    Just wait two more years until even XC bikes are "longer, lower and slacker" and 33"s are the new 26", LOL.

    All kidding aside, what's the deal with the Grim Donut review on pinkbike??? My butthurt level is maximum right now.

    Anyone have a recommendation on how to get into the 29er game, buy new or find a used bike? I am 6'2" so I assume if would be in the Large frame size (ride a 58cm road bike and I am at the upper limit of that size geometry). I have been road cycling for years but looking into getting a FSR 29er. Is it possible to find a decent bike for like $2,000? I have noticed that clipless pedals arent as prevalent as they are on road bikes. Is it just a personal preference for 29ers to have clipless setups?

    check pink bike. Lots of bikes up right now. Clip less or flats are just personal preference. I notice about 50/50 at the trails between the two.

    I tried clips on my 29er but I could never get it perfectly set and long rides would cause knee pain in my left knee for some reason. I kinda like being clipped in, but on some of the more technical trails, I think flats were just fine too. I think you can get a great bike for 2k used. They depreciate FAST and yet are still in good shape.

    Anyone have recommendations for a plain long sleeve jersey? I been wearing just the dry fit style shirts, but want some thorn with more air flow like the bike jerseys but don’t care for all those wild colors and graphics.

    Troy Lee Designs ironically has some really muted jerseys to offset their other clownish getups. Fasthouse as well.

    Contacted YT bikes, turns out they’re all out of stock for the rest of the year.
    Said they’re going to rollout the new 2021 versions in January.
    Looks like it’s going to be a couple months for me unless someone wants to sell me their Jeffsy or Capra :thumbsup:

    Speaking of TLD, I got an email from them this morning about a limited run of helmets. Two downhill and the A2. They are only producing 200 of each color. https://troyleedesigns.com/pages/born-from-paint

    :anonymous:Couldn’t help myself, like I said, I’m a sucker for marketing.
