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

Caution: My Opinion (so who cares)
Not that I was going to; but this certainly will prevent me from considering Yeti in the future

I lol'd

 

The owners lost little sleep over this and I sure won't either. Its super hip to be PC and it jives with their hipster clientele. I woudn't be too tough on them for it though because it was an easy win for what has become a distraction.

 

Made up statistic:
87% of the 1000 petition signers were not of Native American descent.

 

You know how I know those are Aspen trees?

Eh, as a company they're kinda in between a rock and a hard place. Blame the silly internet petition people.

FWIW, I don't own a yeti, nor can afford one.

 

*100%

 

Whadya get?

I just had this problem... Two things helped.
1. Remove, clean rails and post clamps, light coat of Phil’s, tighten to spec w/torque wrench
2. Say “fukit” and get a new seat

Cancel culture is strong. I’m pretty liberal, but the contest of who can get more offended and raise the biggest stink sucks.
There are some legitimate things that we need to take a look at in our culture. And getting distracted by little shit like this takes the power and legitimacy from the important battles.

Oh, and the maiden voyage on the Evil was a blast.

 

Stayed with a Fox Transfer, just 175mm and Kashima coating to match the fork

 

I’m offended.

 

Cool.

Go join the hurt feelings "tribe" over there >

If it was 31.6 I would have been all over this

 

Wish I had 31.6 since it's so much easier to sell but it is what it is. I'll probably have to blow it out pretty cheap since 30.9 is more rare.

 

They do make dropper spacers. Ran a set on my bronson for years

 

Anyone in need for a Fox 36 Performance fork? Trying to sell my old one now that I have my rootbeer & kashima colored goodness on mine.

 

Details on it?

 

2019MY, about 400 miles on it. I'll get some pics later, but it looks brand new aside from a minor bit of dust. 160mm travel but can be changed with a $40 part to fit your travel needs.

Steerer is cut a 7 3/16"

 

I just wonder if it would fit my stumpy...I’m kinda going ahead and figuring on upgrading it instead of buying a new bike for a long time. So as I can get stuff that would be an upgrade for affordable I’m gonna do it.

 

What size and wheel size is your stumpy?

 

150mm 29er. 15x110 boost. Rockshox 35 Gold RL
