my kids absolutely love Polaris fwiw.

I had the flu-pneumonia double whammy a few years back. Knocked my right on my ass. Felt like death.

/me was going to go mountain biking but Baby Aya coughed herself into puking this morning so home from preschool she shall stay with me.
I said across the freeway, not to Kansas.

I've still got my old (2009 vintage) Boone Ti SS cog sitting in parts and I'd love to give it a go again. But XD freehub and 2x (non DM or 104bcd) crankset on my HT says much fuckery would be required. I think I sold my Hope HG freehub to @canadmos ?

I think the last time I had it SS was 2013 racing a bunch of 100 milers in the NUE series...
2010 was the last time I had a SS bike, SC Chameleon that was too small, so back pain made me part it and sell it. 26er hardtail vs 29+ hardtail is a lot different and mucho funner.

In hell. Welcome!

I like having gears on a thicc hardtail much more in Winter than in Summer, but again our snow is shitty here.

I like to keep both around, the SS is almost exclusively for trail cutting and bad weather these days. I broke it out the other day and am realizing it needs some upgrades...

@jstuhlman, here is your confirmation bias of the day...Hour and a half of snowblowing, and not totally done yet. And we have a four car driveway on 1/10 of an acre. You have a guest room?

Tell the missus to work harder so you can replace your driveway with a ////melty one:

This guy <= thinking about buying a melty mat or 2 to melt snow where it slides off the roof and freezes solid / piles up close to the windows / front door...

2" an hour they say... 5'x2'

I'll be back to gears once I install the fartbike tires. I have another 29+ wheelset with 3.0 for playing in mud. SS during the winter would always require perfect compact snow conditions.
