    Do all Heart Rate Monitor sensors suck....

    What do you mean "never worked at all"? does not power up? does not connect? not accurate? I've been running several Tikr Fit's over the years without any issue. I use them with a garmin head unit year round and also use one in the basement on the trainer with zwift again without fail. Maybe...

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

    Stoked for this build. Scott worked with me to package together the frame some some essential components. Every other fat bike frame, and i mean *every* as i've scoured them all outside of custom, has either very short or very conservative geo (presumably for snow?) and this is the complete...

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

    Time for a winter fat bike build, not for snow, but for exploring some of the sand trails down here in the pines. The geo on this is mucho progressive.

    Tariffs...what to make of them.

    Did the seller not do DDP shipping to cover the tariffs? Or did you pre pay and get hit with him anyways? I'm about to order some chinertown wheels and they swear there's no added costs with DDP but I'm still skeptical.

    Nassau Trail conditions

    Gonna need a JCPL truck out on the trail to fix this. Accidentally hit this pole head-on with my bike and snapped it Clean at the base. 🤣🤣J/k but the top half of the pole is just dangling by the wires!

    The Indoor Cyclist's support thread

    not sure which submodels, but compatibility with Zwift cog and controls for virtual shifting would be a filter for my choice.

    Tandem.....

    I just realized you can't put a tandem in a typical tray style mtb rack. How would you transport this?

    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.
