2019 Alta EX-R. Great fun, but the company folded.

I rode my e-dirtbike today. Definitely not an e-mtb, does that count?

If you have a 12 speed cassette, sram or shimano, then the answer is yes. The only difference in the kits is that one of the derailleurs has a fake plastic carbon fiber cap on it that lasts about 1 day.

I got my disc enlarged.

Jefferson County is the way to go for trails that have gps tracks of them. I've been enjoying Golden Gate Canyon State Park.

It has closed, and I actually live down that same street a short ways. Hilariously, Nederland, CO is said to have the same name origin as The Netherlands. I read it means lowlands, and when miners from northern europe came over here, they could go down from their mining sites into Nederland to...

Considering where all of the big players buy the servers keeping us online, I'd bet you're right.

I agree completely there, I'm on a Levo with pretty long seat stays and I need to scoot to the front of the seat long before I'm worried about sliding back on the seat. The acceleration isn't quite that good yet.

I don't blame you for thinking that, but yeah, it's totally a real thing.

I don't recall my sit bone width, but I will say after buying my ergon saddle and not getting along with it I decided to just bite the bullet and spend the big bucks for a bi-saddle and then tweak it as needed instead of trying to find the perfect saddle. It's adjustable for front and rear...

Doing a little exploring today. Found this trail 2 miles from my house. Then spotted an offshoot with a cool rock. Make sure to take a hard right before you hit the flowers on top of the rock. Or stay left of the flowers if you want to take the pro line. Bicycle included for scale.

I set my power level so I'm working as hard as they are. Makes it more fun that way to me and I imagine they appreciate it too.

I've been mezzing around with my suspension all evening.

I don't understand, how can one 250w motor be faster than another 250w motor? Just kidding, but I do find it odd they lie through their teeth about the wattage number but are such sticklers for the MPH numbers. I keep expecting one of them to put out a bike that lets you do 40mph* (Top...

I just realized Lee McCormack of leelikesbikes.com lives half an hour from me. I'll hit him up one of these days about pump track design and if it's workable on my property. Wouldn't hurt to get some skills lessons from him either.

I need to look up pump track design, I wonder how hard it would be to build one in my hard. Downside might be my property is quite sloped.

I don't, but that's a great idea. I have never ridden one and always wanted to. I do have a little skatepark near me, concrete bowls and such, but wasn't sure if such a large bike would be a good fit in there. I do see the local kids on the bmx bikes there quite a bit.

This looks like a motorcycle gearbox to me, which seems a good place to start. I wonder if they'll get off of the ground? Having owned an alfine and a rohloff I'm not a fan of the planetary gear based solutions in their current form so always keeping my eyes open for something better.

Niche use case here, but what I liked about the 1up add on unit is that I could easily attach it to my dirt bike rack so now I can carry my dirt bike and my mountain bike when I go camping.

I've been away from mountain bikes for 15 years. The 5 years before that it was my life, I rode 3+ times per week and got so into downhill I moved to Whistle, BC for over a year and got to enjoy two full DH seasons there and a lot of great Northshore Freeriding. In my time off I stayed busy on...
