We're kicking off the 2024 Secret Santa! Exchange gifts with other monkeys - from beer and snacks, to bike gear, to custom machined holiday decorations and tools by our more talented members, there's something for everyone.
Wifey got to show off "her" handiwork with the home renovations we've done to all the moms. "We did [long list]." "OMG! How'd you find someone to do all the work?!" "Well, Stoney actually did [half of long list]". I think it finally registered just how much fucking work I've done when the other moms stopped and "wowed" mid conversation.
If forced to, I could do that. With a really small apartment, I think I would be a 3 bikes guy: enduro with two wheelsets, gravel bike with a road and a offroad wheelset plus a DJ/pump track bike. But as I have the space, I am the N+1 guy.
Have recently come to the conclusion that a nice hardtail with two sets of wheels is all one really needs for a bike, unless you are road racing, but why would you do that?

My broken old hands are my weak point so I gravitate towards longer travel forks. I think nose diving every landing probably also helps with the knees and back.
yeah, i pedal it everywhere...and take it to dh days too. it's fine here. i'm not riding with xc racerbois here in town so i don't need to be the fastest locally. plus at this point the few local trails i bother riding are the ones with roots, rocks, small bits of steeps, and jumps. only place the nomad makes me sad is the pump track

For me it isn't about pedaling efficiency but having a bike that is easy to pop and pump over shit when it isn't the most challenging trail which is a lot of fun. Also what I do when the trail is challenging, which is a lot of fun.
That was my thought building up the Element. (120/130)However, I scare myself way too often on the long downhills here, I‘m so used to the piggy sled. (170/170).
