    Onewheels on MTB trails?

    I see in the OP pic, the footing is more snowboard style with feet front and back. I think ive see both this style and unicyle style with feet on the sides on the trail. Is there a significant difference to the machines other than the footing?

    Onewheels on MTB trails?

    I've encountered onewheel riders a number of times at places like Allaire, Hartshorne, 6 Mile and others that longer stretches of smooth, flowy trails. Sometimes a single rider, sometimes a group, but always seem to be respectful of other riders just like any other courteous trail user and...

    Yes, I am a clydesdale, but the brakes should still be better

    To reiterate what others said, better pads and not only larger diameter 200mm rotors, but also try to find thicker rotors for increased heat dissapation. Stock shimano rotors will be 1.8mm thick but you can get 1.95-2.0mm rotors from Galfer, Magura, Hayes and Sram. You'll need to fully bottom...

    Is strava going from suck to blow?

    It also wasn't that long ago when Strava strongarmed Trailforks and told them they could not longer use Strava ride data when users had linked the two together. Strava again clamed that TF had no right to use Strava data to construct its own ride logging and mapping. Again this was rather ironic...

    Is strava going from suck to blow?

    The irony of this lawsuit when Strava literally built their heat maps upon the backs of every Rider sporting some kind of Garmin device that they opted to auto sync their data to Strava is comical. Way to bite the proverbial hand that feeds you. Garmin should counter sue, disable all data...

    Transition Bikes?

    I rented a Transition on a multi day trip out west, i forget whether it was a smuggler or sentinenal. My first reaction the first couple miles was Oh Shit, this thing bobs harder than your mom for apples and the front center felt longer the hood of an old Jag--this thing is gonna suck pedaling...

    Withhold Release on Giant Bikes and Parts

    Then there was the time Giant contracted Dave Weagle to develop thier suspension kinematic. They paid him to do the initial design, then took the design, f'd him over on remaining contractual payments and called it the Maistro link. DW sued them for years but big G no doubt out spent him on...

    Withhold Release on Giant Bikes and Parts

    Thier MTB offerings are always a generation behind in design and always a bit lackluster. OTOH, Thier road bike division is far more active in the competitive space.

    Need shop recommendation for possible bumper conversion

    As a fellow toyota 6 lug wheeler, i'd recommend Victory 4x4 bumpers. They make a Blitz hybrid style (think more minimalistic, meant to integrate with factory bumper, lights and sensors) for the GX460. It's also 1/4" alum to keep weight down to only 70lbs whereas others will be using steel and...

    School me a bit - Gravity Based Bike

    Don't discount modern enduro/super enduro 170/180mm bikes--they have become very capable with modern long/low/slack geo and burly components and you can still pedal them. Some are even dual crown compatible if you want to experiment My XXL enduro bike has a longer wheelbase than many XL DH bikes...

    Bye Bye Briz?

    According to Wall twp tax data, the entire Brisbane site is 356 acres. The area of that is clearly defined on maps and comprises the trails we all ride on. The portion slated for development is only 155 acres and is said to be only the former facility grounds. Can anyone find a map of that 155...

    Bye Bye Briz?

    The entire Brisbane site encircled by Atlantic, 18th and 195 is 356 acres. The proposition states they would use only 155 acres, likely reusing the prior hospital site since it has road access and utilities. They would likley be bounded by the creek and wetlands east of it and the disc golf...

    Bye Bye Briz?

    Helluva motivator, innit? My avg speeds are always high at briz. I used to ride there in winter after work around 4:30. I'd start with the sun up but midway through i'm flicking on the bar lights and finishing in the dark. Circling the old compound at dusk really lights a fire under your saddle.
