    It's 2025 Is an Emtb in your near future?

    Laughing because I had that EXACT thought last night while trying to go to sleep. 🤣 As mentioned, I tend to ride stuff like that when it's not planned and I'm simply reacting. I swear sometimes my best DH runs down a course were my first runs when I was riding it completely blind. My first...

    It's 2025 Is an Emtb in your near future?

    No. 18" high. It really depends on how I'm feeling on a particular day and how the log is placed on the trail. I generally use speed and suspension rebound to get over obstacles, so if I can't get a good run up then my chances of success are lower. But I've discovered that even as heavy as the...

    It's 2025 Is an Emtb in your near future?

    Gonna have to disagree there - at least a little bit. I've hopped bunny hopped logs with my Heckler and that MF'er is 53 lbs, 14 ozs. (just weighed it with my Park scale). Now I'll admit that is with clipless pedals and the logs haven't been that big (maybe 18" diameter), but I've been able...

    Post a picture of your next bike part or mtb gear on order!

    I have the Fanttik version, which is slightly larger. It's something I should really keep in my car and get in the habit of using it before every ride, but I still forget I have it. The idea of a really small version that could live in the saddle bag of my road bike has some appeal - providing...

    What have you done to your bike today?

    I noticed looking at the geo chart how the numbers are decidedly... "not modern..." which I'm sure appeals to many.

    Any idea what this is?

    Try cutting one in half?

    What have you done to your bike today?

    Lenz? One of these frames? I remember the Lenz DH bike from ~25 years ago, but honestly, I didn't know the company was still around.

    Tell me where you rode today...

    I suppose that was one of the benefits of the 31 Days of July challenge... it gave me a stronger incentive to crawl out of bed at 4AM to get ride in when temps were more reasonable. My riding buddy called me at 7pm yesterday about riding at Nesh, but I was so not ready to ride there was no...

    It's 2025 Is an Emtb in your near future?

    Well... it looks like US distribution of the Amflow PL has started, per an email I just received. Two build kits available. The "base" version with an Eagle 70 Transmission kit for $7499 and the "Pro" version with XO Transmission and other upgrades for $10,199. I don't see any mention of...

    Weird bikes, bike innovation and bike contraptions

    Assuming you've seen this? Almost worth grabbing just for the novelty of it.

    That's really cool. Any idea if a strip of duct tape could do the same?

    Bring a Trailer - OMFG or On Topic

    Yep. The automatic is definitely a deal-killer for me with that car. Personally, I think the regular Charger conversions look better than the Daytona - mainly due to that awkward nose. I'm 99% sure the need to maintain the OEM Challenger headlights limits the options. Also agree with Joe...

    Bring a Trailer - OMFG or On Topic

    The definition of an "BAT OMFG" listing: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/exomod-concepts-2022-dodge-challenger-srt-hellcat-redeye-d69-daytona/ 2020 Challenger with a B-body Charger Daytona carbon fiber re-body. Wow... Bid to $224K as I post this with ~4 hours left and reserve not met...

    The Guitar Player Thread.

    That looks awesome! As an owner of two Explorers, I love me some pointy guitars. The bridge looks like a Kahler - who are still in business and sell replacement parts direct. If you don't want to deal with the tuning issues, they sell a fixed version that should be a direct replacement and...

    What wine are you drinking now?

    My wine tastes are pretty varied. I'm definitely a sucker for a cool label. After work I often go for something fairly low brow. Like an inexpensive Niagara white. The last time I visited Watkins Glen I came home with a case of meades from Earle Estates, but that is long gone. Saw this in the...

    Bring a Trailer - OMFG or On Topic

    That doesn't surprise me a bit. Some years ago I saw a similar eBay listing for a 69 Charger with a $9999 BIN price. It looked even worse than this car - BUT - it had a VIN plate and a matching title. THAT is what you're buying. Everything else can be fixed. I remembered Dynacorn was...

    This was posted to the MTB Philly FB group. Anyone here drop their license at Nox?

    What beer are you drinking RIGHT NOW?

    At Brick Farm Tavern for my belated birthday dinner. This is really good, but very sweet and fairly heavy. I'm betting (hoping) it goes well with a chocolate dessert.
