    shimano XT brakes for downhill?

    This is in line with my experience, and I love the modulation TRP offers compared to Saints. Consistent fade free engagement and power seals the deal.

    Boost vs Non-Boost Lyrik and Yari?

    That won't work. Boost has a broader crown span, not just wider lowers. I have both boost and non boost lyrics and non boost has a narrower csu for sure.

    Sun Peaks Resort?

    I haven't been for a few years but definitely enjoyed my last visit. Good sized park, nice and steep in a lot of areas and a decent variety of trails. Leans towards more rough and natural terrain than groomed, but I like it like that.

    Some things of note at the park They have installed irrigation on the lower two thirds of Aline and water the trail a couple times a day. Once as the park opens and again in the late afternoon. There is a new lower section of Dirt Merchant under construction. It is in proportion to the upper...

    At this point it looks like they are just removing them. I agree the feature wasn't that awesome but now its just a flat boring section before the fun starts again. The step up at the end of Aline is a nice addition for sure. Its good to have a final feature to look forward to. The end of...

    A line isn't much different from the last few years, a few minor changes is all. They have taken the freight out of Freight Train though, hauled off some of the containers yesterday.

    Rims - carbon and metal

    If you are suggesting that flats are more common with carbon rims, my experience has been the opposite. I almost never get flats on carbon wheels, where it is a much more common occurrence on aluminum hoops. I run tubeless and find this to be true across the spectrum of bikes I ride, from...

    Rims - carbon and metal

    I cracked a Reserve 30 wheel on my Nomad last fall in the bike park. No questions, new wheel from SC. Took a bit longer than 24 hours though. To be fair the program was brand new and still finding it's pace, may or may not be actually 24 hours now.

    Next generation Nomad?

    Well said Sandro. I find mine to behave in a very similar fashion with the sag set as you describe and set in the 'high steep' position. With the sag increased to 33-35% and set in the 'low slack' position the bike takes on the characteristics of a mini dh sled. And I mean that in the best...

    Wrist brace for riding - recommendations?

    Nearly broke the end off of my radius at the wrist with a vertical fissure as well. I wasn't as aggressive as I should have been with my pt after the cast came off. I had some lingering flexibility and soreness issues.

    Wrist brace for riding - recommendations?

    I broke a wrist a couple years back and recovery was very slow. I needed a brace that would be close to unnoticeable while riding but still provide support and the confidence to know I would survive a crash without dire consequences. The allsport dynamics brace was the only one I could find...

    Light flat pedals - any HT pedal experts? other suggestions?

    In my experience with Podium pedals the stainless pins are more likely to damage the pedal body in a strike than the aluminum ones which just tend to shear off. I would prefer to replace a couple pins than a pedal body.

    Light flat pedals - any HT pedal experts? other suggestions?

    Another vote for the Podiums here. Best flats I've used over several decades of experience with most of the available brands. Occasional pin replacement is needed.

    Debonair? Junk?

    I really like mine. I never got along with the Debonair, but the Super Deluxe is great.
