is it really that bad down there? (ie, trail managers hogtied by the threat of litigation)?

the i-track whackity whack.

i agree. was going to do the same; tech climbing not so good with ramped knobs.

olfa ultramax black boxcutter blades are retardedly sharp, slicing & dicing knobs with little effort. impressive:

for my purposes (almost exclusively north shore) it works. though i've got a granny equipped bike for punchy / extended tech climbing routes as well.

i'm running the zee w/ an 11-36 10 speed (w/ 32 single front) as well. solid wide range, great value setup.

the aftermarket is going to be all over this soon enough (big cassettes as well as ring rip offs [a couple of which are already out there]).

i've been running a thor (2012, 150mm, no travel adjust) for a couple seasons, and it's been solid. light, decently stiff, effective damper & air spring, and reliable. it's a rockshox-esque semi-bath...

^cg is such a stud. amazing comeback after what would have been (for many) a career ending stack. respect!

obviously taking the p1ss. i'm all about the ironic superfluous cutties as well (in environmentally sustainable conditions only, of course). remember bikes are for fun, kids.

^ never thought i'd see the day when i'd swoon over a norco, but yeah.

pretty much. random sundries. as much as i like to support local business, at ~2x the price on parts, it's not something i'm willing to (or can afford to) do out of charity. that said, we tech savy,...

boxxers are no longer polishy; pita to keep that way, so i just give them an occasional quick wet scrub w/ fine steel wool for a kind of burnished satin look. build has been bomber (lucked out w/ a...

yes! it's unkillable. this will be it's 7th year. geometry is still current, so no reason to replace the thing.

haven't tried them yet, but they're all the rage these days, so brewing a zombie dust clone next.
