It's more of a flood. I switched to it from a L&M Taz1200. I like the Hangover a lot more for the low weight / center of gravity - way less bobble-head. It definitely has a less defined spotlight, but at the same time, it throws a much wider flood that helps give back some peripheral vision. Apparently the guy is working on an "EVO" version intended for the handlebar which is essentially the Hangover doubled up, and will cost about $230. I'll get that to replace the Taz2000 on my bars, because I like the wider beam pattern so much.

Two more days to enter the Secret Santa!
Entries must be in by midnight on November 29th. We're kicking off the 2024 Secret Santa! Exchange gifts with other monkeys - from beer and snacks, to bike gear, to custom machined holiday decorations and tools by our more talented members, there's something for everyone.
They've just killed the only fun-ish short descent in the LLF.
But hey, the new re-route is now fun to climb.
A bunch of stuff up here has been suffering from dumb-down.They've just killed the only fun-ish short descent in the LLF.

Seems like a problem everywhere.
Which is ironic, seeing how goddamn capable the new bikes are.
I'm kinda opposite, I like the flood on my bars and the spot on my helmet.
I blame 29ers and wide handlebars. At least here it seems that tight turns get removed and trees/brushes close to the trail removed to avoid tight spots. Those big wheel and 800 mm handlebars need room to breath after all.
I have a pair of Piko x4s. Have been incredibly impressed with them. The quality is off the charts imo.
Park tool.
They didn't have to do anything for me since my stand is 7 years old. I gave them my cc and shipping info knowing the part was $35. But instead they sent me a part for free even though the warranty is long gone (if there is a warranty on stands).
Thanks Park!

It was at a shop near Vancouver BC (suburb really). I saw it and bought it right away knowing they were hard to find. The normal Marsh guard worked ok but it's nice having something that looks integrated.
what happened to the business? I have a couple glowworm lights now...
Went out of business. Seemingly identical RAKC Lighting sprung up. Likely all sourcing from the same factory...
they came back as RAKC at one point, but it seems they're gone now too.
a certain roadie brand changing a few things about mtb clothing in a good way. so far they understand us quite well and know what we think about them. no dentist lvl, no mx stuff, style galore, lizards gonna be lizards though.
next time be more cryptic.
soon
Just from knowing who he is working for you can make an educated guess.

Pay attention, man!
This is what's wrong with The Industry™
My local riding spot is getting close to having more e-bikes than real bikes. Here too. Speshy was smart and handed them out to some local moto guys to insta-push, and also went to some Hare Scrambles with the full e-bike demo show. Now all the old moto guys are going crazy for them...

Rapha MTB? which would probably be pretty sweet
too bad not kitsbow, 'cause they're doing some good stuff around here.
Yes! Their Pendleton wool stuff is real nice. I met JKW and one of the guys from Kitsbow once in Whistler. Nice people!
these jobs are all in trumpland sadly. squamish would have been a much better fit for the new hq than bentonville.
Never in a million years!
they have to pay people to move there!
I heard Rapha has MTB kit coming soon too.
I'm more of a 3 jerseys for $150 dude though.
I'd probably rock a full-pajama Viathon outfit!

I'm more of a 3 t-shirts for $60 dude
In truth, the last jerseys I bought were about 5 years ago and they were back when CRC used to have deals. ~$30 each.
Easily see these lasting another 5.
Pricing of stuff these days is a little nutty.
I don't understand the point to "MTB" Jerseys. They are little more than technical tees for bike fashionistas. I personally find cheap base layer shirts from Champion or Duofold to to not only work well but are cheap.I'm more of a 3 t-shirts for $60 dude

Winter riding is challenging here as temps are near freezing with 100% humidity. I have a heavy marino base layer I got from REI for less than $40
Lots of REI and EMS house brand wool/poly/fleece stuff for winter here. Cheap, and it works! The "bike" specific jerseys I've got are all slowly dying, and won't be replaced with similar.
That's what I've observed. Mostly fashion and brand allegiance. Gone are the days the jerseys had a special purpose, like pockets in the back or full zip to vent and the like.
Will be eying rei/mec style base layer shirts when these wear out in... like 5-10 years.
I really used to like the xc jerseys from the 90s because those things were cool and were mostly about the bike brand (klein, fat city, etc.). Still use some of those for road riding with the leg shavers

I chuckle at people's attempts to rid themselves of a camelback with fanny packs and strapping various things to their bikes when that problem was solved with pockets in XC jerseys. Yeah they look dumb, but no more than a fanny pack.
i'm known as "dirty white t" guy among my buddies. when it gets cold i'll throw a flannel on. i do have a decent shell for rain. sure as hell not gonna shell out $ for a "kit."
summers here are hot and humid...if you're gonna sweat through a white t you're gonna sweat through a "tech base layer" too.

Climate goes from mild along the coast to desert hot a few hours inland. Throw in some easily obtainable 5000 ft elevation changes and you can see any condition, sometimes on the same ride.
True. I just run whatever brand jerseys are on sale mostly. I find riding in anything else becomes way to sweaty and wet very quickly but i sweat like a Wookie in a sauna.
