I want a spicy chicken combo, biggie sized with a diet Coke please.

Dammit. I stopped in at the LBS and they had a Tallboy R / Carbon C / 29 build in Large just sitting there for the taking. Curiously I think they have it priced wrong at $4,199 instead of the $4,649 on Santa Cruz's website unless something about the build spec was different and so it got priced low...

New bike day is this Wednesday. Already got a few upgrades waiting to be installed. Going to switch my current bikes brakes onto the new bike. Mobile bike mechanic quoted me $180 to do it........Think I'll do it myself.... All pre cut frame protection kits are sold out so I got some clear film roll....

Maybe the headset is the culprit?

Talk me out of this

Have you found one in stock?

Was able to snag a new YT this morning. Got a 27.5. I've been doing a lot of freeriding around the university next door. Entered a time trial race for September. Gotta start training. Bike will ship by 4/21 https://cdn-prod.yt-industries.com/media/image/24/c9/92/01_JEFFSY_27_AL_Core_2_silver_Front_1...

Bled the brakes last night. 2 of the 4 pistons were not moving and another was lazy. Surprised how badly they held up after one year. Sram definitely require more love. Fluid was clean though. You could really blow some :waxer: and get some Maguras for that jawn. No need to worry about mixing Shima...

And have mismatched components? :howdareu: :fancy: And have brakes that work without fail? :ohwell: Bled the brakes last night. 2 of the 4 pistons were not moving and another was lazy. Surprised how badly they held up after one year. Sram definitely require more love. Fluid was clean though.

I placed an deposit for a 2021 Ibis Ripmo V2 yesterday. Upgraded to the Fox 36 and DPX2 suspension. ETA late July. Hope to come out of rehab and be able to get ripping on that. Occam is kinda for sale, but if I keep it I’ll have a nice fleet with the 27.5+ nukeproof, the 27.5 Occam trail bike, and ...

Welp, bikes sold out across town and shops claim they can't even order for customers because supply is so messed up. Did find one shop that has an XL fat bike in their rental fleet :doe: so going to schedule some time to ride it next week. :excited: I jumped on the first used bike I saw that was so...

Something interesting just posted grand rapids bike swap facebook. Have to scroll down a bit. https://m.facebook.com/groups/470631973026378/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/470631973026378/permalink/3595915493831328/ Dis? looks :neat: don't know much about the brand but the setup and components loo...

It is deep rooted, and part of a hormonal change post partum. Sadly, therapy wasn't a lasting solution, and I dont have an extra $150/hr or whatever RN. Women everywhere are losing their shit. I know that they fight to have equality, but holding these threats over someone's head is well past that a...

So I bought my bike used. It's a 2019 model purchased in April of 2020. Got it from a guy who rode a lot with little maintenance. A lot of sand everywhere. Replaced the rear XC leaning tire with a more aggressive one(although I'm learning I might need to put the more aggressive tire on the front?) ...

Previous owner switched the shimanos that came standard out with the code r. They stop well but yeah I definitely prefer the user friendly shimanos. I put the same mineral oil that I use on my butcher block into my shimanos. Good enough for what I do. Or, plan B: Screw getting the SRAM bleed kit an...

Anyone running newer sram brakes? What are you using to bleed them? Looks like sram has a special tool(Bleeding Edge tm !!!)they want you to buy. I would prefer not to spend money on a "uni-task" tool. I was able to do my shimano brakes on my cannondale with some aquarium hose and a syrin...

Most important mod, I bought a purple Fox rear shock decal that my daughter picked out and so I'll be swapping that out too. :mahtroy: In terms of tires, you want the faster rolling tire in the front, but make sure it's got decent knobs for cornering grip on the outer edges. What tire combo do you ...

Thank you guys for your empathy and input on the sitch. This is a common cycle of three weeks of all good, and a final week of instability and surprise accusations. For those thinking I'm just a cuck in training, I assure you that I would be out of this rediculous relationship if it weren't for two...

I've been there before too. Communicating what our issues are regularly prevent it from getting to a boiling point. Sounds simple but I have to work at it. Not really a game plan but I know how you feel. Cool, thanks for your input. I suppose I can try and prod a bit to get more out of her. It seem...

I guess I posted that last one out of frustration, and possibly a plea for good ideas. I know that January usually sucks but this shit is bordering embarrassing for me. I basically keep things on the work, finance, and homeschooling front and clean up a solid 50% if not more. I try to keep the peac...

Man, kind of in a funk... winter weather means most of the outdoor stuff that was available during the 'VID previously isn't really an option... sick of being stuck at home, could use some time with friends or something, been with the wife nonstop for the past five weeks. Maybe I'm :madbro: because...

I have but I have a process and it works for me.

Go on...

As a parent with young kids just learning to wipe, I see a lot of shitty assholes these days. No way a little stream of water can properly clean some of the horrors I've seen. Have you ever used one? It is more like a pressure washer :lolol: I have but I have a process and it works for me. :lol:

2 sides of the same coin, imo

I personally don't think you are missing much.

Dem's words around here, apparently.
