    Sub 6 minute mile?

    Been following Steve's thread on running so in January, I ran a mile on a flat asphalt ring at a local park just to see where I was at. Didn't warm up, just ran at whatever pace I could muster, not race pace at all. Ended with just over a ten minute mile. I ran a lot in HS and this last run...

    What color tint for sunglasses?

    I typically wear glasses or clear lenses on the trail and an amber tint for the road when I'm wearing contacts. It's been a while since I've bought new sports related sunglasses and there are now so many tint options. I know some prefer clear everywhere, but for those with tints, what are you...

    2024 Lawn yard thread

    Did I miss someone starting one yet? I'm completely not interested in yardwork this year, but lugged out the spreader to drop the Halts as the forsythia are blooming. Drop your pre-emergents while you can.

    How to jack up an older car and educate me on car repairs

    I never replaced my car from 3 years ago and been gettingby by borrowing a car from others at home. Though I have a weekend car I'd like to use more as a daily driver and to the trails. What are my options? Doesn't seem like a hitch mount is an option.

    Vinyl replacement windows

    Trying to budget for this year. Has anyone recently had vinyl replacements installed? My last house had them done, but that was over 20yrs ago. Thought about doing it on my own, but have a bunch of other projects to keep me busy.

    Trade 150 dropper for 125

    Looking to trade a Thompson Elite internal dropper for a 125 or 150 which is a tad shorter. I have 3 other 150 droppers and the Thompson is about a cm longer than others. If you ride a frame which is large or greater it's probably negligible but my medium frames don't play that way. 31.8 or 30.9

    Minion DHF on rear

    Found a tear in a DHR2 and have read people using DHFs on front and rear. Has anyone done this? Some have said DHFs are faster than a DHR2, but they seem to be more aggressive, thoughts?

    Anyone using RAD to fit their bikes

    Was watching a bike fit vid with Jeff L. And he suggested looking to RAD fitting. But seems the measurements don't agree with changes in modern geo, mostly the longer reaches. Is RAD fitting outdated already?

    Show me your home bike shop

    We've had threads like this through the years and been impressed with some of your setups. But unfortunately my work area in the basement hasn't been inspiring and is usually in shambles. Never built the work bench which seems necessary, right now it's just plywood sitting on some cabinets...
