But the most actual dirt miles. August was a lot of traveling with no riding.
Trainers not ideal but given my current circumstances I'll take that over sitting around getting fat.
When you got too poor for N +9 or whatever.
But if the reach is < 500mm and the HA is > 65 degrees isn't it an XC bike now?
Is that real chili?
yellow.
Make sure to ask them what they do with your discarded knee after the surgery.
I wanna keep it in a vodka bottle or something.
Monarch showed -2 freedums at 2 pm.
I've only got 44k of vert in less than 250 miles.
My trails suck.I've only got 44k of vert in less than 250 miles.
Well look at it this way. You may have a better return on climbing investment. I can climb for over an hour, and be back at the bottom in 15 minutes on some trails.
People with skills do it in less than 10 minutes.

Good burn going. 30 minutes on the elliptical followed by 30 minutes of weights, 3 rotations doing sets of 20 at 6 stations and 150 sit ups
1. Bullshit on slow. You just happen to ride with a bunch of former semi-pro/pro riders who you are comparatively* slow to.
2. @dan-o If it fit on my bike, I would have it already. Everything Nick has told me I should try (bike, ski, etc) has been beyond impressive. When Nick says "best shock he's ever ridden", because he's ridden them all, it's worth listening.
*Even then, that's a very loose description. I'd love to see what would happen if we dropped you into a Master's race.

It's called Enduro now
Only if @Nick owns a fanny pack.
Hmm... It's a possibility.
I'll be getting in some serious vert starting in Spring. Thru Hiking the Appalachian Trail has an elevation gain of over 464,000 ft., the equivalent of climbing Mt. Everest from sea level 16 times. I'll either waste away to a frail old man, or build massive legs and tiny arms like a T-rex. But I could be down for some prehistoric, apex predator lizardness.I've only got 44k of vert in less than 250 miles.
Do they make a wolves howling at the moon version ?
There are going to be a lot of lonely nights. I would guess one of your arms will get rather strong.
Evening Monkeys.
Fox says it's $175 guess to fix my fork, I think it would be worth it since I got it so cheap to begin with. Bman was excited to get his pedals for the P3 and I am still on the hunt for an 18 for Lil Man.
I don't think the new pooch will be up for trail rides, but I know she will be down for a hike of shorter distance. The wife doesn't think we will be able to take Frita out now with 3 dogs, but I think it will be manageable. I guess we will find out.
There is an Aprilia Tuono 1000R for sale local that is so dentist level. BST carbon wheels, carbon exhaust hangers, it's nutty. But my heels hit the exhaust, it's the worlds most annoying exhaust design. I so want to like that bike, but I just can't get over the exhaust.

Only reason I didn't get one is because I'm at the upper weight limit of the version for my current frame.
their midpoint is 170#. i went 170+, as it's not likely i'm getting any slimmer
I still think a custom valved monotube shock with a proper shim stack is a better choice than the uber-adjustable poppetry.
Hmm. You just gave me an idea for a brand of MTB components called Flounder. For the fat drunk and stupid.
Instead of a motto like "I wanna go fast" it would be "I like Money"
The saddle would be called "Oww, My balls"
The DH bike would be called the DillDozer.
A highly adjustable shock does give you the ability to alter according to the terrain. At home I deal with a lot of high speed hits and g-outs. This week is more slow speed tech with lots of square edged rocks. But I do see the value in having an expert set things up for you. It took me weeks to get my base tune squared away, but I guess a lot of that was a steep learning curve.
you ended up with a Ripmo, yes?
did you test ride the HD5 before buying the 9r? Ibis is on my short list as I like DW-bikes and I have a slight hook up, but the HD5 ticks a lot of the same boxes and I can keep my current wheels.
What I really need is about 100 people to get on board with getting one for a Nukeproof Megatrail29, then I can buy one.
remember, lots and lots of people get along just fine with air shocks.
I bet you can get your X2 super dialed, especially since you've lost so much weight.

That thing is burning up after a run down Chimney. How do you think a real trail treats it?
Although they did just have to rebuild it on warranty after 6 rides...
