Come on don't hold out. Let's see it!
Rad! Which one did you get him?
Very cool! I met their team manager once and I absolutely loved hearing the stories about chaotic film shoots and managing an extremely young team.Raiju 20” hardtail. Wondering if I should make it single speed like his current bike.
Fuckfuckfuck, I am jonesing to ride a bike, any kind of bike, but PT says no way, José.
Thinking about one-armed Zwifting, but that just doesn’t sound very…comfortable.

I'd say leave the gears on, explain how they work, he can always just stick it in the middle of the cassette and not shift.Raiju 20” hardtail. Wondering if I should make it single speed like his current bike.
I do similar on my rigid 29er on occasion, just stick it in a certain gear and "SS" for the ride.
I’ve probably said it a dozen times in this thread alone, but when you post pics like that, I think of riding in Nickerson out on the Cape when visiting the folks for Christmas. Makes me super nostalgic. Thx!
Also, I do actually ride. The dog in the bottom rigjt is a total nutter. Didn’t realize I caught him that pose. He is chasing rain…not trying to eat me.
Then there is this odd little creature. Strange looking, but so fast!

I always wear pants and pads, pants basically for protection against whipped legs from the tight trails w. dense plants and bug bites. I have a lighter pair (Fox Attack IIRC) for summer and some (basically MX) Fox 360s for colder weather. It never really gets super cold here, like it has snowed once in ten years.
Generally if it's under 40F I'm in pants. Or shants/manpris. The winter shoes come out if it's under 30F.
Don't you find the MX pants too bulky for trail riding? I go with thermal tights and softshell shorts but am looking for warm pants.
Long pants year round these days, specifically Levis.
So first just to clarify, even in winter a cold day where I ride is like 5°C here, maybe a bit less with wind. Summer can get pretty hot but I’d say for the most part I ride in teens and low 20s C. Having used thermals for hiking and skiing I would say for sure that pants are not as hot as those, but I never wore those mtb ones. If you’re looking for ‘hot pants’ as it were these might not be enough.
For ages BC I used Dainese mtb pants and those were all way burlier material than the 360s I run now. Can’t seem to get them anymore though. I think the fit and articulation are the most important provided they are cool enough/temperature appropriate. Even the old Dainese wicked really well and I never thought of them as ‘hot’.
Fox stuff also generally fits me really well, the bends are in the right places for me as it were, and they aren’t as heavy as you might think. When I first got them (mail order from DE of course lol) they felt almost cheap to what I was expecting, but they’re a couple of years old now and a few crashes and many butt buzzes deep, all still good except for one lightly shreaded knee panel over my pad shell and that just looks cool. I have some chunky canvas shorts that easily weigh more than the 360s. Although the shin and thighs are sturdy, stuff like the rear of the calf is basically just a fancy mesh and you can feel a breeze through it.
