    @6thElement I had Blake ask Bethany the racer girl from Santa Fe area what she thought of Whitefish Resort on a scale of 10, if Angel Fire was 10. He copied her replies and sent them to me. Blake also agreed with me that Silver Mountain is more fun to ride, though I'd place higher value on...

    Yeah, it's in Kellogg, ID right along I-90. You are right that we had to ride paved bike path a bit, forgot about that part. Maybe my memory is fuzzy, or maybe I was in better shape both physically and mentally, but it felt like the trails were built better and I enjoyed the park more. Blake...

    Not sure how the resort compares to bike parks in Colorado (you guys are spoiled) and I only got to ride half the trails, but I enjoyed it. Kinda dry and blown out though, bit scary to hit berms fast with 30 psi in tires. My fav was Runaway Train. That said, I think I like Silver Mountain...

    New Whip? New toys for the dependable steed?

    Good point. Hard to argue with that.

    New Whip? New toys for the dependable steed?

    I'm still using a pair of OG Quadiems, which I bought from PB classified back in Oct 2018. They allegedly had 400 miles on, I've since put over 3500 miles on (the only reason I still use Strava, to keep track of components lifespan). The levers are worn out and sloppy and the rear brake fluid...

    New Whip? New toys for the dependable steed?

    Agree with @Andeh to try s lighter spring if you're having to run less compression and moar rebound. I remember commenting how big (eye to eye) the shock was relative to the wheel travel when a local guy got a Rev'ed Smash a while ago. I think GG's Reved frame has numerically lower overall...

    Hi all, My buddy Blake decided he wants to race in NW Cup earlier this year. He hit me up a while ago about the 3rd round in Whitefish, MT. I parked my rig at a truck stop in Moses Lake, WA and had him pick me up. One chair and a few trails were reserved for the racers so I didn't get to...

    I had a bad wreck at the end of May (concussion and dislocated ribs). Spent a little over a month at my family's place in CA, attending buddy's wedding and getting my ribs adjusted weekly by a physical therapist. Finally recovered well enough to go outside and do something. Eased back into...

    Flat pedal shoes

    My last pair of Teva Links are on life support and I was in need of a new pair of riding shoes. I liked the old Impact, except for the fact that the soles peeled off after a couple of rides, so I figured I'd try the new Impact Pro Mid. Unfortunately, they didn't fit my feet...at nominal size...

    Tire Inserts

    I imagine it'd be challenging on rims with shallow depth/side profile, such as Stan's Flow Mk3. We haven't had much issue installing Cushcores on most DT rims (FR570, EX471/511, etc). Not sure about Rimpact but Cushcore stretches after a while, which makes it quite a bit easier to install...

    Tire Inserts

    I think it would work reasonably well for your stated purposes. It's not 100% guaranteed protection though, so don't go out riding at 17 psi in the tire right after you install an insert. You can observe various cuts and wrinkles on my old Cushcore. Most of those cuts go all way through. I...

    What podcasts do you listen to

    Moving the Needle (Andrew Neethling), my 2nd fav MTB podcast behind Vital. Recent episode with Dean Lucas was excellent, and he just did a 2-part episode with Vories. Past Gas is pretty good if you're into automotive history.

    New Whip? New toys for the dependable steed?

    Retired my old WTB Devo. The new one doesn't get in my way as much (tear on the side is from my legs rubbing) and mitigates unrideabru 74-deg ST angle on my obsolete frame to some extent. And hoarding tires Edit: These just arrived. Not bike parts but made by Fox, with a dead 36 CSU for...
