This (ride) sounds so good. Might the singletrack be at night?Sent from my iPhoneOn Jan 18, 2025, at 8:20 PM, Tim Burke wrote:Hey all,Welcome to town all be it a bit early. I’ll be doing unofficial rides Friday night, Saturday afternoon, and for Sunday morning I am one of the organizers of Coffee
My experience only & 50 years of cycling later.., I answer “No” to both questions. Was I ever professionally fitted? Yes. Did it make a difference? No. Does the fit transfer to other bikes? Maybe. I wanted to say “No” but I realize it might for others. When my bikes were all road bikes - then yes.

Mone bikes are so cool. But $3,500.00 & “Klunker” just does not mesh with me? I’ve had folks on the trail refer to my Gus as a Klunker. I’m like “excuse me!”Sent from my iPhoneOn Jan 12, 2025, at 9:02 PM, Doug H. wrote:John,Thank you for the link. I've watched about half of it and it is fascinati
To me the new badge seems more like a sketch of a badge. It has some potential, but needs work. The Gus badge referenced is not a “pretty” badge but does (I think?) accurately reflect the spirit of the bike. I did not like the badge at first but it has grown on me.Sent from my iPhoneOn Jan 13, 2025
Honestly & from my own experience, find a used fatbike. I no longer have one for the reason you site - 15 rides. But, it’s still the best answer. In those conditions the fatbike is so much fun & does no damage to the trail. Just a thought.Sent from my iPhoneOn Jan 17, 2025, at 6:54 AM, Jay wrote:
Sounds like it might be very similar to my Albacore bar - but lighter! 50 sweep, 20’ish rise & 785 wide. Will it have a forward sweep prior to sweeping back? Sounds cool.Sent from my iPhoneOn Feb 8, 2025, at 6:35 PM, P W wrote:These are going to be THE bars.I feel like an instant sell through is
I ALWAYS “step through” my Clem - unless I forget, which I occasionally do.:)Not the Gus though.Sent from my iPhoneOn Mar 20, 2025, at 10:56 AM, Andy Beichler wrote:This is not exactly an important question but I am curious. I bought a Yuba cargo bike last Fall. It has a low top tube to make it
I might be able to help. I got myself a Clem with a 135 FacePlater stem and Bosco bar. I loved it from first pedal stroke & eventually rode it on singletrack. I did not consider it to be my mountain bike as I had an Ibis Mojo 3, but it was capable enough that I wondered if a Gus/Susie could be my M
Bill, what is your calculated/actual final weight on your Charlie? Also, what does “tuned XTR” mean?Thanks!Sent from my iPhoneOn Apr 5, 2025, at 8:39 AM, Bill Lindsay wrote:I've probably disappointed some people because I spent a ton of time talking about my Gallop build and have spent zero time
I am guessing you are asking about meals you cook but I am a big fan of Packit Gourmet. In particular their Texas State Fair Chili on arrival to camp & their West Memphis Grits for early breakfast b4 breaking camp. I take fig bars & a flask of bourbon for around the campfire & a couple of oranges t
It sounds like a perfect bike ride. Why do I always want to ride where other folks ride? I mean, it sounds so good.Sent from my iPhoneOn Apr 19, 2025, at 7:26 PM, Bill Lindsay wrote:Like, is that all the water you had? Are you carrying extra on your person? Lord Charles is minimalist, so it's onl
