No, but I grew up North end of Marin........so yeah. Our friend who placed top 10 at the last Hangtown MX 500 race used to ride in the hills. Had a water tank cut into the hillside he used to ride the hill cutout like a half pipe on the 500. Must have been 60-90 feet from edge to edge. The cops never caught him....

You see? I had your back when you went "ebikes cause problems". Since that's a real argument if it's true. But the whole "vegan milk is not milk" is literally the angry meatboy debate but with bikes. Who cares what we name them? Either e-bikes cause problems or not. It doesn't matter if we call them E-Bikes, Mopeds or Satan.
Gary I'm sorry I didn't buy a bike when no bike I was interested in was available due to supply shortages. I hope you can forgive me. I also hope you don't think I'm an inferior, lower class of biker because I didn't rush with the wrap when I could not ride anyway so me wrapping it faster would not made me ride faster (If you really want I can provide you rotting toe pictures as proof so you can excuse me and not deduct true biker points from me).
Though I know I can never pass your strict test of what it means to be a true biker but thankfully I enjoy my riding away from judgmental people who think you can only have fun if you follow some dumb arbitrary bikebro rules.

That's why not the "all trails require it". Sure I'd use thick sidewalls on a rocky trail or if the trail or my skill created latteral loads that resulted in float. Not judging. Some people need it.
It's just too many people assume they need it (hell I was one of them for a long time)

Like you both didn't drive to Keystone in a car? LOL Then take a car up to A-basin/Lenawee.
Maybe that wasn't an option. But definitely an option when lightning closes Keystone. That is my main reason. But usually on a DH bike.
I only know one masochist named Jerry (You probably know him) who would not only ride his DH bike up highway 6 and then up the service road at A-basin to reach Lenawee.
The Legend of Jerry continues into riding up Vail pass from the village because just doing 2elks/Commando Run wasn't enough. Probably cuz we shuttled it.
Yeah, I think I'd rather hit the Kickapoo. LOL Depending on how many laps I got in before hand...Nope.Parked at Keystone, pedaled up LL Pass, then climbed A-Basin, then descended.
@Gary , quit messing around with your neutered moped and buy this Hanebrink: https://m.pinkbike.com/buysell/3356041/
You think Special ED will just make an E Moto? My friend that used to work at SHOWA has one he is looking at comes kitted with KYB suspension I believe. If they weigh 200LBS or 150 it need an MX set up....

I'd hit that.
But environment. Battery. Explosions. And I'm a hypocrite for bringing it up cuz I have an ebike...my friends have Teslas....etc. ad nauseum
But FUN! YAY!
To make a double barrel launcher to fire satsumas at moany faced cunts clogging up. MY climbs on their normal bikes?
Good shout!
Cheers
King only makes boost and super boost hubs? But they make rim brake hubs too. No 135/142 or 150mm hubs?

What year did Chris King stop using a needle bearing in...
AKA, what is the last year to get a "good" King hub? ;) I have used King hubs on/off for 25+ years, and love them for the serviceability and bombproof design. The last new set I got was circa 2016 or so and is ISO disk mount and has a needle bearing in the cassette driver unit (as they all...

What's CLD?
Center Lock Disk. CK stopped offering ISO 6-bolt disk mounts a few years ago.
I would never build a custom set of wheels with centerlock, but when you buy a new bike and the wheels it comes with has centerlock. You're kinda stuck. Unless you want to spend all that time and energy to convert. Speaking from experience. But that's with an ebike and I'm a dumbass for buying one
Dumbass's thing is: They put the magnet in the centerlock to not only have your ebike work but to track your speed, distance, etc. So if you change a wheel to 6 bolt, you gotta hack/bodge the magnet to make your ebike work. I know cuz I've done this.
Now that I have a few CL rotor hubs, I think it's fine. The only downside is the stack of 6b rotors I have, but if the industry lizards have taught us anything it's that they WILL change standards and we WILL fall in line, sooner or later.
does shimano still charge a licensing fee for centerlock?
anything in good/sellable condition?
yep. 6, 7 and 8" shimano and formula 6b rotors. what do you need?
honestly, while I like to keep all bikes uniform (brakes, tires, etc) having CL rotors on the road bike and new trail bike is a non-issue. tighten the lock ring properly and it's set and forget.
lemme check my inventory and condition of what I have tonight and i'll get back to you
Nope, but as with Microspline, you have to be in their buddy list to be able to sell Centerlock components.
