    2025 Gravity Season (races, freeride events, etc.)

    Wow... what a season... and what a way to end! For better or worse, I was able to watch the last 10 riders or so of men's elite. Definitely worth a watch if you can avoid spoilers and find a replay.

    What beer are you drinking RIGHT NOW?

    Innis and Gunn is one brewery that will make me break my "drink no beer I can see through" rule. Amazingly, the lime and grapefruit combine into an interesting fruit flavor that is there but isn't overwhelming. Subtle tequila at the end. Overall, a nice change from what I usually drink.

    Happy Friday! Poured with a lot of head... but eventually went down. So good...

    2025 NFL Discussion Thread

    Dart too... he played really well and hard last night, but continuing to take those kind of chances will eventually bite him. The Giants definitely played better than the Eagles on both sides of the ball. Well deserved win.

    Weird bikes, bike innovation and bike contraptions

    Looks interesting. While I personally haven't felt any difference with oval rings, I'm not opposed to trying this idea.

    I've seen that rack idea before. I'd recommend a tie or two between the uprights to keep them together as the wood dries out and twists a bit. PT wood will still move a bit as it dries. Especially outside.

    The removal of under $800 exemption along with the resulting administrative costs on shippers is probably going to put a hurting on a lot of the online retailers we've gotten used to buying from. This is an instance where buying from a US distributor may cost a bit less. The tariffs will still...

    The tariffs can definitely give you pause... I was set to order some Roost titanium riser bars... since the Enve M6 bars on my Spot are now over 5 years old and have had more than a few crashes on them... and Roost was offering a 10% off "first order" discount... and then on top of $20 shipping...

    What have you done to your bike today?

    What are the insertion limits? I have a 31.6mm Manitou 150mm dropper that may work. Is it set up for internal routing?

    What have you done to your bike today?

    I still need to install Saints on the Heckler... when I get back from vacation... just finished up giving the neglected Spot a light cleaning, new pads and a very long overdue brake bleed. And new tires installed. Now the Heckler is in the stand to clean off the remains of WV that I...

    What beer are you drinking RIGHT NOW?

    Another impulse buy, having been to Riverside Creamery in Port Jervis numerous times. Labeled as an imperial stout and generally tastes like one, but surprisingly the vanilla, chocolate and cinnamon flavors are very subdued. Not necessarily bad, but just not what I was expecting given the name.

    Tariffs...what to make of them.

    Fake news. He's not orange enough.

    Fingers crossed it arrives before I leave for Bentonville and (hopefully) a stop at Kanuga on the way home.

    Onewheels on MTB trails?

    Personal experience - none, and I doubt I ever will. I have seen a couple of guys on Onewheels at Nockamixon. While not the most technical trails out there, I can imagine some sections could be interesting on a onewheel.

    Send in to GCN's "Hacks and Bodges" That might be an application of zip-ties they haven't seen before. :p

    7.5% ABV Impulse buy waiting in line to check out. This type of beer can be tricky, but this brewery nailed it. The flavors are there but none are overwhelming. Not super sweet like these often are. Nice barrel aged notes at the end.

    I think some are more sensitive to fork flex than others. I run a Cane Creek Helm (35mm stanchions) on my Megatower and I've never felt it get deflected off a chosen line. I sometimes feel the ZEB on my Heckler is too much fork for me.

    BYOB restaurants are the best for beer snobs. :p

    Anyone going to the Lake Placid world cup?

    Well hot damn... that was an exciting race. Tiz was a fail, but someone on Pinkbike posted a stream that worked for the rest of the Men's race. Only a small surprise in the Women's... But a bit of a surprise podium for the Men's. I doubt anyone had that on their bingo card (or PB fantasy...
