    Carbon Wheel Failure!!! 😲😟😭

    I appreciate the feedback. I’ll wait until I can ride it with someone. After a gnarly crash a couple years ago, I am more hesitant to be far from trailheads riding difficult trails by myself. Too much can go wrong.

    Total Hip Replacement and Riding

    I appreciate the feedback. Definitely in pain now. I am hoping to be walking and light hiking by October 1 for a trip to Wyoming I planned 6 months ago.

    Carbon Wheel Failure!!! 😲😟😭

    I wouldn’t trust that rim. Failure on the wrong section of trail could be catastrophic. The cost of a new rim is well worth my safety. I was thinking bout riding Palm Canyon Epic this fall. I would be riding alone. Would it be unwise to do this trail on a solo ride?

    Total Hip Replacement and Riding

    I just had my hip replacement surgery this morning. I had to switch doctors for insurance reasons. I like this doctor better and he did anterior. There is fairly considerable post surgery pain, but well worth having my hip back. Doctor says I’ll be back riding in early October, but should...

    I did the same thing. Very happy that I cancelled my range extender order and purchased the full spare battery.

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    I tried both the enduro and trail casings. 3 sidewall tears in my last 2 months. Never had the issue with Maxxis. The tread does seem to be wearing well though and I do like the way they ride.

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Just installed the Schwalbe Big Betty in the rear and Magic Mary up front. Gonna give these a try. i I was running the Continental Kryptotals front and rear. I liked the way they rode, but didn’t like their durability. If these aren’t good, I’ll go back to Maxxis.

    Strava's secret price rises

    I like Strava, but I canceled my subscription. Retirement is more important than the benefits of Strava.

    Trek Fuel EXe

    I am not sure. I bought the 9.5 and before I ever touched or looked at the bike, the shop stripped it and built it to my specs. They did all the work so not sure what they did or parts they used.

    Photos below are from about 2 weeks ago. I’ve seen quite a few on the trails as well. I ran over a Diamondback Rattlesnake a couple days after this, but didn’t get a photo. It was too late to bale off the bike, so I just lifted my legs and ran the snake over. He hissed and struck. A kid on...
