they have a really good decaf if you're still in the market. we've been enjoying their coffee on a subscription basis for a few months now.

Any chance you're a NICA rider? If so, share as people might be more likely to help. Essex Offroad? Also, do you have a price range if no trade is available?

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

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...

further down Bloomfield Ave: Just Jakes (bar) Faubourg (fancy, nice bar) +1 to pineapple express. that would be my first stop.

awesome, super helpful!

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...

@UtahJoe @MadisonDan any recommendation on gearing if someone was foolish enough to run a single speed for this event? I've never ridden here so unfamiliar with terrain and trails. thanks in advance.

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

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...

Apologies for the shoddy photography. Let me know if you want it.

montclair but happy to ship. will post pics shortly. it's an older model with no smart tv functionality...just an fyi.

I have one you’re welcome to. Will post pics to see if it fits the bill. Can ship.

6.78 grams. my typical pour over or clever dripper is 300g H2O/18g coffee or 250g H2O/15g coffee.

@jShort a friend and neighbor of mind may be in contact.
