    So, did you keep or sell your non eMTB? Any regrets?

    I saw Trek had their Slash models on sale. I was like...should I get one? THEN I saw the friggin price...$8k for a non emtb? Ummm...no way. For a minute I almost lost my mind. But, I don't see myself ever buying a non ebike again. I mean, what's the point? Go slower, have less fun, probably ride...

    Wireless dropper question...

    I was going to ask the same thing. Gotta plug the holes if you remove the cable housing I'd think???

    Other Coolest Levo colour ever?

    Cool color. Looks like a color for a chopped chort 68 Impala low rider. Cheech and Chong approved.

    Wireless dropper question...

    I just spoke to Aidan at WWC...they have the AXS GX model which he recommended for my bike. I assume the chain will remain the same length and not need to be shortened??

    Wireless dropper question...

    Ok, I'm kinda dumb about this stuff...I have a Gen 4 Trek Rail 9.8 XT. It has the Shimano 12 sp XT deraileur-M8100 Long cage. How do I know which AXS wireless shifter model to choose to be sure it will fit my bike? I mean, it's a Sram deraileur and a Shimano drive. I could ask the people when I...

    Wireless dropper question...

    Interesting...fairly simple to install or were there things that you didn't expect that made the job difficult?

    Wireless dropper question...

    Do you favor one over the other? Meaning, if you were only doing one... the wireless dropper or shifter...which would you choose?

    Wireless dropper question...

    I am considering the Reverb AXS dropper. But, what do you do with the cable housing? Let it hang there? Remove it?? I am a bit leary of removing it in case the new dropper has issues. And, if you want the cable dropper, how difficult is it to re- install a new cable and housing in a Trek rail...

    Rail (750Wh) Pulled the trigger..9.8 XT Gen 4

    When I got my first Rail...9.7, it just rode exactly like I expected an emtb should ride. Kinda motoish if that makes sense. I look for that in a bike. Personally, I like really good suspension. The 9.7 was ok, just not great suspension wise. The 9.8 is definitely a step up. If trek would make a...

    Rail (750Wh) Pulled the trigger..9.8 XT Gen 4

    Sold my 9.7 Rail last year to my buddy. Always loved the Rail. So I ordered a 9.8 xt. If you've never ridden a Rail, I highly recommend to. Awesome bike. Hopefully get to ride it soon. Trails are muddy here in SE Wisconsin, so trails are closed. I hate muddy riding anyway. Pnw grips and pedals...

    Is Blood the only way ?

    From everything I know about RB, there are ZERO additives, other than the dye. It's pure mineral dyed blue. Nothing proprietary about it...other than color.

    Is Blood the only way ?

    I have 2 bikes with Maguras...I use mineral oil exclusively. It's the same as RB...just no dye.

    What size MAGA hat? Same size as your tampon I'd guess. How many people do you stand behind when there is a fight? I bet your all for fighting a war if your country were invaded. As long as someone else does the fighting.

    Most of you holier than thou liberals probaly don't own a gun, never shot a gun, never hunted, wouldn't know how to handle one or whch end it even fires from and have litterally no experience with them whatsoever. You'd probably piss yourselves if you actually had to load one or god forbid fire...

    You really...really missed the point. It's what YOU'D be speaking. Not what I do genius. Do the world a favor. Please...take all your guns and weapons and simply destroy them. Open your doors to your homes and trust everyone in your country and planet earth. And never...ever...ask the US for...

    Go ride your bikes. To debate one freedom over another is really pointless. Just vote for your country to never expect or want any military help from the US. I'd LOVE for the US to send zero military aid of any kind to any country. Keep it all here. We'd have tens of trillions more in the bank...

    Largest...most well armed private citizens and or army on planet earth. It isn't even close to any other country. This absolutely is a deterrent to any invasion. This comes with responsibility. Some in the US are irresponsible unfortunately.
