Right at the top of a punchy climb, hit a log step awkwardly and rode/fell right into a big poison oak bush. Finished the rest of the ride and showered off within about 90 minutes but it wasn't fast enough. Already getting some hives. I thought the cuts on my leg were from the pedal pins, but they might have been directly from a poison oak vine

My first ever MTB range day. Luckily it was a short ride with a heavy backpack. Also luckily the backpack was much lighter on the way home

Oldie but goody.
I build this over a decade ago and see no reason to drop another $7-8K replacing it. Sending the shocks off to PUSH Industries was one of the best choices I made.  Attached File |

Anyone have the Grifter ? I’m looking for a good hybrid/gravel tire for mostly Road but a little dirt. |

Maxxis is GTG. They're OEM on a huge percentage of bikes. I dabbled with Schwalbe and Teravail tires a bit but ultimately always come back to Maxxis. Not sure about the Grifter. For mostly road the Refuse is a solid performer. I can't attest to off-road ability though. The Rambler has knobs and might be worth a look. |

I finally got some time this evening to take my new to me but old Cannondale caffiene 29er out for a short ride on a nearby rails to trails.
I wanted a USA made cannondale frame so bought one on ebay quite some time ago, and finally got the last bits of assembly done a couple months ago. Need to make some seat adjustments or maybe even a new one. But I hate the hard saddles. Its nice that I have several nice rails to trails within a short drive from home.  Attached File |

Fffffuuuuu Looks like they're going to transition all their production to revved industries and just do thermoplastics. Its a great product that unfortunately didn't take off the way it should have. A high quality made in usa carbon bike for that price? Should have been gang busters. If they do a blow out sale i might pick up another frame. |

The rumors are true.
GG is dead. lots of reports of canceled orders. unfortunately, they're also canceling orders on hardware kits. meaning I can't even buy spare hardware for this bike.  that actually pisses me off. a lot. I found a place called Enduroforkseals.com that has bearing kits, but more importantly the hollow bolts that run from the chain stay to the seat stay are a known weakspot on this bike. they're no longer available. |

Yeah that sucks, that's the drawback to the smaller, "boutique" brands, can't always count on support. I went through that with my Zerode. It's one of the reasons I went Specialized this time around. A shame to lose an American brand that was kinda going for it. Enduroforkseals.com /RWC is legit though at least. I've gotten a few kits from them. They ship quick. |

I'm just trying to decide if I want to jump with a less expensive bike (like Trek's Marlin series) or go all-in for a hardtail and get something in the same category as the Roscoe. I lean toward the latter.

Here is my newish build to replace my older aging Ti bike. Newer geometry with boost and more front travel. Packed as much Ti as I could into this build. It is a much stiffer frame than the older one and is still very compliant and comfortable. Built some carbon wheels to go with it. Next step will be 12s AXS E tap.

I ordered a (I think the last) size 2 GG front triangle from Canfield...
I have a size 3, and per them its the correct size (5'10) but it always seemed a bit... unwieldy, like I really should have gone with the size 2 from the start.. the price for that last front triangle was too good to pass up. I stocked up on the hardware kits also. |

I think these pictures and description of the bike proves my point. What say you? 1997 Jamis Dakar Sport. His original bike and the only one he has ever owned. Mods: WTB Velociraptor tires, new jagwire cables and housings, Rockshox 32 fork out front, Rockshox Monarch RL out back with custom spacers, Chris King headset, Race Face Chester stem, Race Face Handle bars, Race face seat post, Wolf tooth quick realease seat post clamp, Specialized Benn foot pedals, WTB Pure Saddle, ODI clamp on handle bar grips
