    PSA: Remember to insure your bikes

    In 2021 I spent a ton of money on bikes and biking equipment. With rising bike theft in my area, I meant to document all my bike & bike-related stuff and get it insured - meant being the operative word because I procrastinated and never got it done. A couple of weeks ago a devastating wildfire...

    Fatbike build v3

    After a few years hiatus I want to get fat again. I'm looking for a frameset, a wheelset, a spindle for a RF or SRAM crankset and a BB for that and the frameset. I have the rest of the parts. I plan to use this bike in the snow mostly (only?). Hopefully, on fresh snow and touring (as in just...

    Carbon rims profiles - What is better, for what?

    I'm getting a new wheelset done and, looking at different rim brands (and even within a brand), there are several different profiles to pick from. The thing is, I haven't found any info on the manufacturer's site, or elsewhere about the rationale for each design, or what they are good for. Some...

    Help identifying Rock Shox "thing"

    Anyone knows what this is? It looks similar to the Brain rear shock that was on some Specialized bikes years ago. I checked the rear shocks page of Rock Shox and couldn't find anything similar. Asking for a friend. Really :)

    Weird bikes, bike innovation and bike contraptions

    Not sure if there's a thread for weird bikes/ bike innovation. I remember reading about about this bike a while ago. Didn't have gears then; now it has. In general, is interesting to me that bikes are using essentially the same transmission method/technology than when they were invented...

    How to slacken HTA on Niner RKT RDO?

    My 2017 Niner RKT has a HTA of 70*, with a 120mm Fox fork (71* with a 100mm Fox fork). The trails I want to ride now have longer, more rocky/technical descents that what I was riding before and this geometry is not very confidence inspiring, especially after eating it bad enough that I cracked a...

    Which app to rule them all? Garmin Connect vs Strava vs Training Peaks

    If this has been discussed before, please point me to that; I couldn't find it. I'm getting ready to start a training program and want to track how I'm doing. In addition to tracking progress with the workouts, I'd like to track weight, fat %, FTP, LT, and possibly sleep hours. Right now I'm...

    Biking New Years resolutions

    Happy New Year everyone!!! If there's a thread about this I missed it but I'm sure someone will let me know. Any biking resolutions or goals for 2019? I just want to ride more, but for that I need some kind of numeric goal. This year I want to ride at least 3,000 miles (I rode 1,206 mi in...

    Cool camera for biking

    It's missing self-stabilization and a few other improvements (more memory, more battery, bluetooth, etc.) but nothing that can't be done with time & money. I can see how in the future the rear camera feed could be projected on the corner of a some sort of google glass, replacing the little...

    Crazy Land Rover test

    Watch this hybrid Range Rover drive up an insane 45-degree angle staircase Scary just seeing it. In other order of things, I don't think they should lend historic monuments/constructions for this kind of stuff. I'd guess the stairs have to suffer some damage from a big SUV digging and grabbing...

    SOLD

    A few months ago I got a Fenix 5X and gave this to my son but he's not using it. I loved this watch. It's bomb proof, battery lasts a long time and the display is huge. The back-light and customization options for the display are great too. It can be mounted on the handle bars when riding if you...

    What's going on with IMBA?

    I read in other forums that people were not happy by some actions/positions from IMBA (Colorado Front Range area). They said e-bike manufacturers were starting to control their objectives/agenda. Now I see this (below) and it makes me regret I renew the subscription this year... IMBA Testifies...
