    The Toughest Road Climbs in NJ

    In addition to Bear Mtn, all the roads in + around Harriman have lots of great climbing -- you should be able to do 5k ft in 50ish miles just riding around the park. All the roads connecting to Seven Lakes Dr (as well as Seven Lakes itself) are decent climbs in + out of the park -- ride each...

    Anyone have / had T Mobile?

    I've been on TM 5G (pixel 5) since the summer -- been pretty happy with it. Blazing fast in the city and all around metuchen-edison area. Only noticed a few times I did not have a signal but those were not unexpected (ie underground parking, on the subway, late for dinner, etc).

    Chimney Rock Conditions

    We rode just about everything starting at 10 am yesterday and it was pretty messy. Some of the turns were getting soft but rocks were manageable/not slick. Only have an aftermath photo - hands were too cold to get the phone out during the ride.

    Schwalbe NN blowout during install -- twice! Rim, tire or user issue?

    I went with a Specialized Butcher (Grid Trail T9). It went on remarkably easy and mostly seated right around 22-24 psi. I went to 30 and left it, and about 10 min later heard it pop (the good kind). Guess it was just bad luck with these Schwalbes? Haven't heard from them yet on warranty...

    Schwalbe NN blowout during install -- twice! Rim, tire or user issue?

    I did check that as well -- round and true, surprisingly very little wobble. I was just thinking, maybe next time I should try the tube method?

    Schwalbe NN blowout during install -- twice! Rim, tire or user issue?

    I've read some posts of people going 50+ psi with an air compressor -- it might just be PTSD from the blowout, but that now seems really scary. I can't find a psi tolerance for the bonti rims. You'd think "tubeless ready" would come with more installation warnings/info. Thanks all for the...

    Schwalbe NN blowout during install -- twice! Rim, tire or user issue?

    The internets seem to give those rim strips a resounding thumbs up. I'm kind of new to tubeless so don't have anything to compare against (only road tubeless). I was able to get the rear tire installed pretty easily. I'm thinking just bad luck with this particular rim and schwalbes.

    Schwalbe NN blowout during install -- twice! Rim, tire or user issue?

    Hello all -- long-time lurker, first-time poster. Curious to hear some pro opinions on this. The short version is I had two new Schwalbe Nobby Nics blow off the front rim during install -- rim appears OK and I installed several old tires successfully afterward. Rim, tire or user issue? Or...
