a couple of sizes. My park bottom bracket tool has the crank arm install tool on one side For brake bleeds and shimano brakes you need a 7mm allen which doesnt seem come in most sets, make sure the kit has the funnel. I use it a lot I use a hayes disc brake tool which has two very thin sheets that go between the rotor and the brake pads to align calipers. There is a park rotor tool for bending the rotor derailleur hanger alignment tool, spare derailleur hanger mineral oil for shimano brakes very large socket for the fork nuts (e.g. 24mm, 26mm) Air compressor for seating tubeless tires. I keep spare stans valves. I also use a basketball pin inflator to remove grips. You blow compressed air under the grip and the grips come right off/slide right on. I have a presta valve connector for my compressor I use a little presta core tool for removing the core out of presta valves. I use a stans syringe that has a presta screw at the end to inject sealant cable/cable housing cutter. I like the park one 1mm allen head - this is used for example on the barrel nut of a ks lev dropper bost a set of picks for pulling retaining springs vice soft jaws for when you cant get hub endcaps and the freehub body to come off I have a special clamp for the brake hose to make it easy to tap the brass barb fitting on the end regular grease fork oil I have dt swiss grease for dt swiss hubs Some different grease for i9 torch hubs slick honey rock and roll gold for the chain I make my own sealant pedros tire levers alcohol for cleaning rotors and brake pads. generic degreaser (e.g. simple green) lots of shop towels nitrile gloves I use cloths, but the oil comes off in the washer which is bad. spotlight to see what you are doing There are additional things that are pretty rarely used: various presses for headsets and press fit bottom brackets For crown race I just use 1.5 inch PVC and a cap so I can hit it with a hammer

There was a girl who had her wheels stolen. She posted on the austin mountain bike facebook group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/502755839933261/permalink/1450177888524380/

thats because 68 is the perfect HTA..
