    AbsoluteBlack Oval Chainring

    AbsoluteBlack DM Sram GXP "Boost" Oval Chainring - 36 Tooth Oval, 3mm "Boost" Offset (Black). I mounted this on my Pivot hardtail and used the bike for a gravel event out west last year. So it does have about 60 or 70 miles on it. Otherwise great condition. The oval ring just isn't my thing...

    Hub bearings, Carbon Bars, Sram Force Brake Caliper, Tire tray. That's it for now

    Not much left. Bars, bearings, tire tray. Thats about it. Bumping for those remaining items though.

    It's here, it's here, it's finally here! (new SRAM AXS drivetrain)

    Do they make it for singlespeeds?

    Road gravel tires

    Ive tried a bunch. Was very happy with Riddlers. Panaracer SK never failed me. SS is also fine... More aggressive tires, I think Pirelli Cinturato Gravel M were my favorites and roll pretty quick imo. I didn't love the Gravel H. I'm going to try the RC's this season.

    WTB: narrow XC/Gravel wheelset (Boost, XDR compatible)

    Hmm, I have a set but I think they might miss the mark on a few things. 148 rear spacing, 100 front. HG driver. I9 Torch hubs (blue/orange) Nox Skyline carbon rims (23 internal, hookless).

    Wheels are now sold. Thread updated to current. Will add a few more things this week.

    XC Mountain Bike Schedule for 2023 (Schedule on 1st Post)

    Maybe I'm confused. How is it no different when they're mandating it to participate in an event? They're not asking for a donation to USAC on the registration page. Donations tend to imply a voluntary gift, usually monetary, to an organization they support or believe in. There's a lot of people...

    XC Mountain Bike Schedule for 2023 (Schedule on 1st Post)

    So instead of that promoter putting their own money where their mouth is and donating to USAC, they make everyone else give money to it, even if they don't agree.... Pretty much sums up my disdain for mandates and people who enforce them. Sorry, but I have to disagree and cannot respect that.

    Is anyone else tracking the whale situation in NJ?

    Another one yesterday. 10 since December. Another dead whale spotted in Far Rockaway, as ‘unusual mortality event’ continues on East Coast

    That's even more discouraging lol. (which is their point, I get it)

    Same. I dont remember exactly how, but somehow I came across SS through Rise Against. Maybe a video or something years ago.

    Bike trip recommendations

    SD has some of my favorite trails. Highly recommend doing Dakota 5-0 if you ever get the chance.
