Even my boss can't pay me to ride in the rain. I drive the van those days. Not because of brakes. Because I don't like being cold and wet.I’ll race ya on a super steep downhill in the rain!

MTB in rain - yes, road - hell no.Literally, the best time to ride. No hikers that moved into are from LA and Bay Area messing everything up or crazy Horse Women. All alone no noise, no shadows.......I went out to a sandy spot like 7-8 years ago and it was a downpour. Probably had 40 mph winds going. Cold as hell, hard to see but nobody on the trail.
Thunderstorms are a hard-Nope for me. Way too dangerous.Literally, the best time to ride. No hikers that moved into are from LA and Bay Area messing everything up or crazy Horse Women.

Here you will get immobilized by clay soil, hit by a lightning bolt, and then eaten by a Grizzly or a pack of Wolves.Literally, the best time to ride.

I'm still riding a rim brake road bike. At the 100+ person tour I'm currently on my bike is by far the lightest and cost less than $3000. My Dura-ace brakes on DT alloy rims work great.
Gun to my head, buy date was probably July/August range 2021Awesome, cheers.
Does the lever stroke stay pretty constant towards end of pad life, esp on the rear brake? Got a rough buy date on them?
I wonder if they updated em. Similar to you I didn't get a super crisp bleed on the set I installed either, but it was good enough.
Pretty cool perspective. What’s immediately noticeable are changes in speed and elevation. Seems like a lot of work to put this together, and then for the pilot to perform.Absolutely sick work from the boys.
Analog repeaters and all on one battery pack, mind numbing
The reception is whats mind numbing. The video feed for FPV quads runs off 5.8 Ghz due to low latency but inherently has very poor range and can be blocked very easily so you essentially have to have line of sight for a decent transmission, you lose your video feed, its a crash. The fact they used a mavic as a roaming repeater and several daisy chained signal boosters along the route and still had crappy video and were able to fly with all that interference is insane.Pretty cool perspective.

The full phrase before the American bastardisation to make no sense should actually be "mind numbingly boring"...
You're pretty good at fucking this sort of thing up though.

How is your English after many years abroad?Doods, everybody sounds like an idiot speaking in a different language.
That sounds incredibly similar to me, haha. My English is not what it used to be.How is your English after many years abroad?
My 3 main languages are French, Swedish and English. I use them daily and even dream in either of them. Now after 20 years abroad even French feels like a foreign language: I have to search for some words and my vocabulary is limited to what I needed until my years at university.
Seriously, we need a throw up reaction emoji @binary visionsFinally, a useful DH improvement!

Holy crap perfect....Just got my "Changing Robe". Apparently it's been a thing for surfers for a while. Wish I would've known that before a park ranger threatened me with jail time if I ever change into my chamois in the parking lot ever again....
A little overkill for me, but you can't be too warm and dry, right?!

Holy crap perfect....
Some spots I ride after work are right next to a city path and rows of houses, the amount of times I've had to say screw it and just ride in my boxers* rather than mooning the neighborhood...and you know how it goes trying to change quickly, foot get stuck in the grippy shit in the chamois every time, thus extending the freak show.
*yeah yeah i have a delicate taint.
Did you cause any to trip and fall?I once went for an afterwork ride and was the only car in the parking lot. So I proceeded to drop trou to change thinking I was alone only to hear the University of Virginia women's cross country team to go running by.
Did you cause any to trip and fall?
That's kind of like walking off into the bush to take a leak, thinking you're hidden, only to realize nope, you're right next to another trail...as passing riders wave at you.
