That's the old way Dad, plush ride, soft tires, no squirm, no flats. Moreover I've seen plenty of flats with pressure in the mid twenty PSI range, just a great time on a group ride making the decision to let the flat tired person walk out alone or walk with them? I'm riding a...

Big fan of Cushcore's, bought for one bike tried them loved them bought for the second bike. Haven't really had a super hard square edge hit, can run significantly lower pressures PSI, in the teens the cushcore supports the sidewalls so great traction and no wallow, oh yes NO...

Yes it has high and low speed compression, my LBS got the damper ($390) included when I purchased the Rail 9.8 XT. I just bought the socket to open the air chamber to check for spacers. I've been experimenting with pressure and rebound settings but so far I've been unable to...

Sorry should have also mentioned. I specifically did not want the wireless derailleur 700 USD to replace and I bust derailleur's at least once a year. Also skipped the carbon rim's after repairing a bent aluminum rim with a pair of pliers. The project one paint was on sale for...

My understanding (rembering that I take a bicycle out in the woods and try to fly through the air trying clear obstacles instead of hitting them)
is that the only difference between the Lyric on the 9.8 and 9.9 is the damper same for Fox fit 4 and grip 2. Someone may know...

I spent some time experimenting with setting it up yesterday. (Both tires running Cushcore) Sag at 25% PSI 220 (I weigh 205 lbs) not positive about the number of clicks of rebound about midway, however I turn it all the way up so I...

Day 1
Tricky technical, timid head space walked some sections that I ride all the time, what was the problem?
First Day Project One custom paint, nothing more.
Day 2
Double track rode hard and fast, oh now...

Had MINOR shoulder surgery 8 days ago, rode at day 4, I'm 65 figure I have about 7 rides left before I'm plagued. Every feature I've never had the nerve to ride is now on deck.....and riding naked of course now that embarrassment and discretion serves no good purpose.

I used to fall into line on the climbs until I realized that no one else was changing they way they rode because I was on and ebike ergo, when it gets steep I pass everyone and have come to really enjoy being a Dick....see you at the top sucker's

More power more wear. I get about 750 miles from a chain and cassette. Recently read a review of chain wear SRAM came out on top by some margin, they run them on and machine for days at a time and measure stretch. I'd rather wear out my bike than my body, just sayin!

I just love a picture of a mountain (Sweet Ride) "resting on Stuff" (thanks Doomanic for the coinage) especially when there's signs of NO TRESPASSING in the background, for me those "signs" are personal invitation to explore.
