but tree-sizing will allow you to boast on the Internet about how your trails are so tight and you have to run 600mm bars.

How come? Just a generic stem?
One of my favorite trails that no longer exists had a section that required you to manual or jump while rotating your bars to fit them between trees, and that was when I was running 580mm bars. Shoulders also had to be rotated and elbows tucked in.
The EDC feature. My bars twisted a bit when I clipped that rock. Loosening the stem to do that unloads the headset.
In hindsight, no so cool.
Too bad no action pics, sideways 580mm bars would be hot.
Why? Discuss, please.
Well, I had it bolted on and went for a ride for the next day, so it's entirely possible I'm just a dummy.
However, if you need to straighten your bars, you need to loosen the steerer clamp bolts. Once you do that, you completely unload the headset bearings. So, if you need to do this trailside, it becomes a bit of a production.
Another thing I found was that you need to have a 2nd allen wrench to hold the pre-load bolt lock nut. If all you are carring is your EDC tool, you can't do it.
Maybe I just need some practice. Anyone here with advice, please share.
Interesting, so it has some fiddly nonsense.

What if you loosen the pinch bolts and had someone or even yourself just put body weight on the handlebars to pre load the headset? Then tighten.
Or!
Try it now?

Where is that? Jim Rep for you...
RIding again!
^how are y'all uploading you pics? for some reason when I try and put one in it comes out as it looks above or it says file to large.WTH?
Permij for you.
Fucking PITA - I have to open the file in something like Photoshop and shrink it.
Road some greenway and dirt road action on Saturday. The city has some new landscapers clearing Kudzu.
Today was an average hike at the Rock. Four hours with 25 pounds. First time hiking two days in a row. Legs might be a bit sore tomorrow.
Anybody know what kind of scat this is ? Google is inconclusive. Could be Coyote or Mountain Lion. I would think big kitty with all the fur. But officially we don't have mountain lions in this area. I've seen tracks along the Yadkin river and there have been sightings.
I upload to imgur app on my phone (can keep things private), copy link and paste here.
3 permijs for you....
Nice socks.
