It also sometimes gets in you when you crash and have to pick bits of gravel out of your skin e: ^^^ Liquid gravel

Did what we call a "mixed terrain" ride today. Fire road, trail, single track broken pavement, with some road connecting it

oh there was plenty of mud too my dream "gravel" around here is a good soaking day or two of rain and then a good day or two of sun to dry things out a tad, but really it just ends up being kind of a mess

Huh is that 650b being problematic because it’s not lining up the wide part of the tire with the chainstay indent?

been doing more single track and road but got some decent gravel in last weekend Didn't have enough time but seems like a pretty big gravel loop could be put together...but instead I had to descend down on the shoulder of a 60mph road (was fine really, shoulder was huge, wasn't much traffic)

Washed my bike the other day and then woke up to the ground wet this morning from foggy drizzle which was great for the grabble but not so for the clean bike Drive train sounded terrible so I had to rinse the whole thing all over again and saw this guy on a grabble ride a couple of weeks ago

I gravel'd up a mountain today (it's a small mountain, this is a normal thing. Also, not quite to the top of the mountain)

We can make it thread rules if need be. This is the problem with gun chat though. I know several people posting here don’t want it, I don’t want it, everywhere it happens it turns out poorly, so let’s just not do it one way or the other. The thread doesn’t need it and if you (anyone) really want to do it go make a thread for it.

HAIL eSATA-n posted:me-bikes This is loving violence. Tigren posted:Mountain bikes and bikers seem to totally trash trails. I say keep them to specifically designed MTB trails and no where else. Sane places do something like work with local MTB groups to do trail maintenance and fix damage to trails, improve them, make them safer for multi use, etc. MTBs can certainly put a lot of wear on trails but I think most mountain bikers would be happy to help maintain the trails for everyone (whether through manual labor or financially supporting groups that do the work) if it keeps access open for them as well. I'm kinda ambivalent on e-mountain bikes in places other than two things...for one, it sometimes gives access to people who have no business riding those kind of trails/fire roads/etc...like they don't have the bike handling skills, the awareness of how to ride around others safely, etc. Seeing someone shooting up the fire road at you at 20mph while wobbling all over the place is slightly terrifying. And that's kind of my other issue...people who use them to just gun it uphill, which I feel gets kinda dangerous because it's out of the normal boundaries of what people are expecting. It's a real wtf moment when you're coming down something and someone is flying uphill at you at about the same speed as you. Less time to react and figure out how to manage the situation safely.

rex rabidorum vires posted:Hikers and horses trash trails harder than a MTB or gravel bike ever could lol. Eh, horses yes, hikers less than MTBs I think, judging from the trails around me. You can really see the ruts, braking bumps, and other various holes in the trail develop from the mountain bikes. That said the solution is just to work with them to do trail maintenance.

I ran my old gravel bike without a clutch and just wrapped an old tube as chainstay protector. Had a few drops but nothing big New bike has clutch and I like it. Either way works (this is 2x) on both I notice if I forget and leave the clutch off, a lot more rattling and slapping

I'm not gonna be as polite as Bud. With that said. Are you seriously using your mod status to admonish us for a very gentle response to someone posting destination travel group ride pics during a pandemic (not to mention already planning another trip during the pandemic...no, it's not going to be over by March)? Look, a lot of us had plans like that kind of trip that we canceled because of the pandemic. A lot of us have family we have not seen and will not see because of the pandemic. For all I know we have people in here who have friends and family who have died because of this pandemic. 360 THOUSAND people have died in the US from this. Many of us are trying to do our part to keep ourselves and others safe even though it means scaling back or canceling things that are important or exciting to us or big plans we were looking forward to. We're not making travel plans to someplace with zero ICU capacity and massive problems controlling the pandemic. I was not going to make a big post about this but again if I'm going to get admonished by a mod from a completely reasonable response then gently caress it I'm gonna get my word in. Everyone's got their excuses as to why they are the ones that are different and the rules shouldn't apply to them and no really it's fine because you see they're more careful than everyone else and every excuse is garbage as the rest of them. Shame on you for that bullshit response, Safety Dance

Safety Dance posted:I'm sorry for my bad take. I quite literally haven't left my apartment in almost a month. In my mind, there's no amount of scolding that's going to change somebody's mind at this point so we might as well just look at the pictures, but your reactions are equally valid. I appreciate the response. I feel like when someone with a star next to their name, even if they're an IK, posts "guidelines" in a thread or tells people to post a certain way, there is an implied threat behind that as well that includes escalation beyond 6 hour probes, which is why I reacted the way I did. El Laucha's trip looks real cool, it just also makes me uncomfortable and frustrated to see large group rides and such.
