is that an american thing again where they want to look more european?
You will reconsider tis when you see people wearing toques with fanny pack, sandals with socks while carrying hiking sticks.
I'd mention the strange pants but I believe these are of the working class and I don't think sethimus would sully his hands with labor.

thats not euro, thats just someone unfamiliar with life and its consequences
Hey!
I wear socks with sandals all the bloody time, and I like it.
But then again, I am miles into the bush on the bank of some lake making camp.
Seriously though, a pair of boots, a pair of sandals and some sock and your good to go. That combo just works in the bush and one great benefit, it helps keeps little bits of forest floor detritus from stabbing you between the piggies.

deep down americans are insecure because all their ancestors were migrants and that clashes with their christian white power politics
How else is one supposed to operate the grill in the snow during the winter? Put on winter boots? Aint nobody got time for that!
It's a Canadian thing, where we don't want to freeze our ears off...
and is an extra barrier to mosquitos, black flies, deer flies and horse flies taking large chunks of flesh off...
I saw the headline €250000 stolen from pinarello and was going to post a sarcastic “2 bikes stolen”. The reality is that it’s 19 bikes.
19 bicycles, 250,000 euros.
fuck me.
you're not even good at making fun of us
Given your superior jeans and lineage, you should know exactly that christian white power has nothing to do with migrating and everything to do with conquering.
You know. Like those dreams you have. The ones that definitely never morph into you standing in front of the mirror in costumes and making poses when no one is looking.

seth's superior genes allow him to always fit in superior jeans
In fact anything seth does (or is born into) is superior. Just ask him.
*Insulated rubber boots has entered the chat.
Speed, warmth, deeper snow/farther grill capabilities.
BOGGS BABY!!!
1 size bigger and they're basically slippers!
10,000 6am and 10pm dog potty breaks later in feet of snow and I'm here to vouch!
my 11 speed mechanical drivetrain may be unsexy & dumb as a brick, but it's cheap & robust - and doesn't have a 17 page problem support thread: https://www.mtbr.com/threads/got-sram-transmission-got-problems-post-here.1220211/
yay, progress?
yay, progress?
I just got a Zee derailleur for my 11spd DH Ransom.
Im slowly converting over to 12spd derailleurs. Just need the other 3/4 to fail or wear out. No plans to change from 11 gears tho, works great with 12 derailleur.
We had a group ride last saturday and a kid was asking if anyone had spare batteries for their shifter - the battery had died and they wuz stuck in one gear.
LMAO. It's bound to happen. It's easy to remember to charge the battery pack on the derailer or seat post. But the little coin sized battery in the shifter/lever is easily forgotten.
Have that kid tape a reserve battery (CR2032 or whatever) to the bike so it's there next time. That's what I do.
That's a great idea. A coin battery taped to the bottom of the stem or something. I have trouble with my shifters in the cold. They're fine when it's warm, but sometimes one shifter or both will simply quit below 40 degrees.
if you go electric for the drivetrain then you don't need to worry about Di2 batteries going dead
just sayin'
I bet there is a market for a little generator that charges your electronic shifting system when you push some kind of lever.
perhaps a lever-arm that could be sized such that people could use their feet to push on stubby things at the end of said levers
Hmmm...so my newest eeb's derailer connects to the main battery. Why couldn't the shifter/lever/seatpost, etc.? It still has a wire going to it or to "something"
IDK it's probably easier, cheaper, lighter to do the coin battery. That's why it's designed that way.

This sounds odd, most of the serious riders here are using electronic shifters in the cold, like way way colder than that, with no problems. Not just random people, but the owners of the large bike shops and and fat bike companies, the ones that won't spec certain components unless they actually work in the cold.
You don't by chance continually store this shifter in a cold location?
SRAM? My all-Shimano system runs off the main pack only.
I lo
"It skips in 3rd gear, but other than that, I love it! If you're looking to upgrade, totally worth it!"
I love dumb ass reviews like

No, bike is kept in a climate controlled basement. My first battery set died after 2.5 years and 3000 miles? of use on a pretty cold day (45 degrees maybe). I replaced them both and got a warning during a 38 degree ride start. Once it started to warm up and the shifters got used, things worked fine (and have since). My bet is I put some older or bad batteries in. Still, having a set of coin batteries on hand would make things easier should the need arise out on a ride. RM loves to shit on electronic shifting but I'll take ~3 years with zero maintenance and zero adjustments vs. very careful setup and regular adjustment to cable tension with a constant risk of cable breakage or housing damage. We'll debate whether a 42a durometer tire is better than 40a durometer but having to recharge a battery every 10 rides is an absolute no-no.
