Give it a try.
The full 180K is a leg buster, and that's the route everyone has in mind
when they talk of how hard D2R2 is.
The 100k is not easy, but it's a much more manageable route, and there are
bailout points throughout.
All that aside, D2R2 a great event. Friendly crowd, lot o' of
Spend money on good brakes, and save money elsewhere. Better stoppers make

I am impressed with the CX70 canti's.
My favorite part of these are the nicely made pivots which eliminate play

pads with a little toe-in. Setting these up is relatively straight forward
as canti brakes go. I bent the

IMO the CR720 brakes are pretty bad in almost every way except price,
and you could very likely spend a lot of time optimizing their
mediocre potential.
I recommend the Shimano CX70 cantis as an excellent no-fuss
replacement.

How about a SRAM Apex group with Shimano CX70 cantis? White hubs are

The philosophy is about keeping bicycles fun and practical, not
categorically rejecting certain equipment. If clipless pedals are
functional and enjoyable then you are on the right track. No heresy

Rivendell does orange better than any other I've seen, no question.

Full-suspension can be amazing, especially the way they make them
these days, but it can be a bit overkill for 9 out of 10 of mountain
bikers. I recently got a rigid mountain bike (Salsa Ala Carte) with
super fat knobbies, and it's perfect. Simple, fun, and challenging in

Yep, keep the XO-1. It's darn cool and fun fun fun. There aren't a
lot of Holy Smokes bikes out there. Sell the XO-2, save some more
nickels and buy that Hilborne if you still can't shake the urge.
If you decide to do something crazy, let me know because I really like
orange bikes.

Excellent question! (you mean Roadeo vs Ebisu Road, right?
There seems to be very little feedback out there on the Ebisu Road.
Most of what I found is related to the Ebisu All-Purpose. I'd love to

That said, what I have read says that Jitensha bui
It baffles me that compact double cranksets usually come as 50/36 or
maybe 48/34; maybe this is a limitation of typical 110BCD bolt

turn, and 36 is not low enough for my taste. For those, like myself,
