"get away with" sure

"do it right" absolutely not

You just said 'too fast' in reference to a descent.

Man card pulled.
Haha, I was making an attempt at sarcasm. Here’s another attempt. I hate DH bikes, bike parks and just lust after some long meandering climbs. Like I said before they suck at the climbs.


Just in case I’m too cryptic and think I’m funnier than I am. I like DH a lot.
This week’s DH stuff.
I just finished another DH frame.

2nd is the first looser? I don’t even know what we’re hating on anymore but fuck ‘em all!!!

The tram is open everyday for bikes in Champery, btw... Just in case anyone wants to pop on over for a lap? 3000 ft per lap of unearned verticals.

When do you start the Ridemonkey batch??
I mean, you can buy these frames. Granted, slightly different geometry, but you get lighter aluminum or carbon front ends. I think the guy selling them is named "Scott", at least this is what he writes on the downtubes of his bikes. :D

Drop the batteries before start for maximum enjoyment!!!
Or maybe an E-Bike Battery hunt? Start the race with no bateries and you progressively race towards checkpoints with batteries with more charge where you have to swap your battery. The first one lasts only for 500m. The next one for 1000m. Since we are going for the absurd why not go full yolo.

Dafuq are "high performance shims"?
They’re made with hardened spring steel instead of random steel and hopefully we’ll deburred

Just removed a fork for service from one of our households Kona bikes and discovered the FSA headset is open cage bearings...
