    How the hell are we supposed to retire?

    Yeah the conversion may be something you want to do towards the end of the year. The best thing is you get an awesome paying job and you don't convert, 2nd best is you don't convert as much to stay in the lower tax bracket.

    NNJ for Noobs

    Definitely try to hit up bike parks. None of the public NNJ parks are really steep or fast. If you're bringing your bike out to Whistler you'll want to make sure it's settled as far as brakes/suspension. You don't want to get out there and find out you are cooking your brakes or struggling...

    How the hell are we supposed to retire?

    I'm not a tax expert but that seems to be the case. If you're out of work in a low tax bracket to do the conversion then. Even better if the market is down and you benefit from transferring while the value is down. Big concern is being out of work, doing the conversion and then getting a...

    Old pickups were sized properly.

    What about those of us who want to spend our Roth and don't want someone else getting their grubby hands on it?

    For Sale Manitou Suspension on Sale

    Selling it cheap, comes with a wheel since the wheel has torque caps. Pickup only. :)

    Sleep?!?! How do you do it?

    I recommend the movie "Insomnia" staring Robin Williams and Al Pacino for more detailed info on aluminum foil on windows. Shitty window coverings are a common complaint I have in hotels and airBnBs.

    For Sale Manitou Suspension on Sale

    They had the Mezzer Pro for $500 two weeks ago and in stock. Joy passed on it... My Mezzer is so great I bought an R8 on this sale to replace my SID on my XC bike. Since my front wheel wouldn't work with the torque caps I got some well priced wheels... The extra 15% makes a good difference...

    Things that make you smile :)

    People are often better than we think. I lost my wallet once and it was returned with nothing missing. I found one and had the hardest time hunting down the guy but got it back to him without anything missing.

    The Good Deals Thread

    Thanks, saw that elsewhere and did in fact use it. Wish they had an XC front wheel to match as my current wheel is torque caps.

    I think this sale finalized my debate of R8 vs 34SL.

    Not 1, not 2, but THREE new XC Bikes released

    I meant purely from a riding/geometry position. I wouldn't buy one for the reasons you mentioned. No way would I ever do headset routing.

    Not 1, not 2, but THREE new XC Bikes released

    The Scott just seems to go for the hidden shock for looks not really performance. These bikes all look the same because it seems like the industry figured out a flex stay is the best for XC with 100-120mm travel. Since that's been mostly adopted across the board It'll be interesting if...

    They are trucks for people who realize they don't need to buy a truck capable of towing the boat they don't own yet.

    Post a picture of your next bike part or mtb gear on order!

    I ride long & steep stuff on a lot of my rides so end up needing more power than I did on NJ trails. My G2 brakes for instance were mostly OK in NJ but once out on steep/fast trails is where I found the power lacking. For XC riding the more power is beneficial to late brake before a sharp turn.

    I still find the G2 to be the most disappointing brakes. OK until you really need them. I wish I had just bought codes or Shimano 4 piston.

    So did you try to honk at her and get her attention to her phone on the roof since you were behind her at a light? Or just watched her lose her phone?

    What have you done to your car today?

    @Red Mosquito Before going crazy if the carpet is really dirty, look into how much a replacement carpet is. I bought one once for a mid-60's car and it wasn't that expensive and molded to fit properly. Your hatch struts make me laugh because I bought a 1990 Mustang years ago and it came with...
