Uh... Did you not look at the Amazon deal? $500 for the whole kit.REI has a 920XT "tri bundle" for $600. From what I can see, they are basically charging you an extra $100 for the additional $100 HRM-Swim chest strap. WHAT A DEAL.

The deal you sent yesterday was with the HRM-Run strap. This kit comes with two HRM straps (HRM-Run and HRM-Swim).

I have the prior and love it. I didn't know there was a swim strap until today.
Did you consider throwing him off NTM?
Yeah no, I didn't get the memo. Happy to hear it's not "just me" though...I've disseminated my displeasure with those POS tires at so many places that I might have accidentally skipped your PM mailbox.
The reason for the switch away from a Maxxis tire is that I had ANOTHER puncture in a HRII from a rock. Seems Maxxis has been going the way of "thin ass carcass" lately and quite frankly it pisses me off. Ah well, time to patch the friggin' hole in that bad larry and stick it back on my Felicia.
We were already in the parking lot, otherwise this would have been a fantastic idea.Did you consider throwing him off NTM?
I was led down the "you STILL don't have Maxxis?!?" path by friends. Purchased a DHR EXO and promptly pinch-flatted it at Deer Creek. Fucking thin-ass carcasses is right. Pissed me off too.
Michelin Rock'R2 is still under testing. So far so good. But FUCK are they heavy.
Sidewall related issues drove me from Maxxis to Specialized. I now have a set of Butchers on my bike and have absolutely no qualms about recommending them.
>searches frantically for wood to knock on< - I haven't had problems with exo sidewalls in terms of punctures; however, if I slack and don't keep the pressure up enough they flex and burp pretty easily, which could also be due to the fact of ghetto tubeless . . .
I destroyed two Gomas in the rear in a record time (each took less than a week - big holes in the sidewall), the one in the front felt like made of hard plastic - absolutely no traction despite its size and aggressively looking knobbage, especially in the wets. Goma sucks.
QFAMFT.
I seriously feel like I need to form a support group these tires huff so much dong.

Also, more macro building in the office today. Included a Howdy pop-up as a query refresh runs.
Took that option on your mom last night.Some trail faries built a jumpy jump option.
What? Who doesn't love a good Your Mom joke?
GNOMES, we're called Gnomes. Not "trail fairies". Get it straight man.Boom goes the dynamite.

Sounds like improper casing choice to me
Well, it's not a DH bike but I am certainly starting to consider just getting the DH casing version.
In the Good Ol' Days© this never seemed to be a problem. Because tubes? Reminds me of an oldie but a goodie:

12 miles this evening, in stuff ruff & tuff, and some buff. There's a chance of a ride with Sandwich tomorrow if he decides what time works for him.
Kids and we slept until the 4:30 sunrise. Wtf, Japan: why does the sun rise so early?! Today we visit my grandmother again, finally get to Shibuya, and see a 9 story stationary store in Ginza. My 3 year old loves coloring so will be over the moon with the last.
It looks like rain for the next several days and temps in the low 50s. I'm spending my time learning my new gopro session. So far I have it paired to my tablet and desk to but cannot get it paired to my $9.99 cell phone. There must be a way...
Tgif. Rainy rain all weekend. Kinda down in the dumps. Thankfully, theres nothing quite like heckling @ the lbs...
So yeah, Japan scammed most of their early culture from China who's scholars thought the origin on the sun was just east of Japan hence Nippon or Sun's Origin. Time has to start somewhere...
Still sick, but went riding anyways. The weather here is perfect, so I couldn't picture myself sitting on my ass for another night. Good ride, but god damn is this cold killing my lungs. I feel weak and I was a total mosquito eating mouth breather on the trail tonight. Went I got to the trail, I was the only car parked at the trailhead. When I left, there was about 10 cars. All bikes, which is pretty cool.
@slyfink the trilliums aren't dead yet.....Went to this spot for the roots and admittedly the flowers. This particular forest is literally covered in them.

I usually case a jump on my ride. I hit it. But my landings are not so pretty. I hit it today with a bit to much speed. Scared myself. But landed it perfectly. Feeling proud I hit it again. Nailed it. Braggard moment...
