I rode down it, then she arrived so I explained that I cleaned it. She didn't believe me, so I went back up and did it again before she could say anything. That's when she expressed her opinion on the matter.
But that part is actually not the hardest on that particular trail. It's the most intimidating, but there is another rock slab that has some cracks, random chunks and big roots; that one is the type of one that once you start rolling, there is no turning back. She just closed her eyes while I did it. Haha
She's only been riding trails for a year now and progressed pretty fast. But has reached a plateau on the skill front. I dont think she realizes how good these bikes will just plow through the roots. Been trying to find her some good one on one lessons, but that is hard to come by apparently...
what ever happened to mombat since that guy died?
??????.....wha...
No. I find it much more enjoyable to just ride my fancy bike and refrain from bitching about having a click too much HSC or whatever.
Trails here are dusty and all the off camber corners are getting a little sketchy. Bugs were out in force today, too.
That is pretty much it. To get small bump i had to way drop the PSI, but I blew through the travel every bump. I'll call you some evening when I have a chance.Gimme a call this week, or something. Interested in hearing what you’re not liking about the fork... as that would be more helpful than than just “it feels terrible and needs tuned.”
That said, nearly everyone I know has volume reducing spacers. Without a smaller air chamber, to get good small bump sensitivity you’re gonna blow through travel like a Colfax hooker blows through coke. To keep from finding the bottom every other hit, it’ll have no bump absorption. I mean, maybe newer ones / yours are different, but that’s been the key to the last three 36s I’ve owned. YMMV.
I’ve read a lot of things on the Internet.
I tried this for a while with Wifey. I had a good friend giving her recommendations on how to do things, he'd show her misc things that I told him she was having issues with, etc. Finally he got sick of it and told her to just listen to me because all of the stuff that he was telling her was stuff that I had helped him with. Once she realized how good I was/had been, she started listening.
I bet the same for you. Have some of your riding buddies help out with stuff in exchange for beer, then get them to point out that you are equal/faster than them and she should really be listening to you.

When R U moving to SLO?
Just don't rush things.
My wife has done 99% of all her riding with me slowly teaching her. It's been frustrating at times early on, but she'll ride most things I ride now, just not as fast.
Evening e-shopping rampage for the new bike and to get Haley's finished. My stuff should be here by Friday for a ride this weekend. Haley's mid-next week latest. Maybe I can have it dialed before I leave for Whistler? 
Yeah. I fear the karma of registration of the trails we enjoyed.
I know I’m a wiener and PB cant take that away from me!
Topped out at 42. Just the wrong 42....
That shopping rampage better damn we’ll have included VOLUME REDUCERS FOR YOUR FORK.Evening e-shopping rampage for the new bike and to get Haley's finished.

Front and back and tires.
I feel like you're just not listening.
I am listening. I got spacers for both the front and the back so I can adjust them as needed. And I also got tires.
Pfew. Thought I was gonna have to punch you in the earlobe. I think you’ll wanna start with three additional spacers in that fork as a baseline.
Do they make wookie-shimz?
