    Snowshoe WC questions

    Thanks for the replies. I found the ticket info after posting and if we can crash out in the van somewhere on site, we’ll probably try to make it happen.

    Snowshoe WC questions

    Looks like the GF and I will be attending a small music festival not far from Snowshoe and hoping to check out the race. The two big questions: Do we need “tickets” for the event and can we do the dirtbag sleep in the van thing somewhere on the hill? Most likely would be there for qualifying...

    New Whip? New toys for the dependable steed?

    Nice to see the Spitfires. I’ve had mine together for a couple months and it’s been pretty good to me.

    Shock preference? DPX2 vs. Float X? Other?

    Can confirm. The one that came on my Spitfire crapped out before it saw any real trail time. Air in the damper seems to be a common issue.

    Sonos Amp

    After seeing how this is stated and a bit more research, I’ll take back my initial statement that your desired setup won’t work. The Playbar can act as a stand-alone speaker and be grouped with the Amp based system. The Playbar would be playing the full stereo signal which will have an affect...

    Sonos Amp

    We do a fair amount of Sonos stuff and have used the Amp in various configurations, but I'm pretty sure it won't do what you want. When combined with any of the Sonos soundbars, the Amp can only be used to drive surrounds. It also won't output to a wired sub when in surround sound mode. Maybe...

    RIP Jordie Lunn

    ^^^ This ^^^ I've been rolling around with hardware in my wrist and collarbone for 10+ years with no intention of removing it unless absolutely necessary per the advice of my surgeon. A bad enough crash could cause some problems but that's a risk I'm willing to take considering the down time...

    Poor mans problems - Deore vs SLX brakes

    Only thing I could find was via Shimano's website. Recommended caliper for the MT500 lever is the standard dual piston BR MT500, and the MT501 lever pairs up with the same dual piston as well as the new four piston BR MT520. I vaguely remember reading something about the four piston caliper...

    Poor mans problems - Deore vs SLX brakes

    I've had the M6000s on the trailbike most of the season and they've been totally solid. No discernible difference in performance or feel compared to the SLXs on friends' bikes.

    What makes it strange here is that we're much smaller population wise, maybe 200,000 people including the students. It's pretty common to see the stuff you mentioned along with Ferraris, Bentleys, Maseratis, and some of the less well off kids in GT-Rs and AMG Benzs. And then they occasionally...

    There's a chrome Aston rolling around our little campus town; it's fucking hideous. We seem to have quite a few super rich asian students driving high dollar sports cars, most of which have fairly garish paint jobs or wraps.

    ** Wanted! Old Marzocchi air valve adapter **

    Great fork, and it can be set to just about any travel you want by adjusting the ratio of negative to positive air pressure. It'll take some trial and error to get it dialed, but worth the time. It also has adjustable bottom out resistance via air valve to go with the LSC and rebound.

    This is what's right with The Industry®

    Cliff notes version as to not totally derail the thread. Copper Harbor- Great riding, but not too much else given its location. Keeweenaw Adventure Co. for shuttles and supplies. Houghton- Michigan Tech Trails, good variety of trail, buff and flowy, techy rocks, dirt jumps, DS track, and some...

    This is what's right with The Industry®

    We've been making trips to the UP since back in the Monster Park days and it gets better every year. The amount and variety of trail building up there over the years has been impressive. Copper Harbor/ Houghton area and Marquette are worth at least a couple days each.

    Saint crank arms Vs XT etc.

    Could be wrong, but I'm not sure the spacer is there to keep the cranks from being over tightened as much as it's there as a "lawyer tab" type deal. If the cranks have been tightened to the point of completely sandwiching the spacer, then they've probably been stretched and could be the cause of...

    Does my LBS suck, or do I suck?

    This right here should go in the "This is what's wrong with the industry" thread. If a shop is unwilling to provide the same level of service to all their paying customers, then that shop can fuck right off.
