    Rain will come. Eventually. October worst case! Anyway I know I will need fenders, and yes I have been eyeballing the threaded blind holes in the fork..........
    So I bought this and this:

    Pricey but wanted bolt on, solid fit.

    REAR fender question. How? I don't see many (good) options. What are you using for a rear fender?:anonymous:

    Ended up with a nice bike in a trade. Basically got it for $500. Replacing a few things this week as you can see. Pedal pins, chain, rotors, pads, dropper post cable. Might sell it, but so tempting to keep.

    My buddy just got a gravel bike and I’m going to help him get it setup (his first bike as an adult). What kind of tire pressures should I start him with? He’s a big dude (at least 250).

    We got the rain here in New England. I won’t complain usually this time of year my lawn takes on a nice shade of beige. Seems to be doing good this year.

    not enough.
    That depends on tires. And tubeless vs tubed. Generally speaking, keep those tubes a little higher in pressure. But for tubeless on say...35c tires, you should probably do 40 or 50. Wider tires, and you can drop it down a little. At least that's my opinion.

    Getting some great use out of the Meta. Great trip with the lady biking above 10,000ft. Had some smoke roll in but the jet stream moved at the end. Hope everyone is getting their summer fill.

    It’s a pretty cheepo bikesdirect type of bike. So tubes and not sure what size tires yet. So maybe start him at 50 f/r?

    I’d say 50-60 PSI if the tires are 40mm-ish (depending on the max rated pressure). Go up from 60 the thinner the tire is.

    Apparently they don't fix it to keep the horse riders off the trail. Fine with that. Only cows to watch out for in the fall.

    You always get me thinking I should just get a Following! How much do you think the coil adds to the "this bike can handle anything" feeling?

    Was wondering if you upgraded... Thoughts? My Wrecker was transformed, maybe it's the longer travel.

    Yea buddy, I ended up ordering a lighter coil and it’s been superb.

    Agreed. I was just saying that in my lowly hands and meager terrain I honestly can’t say I notice the coil shock making it a more capable bike though. I can say it made a bike I loved even more lovable.

    Sign me up It’s a nice bike, just probably a bit too much for what I do currently. Still tempting to keep it, but might try to find something around the 140-150 range for travel. Hit me up! Replacing a few things this week and getting it tuned up. Someone stole my damn tools a couple weeks back, so I’m having my friend help me out.

    Well took him for a shakedown ride after assembly. 60psi to start and he gets a flat tire about 1.5 miles in (old gravel road). Luckily I was able to squeeze my spare 27.5 tube in there. A bit later we hear a loud pop but can't find anything wrong. At about mile 6 one of the cheepo plastic pedals that came with the bike completely disintegrates and falls off! Never seen anything like it! :rofl: He finished the ride back to the car on the axle. I did say he was a big dude.
