    WTB: Mountain Bike- size M around $500.00

    thank you, appreciate the offer! Yes, send me a few pics if you don't mind. I suspect the family would be very interested especially given the death trap of a bike their son is currently riding. thanks again.

    [sold] Cross is here so buy your little one a new bike (hupcc 44cm cyclocross bike)

    Hupcc Evo cyclocross bike (44cm frame size) I built this bike for my then 9-year-old son in 2021 and he raced it for 2-3 cross seasons. Also ridden on the road and gravel a fair bit. Sadly, he's now 13, a little over 5' tall and this bike is a little too small for him. It was his first 700cc...

    The Guitar Player Thread.

    guitar peeps, I'd love your help. I know nothing about guitars and would like to buy my brother-in-law a gift for his 50th. My niece was able to collect this info: "my dad said he wanted a fender 62 strat with a rosewood neck and the sunburst color" What does this mean and is this guitar...

    Beginner's loop in Bentonville?

    And if you get some time for yourself: Back 40 (and here). This is a big ride. Slaughter Pen (some of these are easy trails closer to downtown Bentonville that you could hit with your family) Hand cut Hollow Blowing Springs

    Beginner's loop in Bentonville?

    I don't have a loop for you but here's what I'd do if I took my son (11) riding in Bentonville. Park here and ride All American. It runs parallel to the razorback greenway and has a number of trails and parks off of it. Just about every grouping of trails or park has a well labeled map...

    Chain Wax Discussion thread

    I use Silca hot melt wax and the wax-based lube on my road bikes and am super happy. Their wax-based lube is now my go-to and I find the little extra daily maintenance is worth a tidy drive train and minimizing wear on expensive AXS components. I was hesitant to use it for mtb and cross...

    Can I run Sram X-Sync 11s narrow wide with SRAM AXS Flat top 12 speed chain?

    somewhat related... I had luck with a KMC 12 speed chain on the following config: sram 12 speed AXS X-sync 1x chain ring, grx 11 speed rear derailleur, sunrace 11 speed cassette. Seems the KMC chain places nicely with both 11 and 12 speed set-ups

    Coffee

    1) don’t take coffee advice from those who measure coffee beans volumetrically. Sorry, not sorry @Norm :) And, yes, I travel with a scale. 2) boiling water is fine for light roasts. See here: I find 85C is good for dark roasts and 95 C is good for medium roasts. I’m using 100C now on some...
