All Things Bikes and Tacos! (...and every vehicle imaginable)

Headed down to Ride BHM with a friend and my brother. Let me know if you are headed out.

 

Thanks for all the feedback. Sounds like it is more Craftsman for me.

 

No complaints with this set from Jenson. Not at all made in US though.

Let’s meet up. I planned on going today. Probably be there around 11

 

My gps says I will get there at 11:05

 

Anybody available/interested in a Black Friday ride?

 

This is too many miles at a pedal park and I know I’m gonna feel it later.

It was nice meeting you today. Kinda wish we would’ve rode together, but friends were helping my jump progression today!

You driving to Asheville for Thanksgiving too, if so count me in!

Bum a ride with @levie125 next time. The place is good fun for sure.

 

Close but not likely. I’ll be at my folks house in Clayton Wednesday/Thursday, but most likely heading back south later Thursday. There’s a slim chance I could hang around and swing by Asheville on Friday, but not too likely.

 

Easy fire road ride (buddy's nursing a bad shoulder).

 

It was a last minute thing for me this morning. I’ll hit you up next time. The climb is awful steep after each run. Good place to ride and their trail ratings are not sandbagged at all.

 

Haha you’re good that’s not what I meant by my post. I couldn’t have ridden anyways. I just can’t wait to get back to a place in life where I can give some more priority to biking again.

 

Tried riding trails last week but with the amount of leaves down it was dangerous AF. Too many hidden loose boulders, tree roots and stumps caused me to quit early.

 

I winced looking at this photo.

 

Place is stepper than I thought! 2500' over 12 miles is solid

 

It's always a bummer when you see trails sanitized. This is a section of the entrance into Skyline (Napa, CA). The rocks you seen on the side used to be on the trail itself which was also rerouted.

 

I've got two mint condition bikes for sale. Owned by a Salsa employee so...almost perfect shape. Prices are very negotiable

Chasing a friend down one of the jump lines yesterday. He just started attempting this line late this summer and this was one of his first full runs though. Dude has come a long way!

I am so jealous of that type of riding. It looks like a ton of fun to jump like that but there is a self preservation voice in my head that chimes in all the time when going down a jump line. At the bike park watching people gracefully clear a big tabletop or double is something I want to do, but I'll just stick to technical runs at the moment.

 

What's the consensus behind dropper post diameter? The new frame will take a 34.8 mm, but I have the sleeve for the next size down. Any real reason to go with the larger diameter or sleeve down to the smaller one? Gut tells me go with the size that that frame was designed for and go with the larger diameter.
