I am not sure why I went short. Can swap back in under 5 minutes if I don't like it.I’m not sure if I like the long stem or not. First ride so I’ll give it some time. First ride ever on a 29er, these things goes fast...... I almost lost it going down hill.
Evil Sovereign.What bike is that? I see what looks like an Evil logo on the downtube... didn't know they made an 853 Reynolds hardtail
We're still to ride thereI SHOULD have called 6th and his wife but it was a last minute plan this morning.
Soon. it's really SO good and much fun. If you and S can get out mid-week or better still early morning just go ride it. Top loop seems as it would go great either way, but CCW was super fun.We're still to ride there
But we were probably somewhere on Chimpex. I almost called you as we left and told you to meet us on the climb. Windy Saddle and the road were so packed with cars we climbed on the road up through the switchbacks and ducked back in at the gate.
Evil did, 15 years ago in the previous iteration of the company. It’s a Sovereign, v1.What bike is that? I see what looks like an Evil logo on the downtube... didn't know they made an 853 Reynolds hardtail
where u ride?What an amazing temperature difference with the front that rolled through last night. Felt so incredibly fresh and lush this morning. Bit of moisture in the dirt too. Perfect conditions.

The stem on my bike is 110mm. I'm not comparing or anything just saying mine is longer than yours.I am not sure why I went short. Can swap back in under 5 minutes if I don't like it.
It's complicated. It is a 170/150mm 27.5" bike with 12.8" BB and a Hightower CC frame.Hightower?

I raced it many times when I lived on the east coast, too far to get to now. It's the best race experience from all of the 100 milers I raced (lots of them).Dig the SM100 shirt. Was considering going back until COVID.
I didn't think of that. I usually cut all the way back to the trail bed if at all possible. Typically don't have a big problem with ATVs but it doesn't take many to ruin a good piece of singletrack.I like the NO ATV width
The Biggest Hole on Earth.
GLWTThe pit and its water present a serious environmental problem because the water, with dissolved oxygen, allows pyrite and sulfide minerals in the ore and wall rocks to decay, releasing acid. When the pit water level eventually reaches the natural water table, estimated to occur around 2020, the pit water will reverse flow back into surrounding groundwater, polluting Silver Bow Creek, which is the headwaters of Clark Fork of the Columbia River.[1] The acidic water in the pit carries a heavy load of dissolved heavy metals. The pit's water contains so much metal that at one point one of its owners, Montana Resources, mined copper directly from the water.
We have a moderately severe ATV issue on this trail system.I didn't think of that. I usually cut all the way back to the trail bed if at all possible. Typically don't have a big problem with ATVs but it doesn't take many to ruin a good piece of singletrack.
Vivid memories of tent caterpillars from my youth! Feel bad about how many I squashed!These guys didn't get the physical distancing memo.
First, let me say that I deny all responsibility - all I did was look. Second, bodies (large and small) are never recovered although, you have to be careful with the security cameras and be prepared to move quickly - it's a 24/7 operation and you don't want to be spotted.GLWT
Orgies are exempt if participants are closely related. Could be wrong, might be thinking of Arkansas.These guys didn't get the physical distancing memo.
