    My Old Riding Buddies Won't Ride With me Anymore

    Couldn't agree more, been riding since 80's when my son got involved so I've known some of his group for a while now which is a good thing since I find fewer of us in our 70's riding. When I'm with a group I ride at their pace, especially when climbing (lol, on DH I'm not at their pace) and...

    2021 Santa Cruz Bullit

    Mine is a 2022, had the larger one (updated now to 2025 internals)… I wonder if Fox has incorporated that into all forks? I suppose one could go to LBS and measure 38’s on a new model, non ebike?

    2021 Santa Cruz Bullit

    As far as I know Philip Fox only supplies one version now and also did away with their original “e-tune” of the damper as well.

    Drivetrain cleaning

    Yeah, that is confusing. Cardboard food/milk containers are also waxed… just so they don't leak, hiking boots also get a wax-base waterproofing and carnueba wax is used to protect tabletops too. Thanks

    Drivetrain cleaning

    I too use the Silca wax but I’m not sure why I would need to relube mid-ride in the rain? Im in NorCal and when it rains it pours… just not so often.

    Hows everyone getting on with their New AMflow

    Oh geez, I apologize for my part in getting forum off-track by responding to a slavery comment and down the rabbit-hole of politics! As a non-maga citizen of the bluest state in the union, living in the most liberal part of that state with its diverse population and the world’s 5th largest...

    Hows everyone getting on with their New AMflow

    to wuite from Steve’s comments “the Brits had been warring against slavery starting in 1807 (54 years before the US Civil War started). It continued until 1867, when the demand dried up once the American South were unable to import more.” So, one could say it appears the Brits fought a long...

    Hows everyone getting on with their New AMflow

    …and did slavery exist after that war? No, which was the point of my response to “what did US do to stop slavery”. As you pointed out, our Civil War was fought over several factors including the growing moral objections that spawned anti-slavery movements such as Underground Railroad, etc…

    2022 Bullit build

    With pebbles getting in I wonder if the battery cover and skid plate aren't sealing against the frame? I had same type of creak so I placed my bike on its back (crank side up) with good lighting so I could take the time to more closely look at fit and seal. Ended up putting thin bead of...

    Lots of Rough miles and Hands "aching"

    I found the OneUp Components e-bar Both my son & I prefet the OneUp Components “e-bar” carbon handlebars over the stock Santa Cruz carbon bars. He’s 6’ tall using bars cut to 780mm, I’m 6’2”, 36” sleeve (spouse says Neanderthal) and ride bars at 790mm. We’ve recently been riding the new ODI...

    Hi, wrong side of 49…

    Didn't he mean the too young side of 49, without all the experience and wisdom we now have at 73? (Although my child-development professor wife may question the wisdom part when I come home banged up & bruised)

    Moab Utah USA: Local BLM requests comments about a proposal for Allowing E-bike Use

    Apologies for long winded response, just wanted to say we shouldn't inject unnecessary subjects into our comments to BLM or other regulatory agencies because they're going to receive plenty of those from opposition trying to muddy the waters.

    Moab Utah USA: Local BLM requests comments about a proposal for Allowing E-bike Use

    Having ridden here in “the birthplace of mountain biking” (SF Bay area) and received speeding ticket warning from park rangers using radar gun because “it was unsafe” while we were going downhill on fire/service road riding standard bikes @ approximately 20 mph nearly 30 years ago I can attest...
