i've got enough of a stockpile of rims and tires to ride things out while i wait for the lawsuit to settle.

Had a headache since last night and am feeling a bit clammy. Took my temp and it was in the normal range for average humans but one degree higher than my normal 96.8. Took a couple Tylenol extra strength and will crash out momentarily. Could be the flu, Lyme Disease or Covid. I are scared.
Carbon steerer fork?from what you're saying, you don't need a new bike. you need to go on a fucking diet, fatty.
He needs a new something.
I've ~1 DH bike's worth of 26" stuff I'd (probably) like to get rid of for a nominal amount of money... if any of y'all luddites are interested in any of the parts off my GG/DH let me know. Probably keeping the frame, but I never ride the thing anymore.
Hard to break frames riding a trainer
no but it sure flexes like a motherfucker! lol
plus, anything that can break has already been removed (brakes, grips, etc) or replaced (entire drivetrain)
definitely not built like gumby. still tipping the scales at 210.Not all of us are built like Gumby and ride like a little bitch
then again i've at least got my bikes built for how i ride and what i ride. i'd have no qualms taking my megatrail on DH trails, but if I was going somewhere with a lift, i'd just take my DH bike.
Hence me building up a new bike, numbnuts....I haven't had a freeride/dh bike since 2010ish
Definitely get that double checked. That cost is probably just labour, or it should be. It looks like a quality bearing and hub for the front of your car is about $100-150 each. I don't see bare bearings listed on rockauto ((link here) so maybe its just standard to replace the whole hub and bearing (hub itself would probably be only $50).
So $300 for the bearing/hub assembly and maybe $60 for two new sway bar links (they are probably rusted on there good
). Rest is labour. But if they are not pressing out the bearing and dealing with that mumbo jumbo, the labour itself should be a tiny bit less.You can usually tell if its a bearing by listening to the noise as you go around a corner. It'll get louder the harder you turn. If only one is bad, its usually the one opposite the direction you are turning.
Or if they are really bad, do a bunch of driving and turning and then check if they are glowing with a thermal camera gun.
Or bad mexican food?
I wonder how many other people on bike forums will give you crap for building a new bike?
jonkranked is the Al Bundy of RM, where everything was the best when he was young.
Or EbolAIDS
Thankfully most times a headache is just a headache, and hopefully here too.
I'm busting his balls as he has previously - and recently - stated that he intended to ride what he had into the ground. Also he just had his second kid.
I'm only riding the old shit i already have while I wait out the lawsuit settlement. I'd rather ride my old stuff than nothing at all.
Assuming once the lawsuit is settled, it's gonna be new bike day?
Among other things, yes.
I am doing what I said... I won't build an XC or trail bike anytime soon, so long as both my existing bikes stay alive.
What I don't have is a strong, longer travel bike to ride some of the bigger stuff and go back to highland and thunder mountain again. And building something up in 26" would be ridiculous these days, despite it making you happy. Which is also a top priority for me, I assure you.
ridiculous yes, ridiculously cheap. i've given up on wheel size, the lizards have won. only reason i'm still on 26" is because its cheap, i have a good stockpile of it, and did i mention its cheap? and did i mention my wife lost her job as the result of a car accident so we're getting by on just my income?
Yea, at least JK and I can actually ride our antique bikes
and under our own power.
Internet gauntlet thrown down. I assume PMs with visual evidence of dick measuring will commence.
Just like owning an ebike
Well, at 260# the Yeti held up just fine. Just saying...
Again.....we don't all ride like a Nancy.
Was it a carbon one?
SB66c
I'll let @Nick, @Full Trucker, and the CO monkey's make that call. Last I checked I didn't either, but I more go fast and see what happens rather than huck.
but didn't that frame break?
stoney is super graceful, he rides like a ballerina riding a gazelle doing tai chi.
Not if you are an 8 year old.
I am proud to declare that my sense of humor has evolved to be sophomoric.
