    Mountain, Cross and Shuffleboard Nats

    Definitely different types of Magnesium. Some like Magnesium are not readily absorbed. There's a couple well recommended ones and I can't tell you why but I went with Magnesium Citrate as being the best. A lifetime supply for 10 people is like $25 on Amazon. Just a small amount here & there...

    The Good Deals Thread

    Status frames for $419. It's like buying a rear shock and a frame comes with it. Stumpjumper Evo for $1k https://www.fanatikbike.com/collections/mountain-bike-frames?tab=products&sort_by=price&sort_order=asc&page=1 If the Status shock fit my bike I'd probably buy one.

    Mountain, Cross and Shuffleboard Nats

    @pixychick Do you do any supplementation at night before sleep? Do you mix up the types of Magnesium? Have you had anything else checked like Potassium? I'm assuming that if you can't get enough during you're ride you're trying to get it in while not riding.

    Goes well with all the 27.5" Forks everyone is giving away. Great deal, not what I need whatsoever.

    Bike hacks

    Data point of one: My wife's bike with a Fox Seatpost that never breaks and never creaks has a wolftooth collar. Maybe I need to buy a wolftooth collar for her bike that creaks...

    Bike hacks

    My wife's seatpost develops a creak constantly. Taking it out, cleaning it and putting it back in helps for awhile but returns after a month. We oddly enough both have the same frame and same dropper. Currently trying fiber paste but I'm pretty sure I've tried it before. Cranking down on the...

    Bike hacks

    If the thicknesses were right, I thought it may work similar to the dual layer type of seatpost clamp. Where the bottom clamps onto the seat tube, top clamps onto just the seatpost.

    Bike hacks

    Are you saying the tape is above the seat tube but still within the clamp? Doesn't go inside the seat tube to provide extra thickness, but more like a secondary clamp above the seat tube?

    Do we have any more independent record stores?

    “Pro’s” tech

    It's out. You can buy a GMA T.50 for the road with that technology. A little pricey.

    Things that make you smile :)

    Post ride pizza from the new place that opened off the bike path. Nice way to end the ride eating a slice outside on a perfect weather day.

    24' aluminum pick scaffolding

    I use craigslist. I think the average age of the users are much higher and tend to be more likely to not be a PITA. Definitely less people than Facebook though. Plus it's a million times easier to use, Facebook has the worst interface.

    Things that make you frown :(

    2025 I was told it will be cool and dry.

    Losing a summer and tossing out a fall.

    Self transport. We had some borrowed Acura SUV that had one of those 3rd rows that is basically for grandkid child seats. I sat back there for the 20 minute drive to Asheville in the fetal position thinking there's no way I'd be able to run if I road back there the whole day. It then dawned...

    Losing a summer and tossing out a fall.

    Foreshadowing? Turns out this race killed me. I'm still struggling with stairs. Out of the house at 5am. At 7am we were in Asheville for the start of our team's race. Was mid-40s and very windy. I was shivering waiting the 5-10 minutes for our first racer to go out with the mass start...

    Cutting the cord (this again!)

    My current cable company doesn't charge for the modem. I completely thought there was some scam going on with them saying it was free but it turns out there really is no monthly fee. Very surprised. With Cablevision/Optimum buying my own paid for itself pretty quickly.

    Should Trek / LBS get into the rental business ?

    100% rent an ebike for Bootleg. It's basically a downhill park. Pay for the insurance.

    Should Trek / LBS get into the rental business ?

    I would say people care. Most people flying into Moab don't want a short travel junk bike. People generally want a nicer bike than what they normally ride. There's dozens of you significant majority. Dozens! Seriously though, do you see a lot of riders out in the winter compared to the...

    Should Trek / LBS get into the rental business ?

    It's because you're in Summit. How many people are renting a bike to go ride Watchung? I don't think these are issues in Moab/Sedona/Etc where it's a similar type of bike being rented and the riding season is all year. I can't imagine anyone renting a bike outside of wanting to demo before...

    Cutting the cord (this again!)

    If you only have Optimum, have you tried T-Mobile home internet? I tested it out at my house, worked relatively well for a month or two.
