Unless I am riding park or shuttling I only wear knee pads these days. I can't imagine wearing full armour for everyday rides or are you just talking knees or legs and elbow/arms?

me your dad posted:Does anyone know where to find a replacement cap for a Camelbak reservoir (Crux 3L)? Camelbak sells replacement caps, but it seems only for bottles. I don't want to spend money on a whole new reservoir unless needed. Like the mouth piece? https://www.camelbak.com/en/accessories/bite-valves

compressioncut posted:Been riding Tzouhalem a bit lately. Nice network and not too terribly blown out. Nice, I have always struggled to find a good loop there although I have one that is ok now, still don't ride there that often but thinking about going in the next few weeks.

VelociBacon posted:I'm surprised to hear people recommending winter tires. I've never even heard of that but I guess I live somewhere temperate. I think it is more about a softer compound unless you are talking about a mud tire which kind of suck on anything other than mud. That said I have never heard them refereed to as winter tires.

VelociBacon posted:I was down with that until I saw this That seems like a brutal course but maybe I am just lazy, not sure I would ever really think about doing 100+ km in a single ride. mexecan posted:Elevation: it’s a struggle to be sure. I’m going to focus on doing some sort of structured training this time. Road/gravel is great for baseline fitness but that only takes you so far, as I discovered. The island has lots of great riding and seems to only be getting better, not sure where you are located but if you are looking for recommendations feel free to ask.

n8r posted:Your feedback meshes pretty well with the few reviews I found. I’m not real excited for the fact that it’s the same frame as the next bike up (slayer?). I’m also thinking about resale down the road. Bike of the year well known Stumpjumper vs. more niche with stupid name. The current optic is only on it's 2nd model year I think. I got the first year of the new sight last year which is a very similar bike and love it. I have some friends with optics and they also like them. Only thing I have had issues with is getting the rear shock setup to my liking, I wish the suspension was more progressive.

stratdax posted:Beauty thanks. I think that's where my thoughts lie. I think he brain-farted off a rock roll and landed hard on his arm/side, but still kind of has me freaked a bit. I'll pick up a pressure suit just to have and wear on days I'm feeling spicier but it's unlikely I'll wear it every day. I have a 2020 sight and love it, would be curious about trying the new Range but I find for my riding the 160mm is a good for most riding. It seems like most places have no demo fleets due to the crazy shortages which kind of sucks.

stratdax posted:Trip report from renting the Norco sight:. Norco says I'm an extra large, so okay, that's what I went with. I'm not entirely convinced but the guys at norco were pretty drat sure. The wheelbase is 130mm more than my current bike and man I felt it. Plus the 29ers with a much slacker head tube angle, it was so different I don't even know what to think of it or if I liked it or not. I demoed a carbon sight and ended up getting the A1 as I felt like the better components was more valuable that the carbon I think there is a small weight penalty, the biggest thing I noticed with the carbon was it was noisier, not that it is a particularly quiet bike as I notice the internal cables rattle around.

VelociBacon posted:They make semi slicks but they're really not good enough for proper mountain biking so you'd really need a very specific use case for it, maybe that's you I don't know. Here's an example: I used a specialized tire similar to that came on my enduro and you know it was better than I expected even in damp pnw conditions. I did eventually switch to a "proper" tire but in dry conditions it was pretty ok since they still have good side knobs. I only had on in the rear and they certainly not as good as a full tread. Honestly I think it will be tough to find a tire that meets both needs, look for something with a harder compound and it will last longer but at the cost of trail performance but that may be fine for your use case.

VelociBacon posted:Awesome! I always bring 2 extra gopro batteries in my pocket when I ride park. Nice to have had the opportunity to see some pros riding, I'm always blown away after I get down something for the first time and a pro comes down after me and just skips an entire section of track by popping up and over half of it. It was Gee that had the big crash. Dan has just been busy building tracks (unless I missed something).

I have been using a USWE bag for the past 2 seasons and love it, I have a 12L one that I think should fit a 3L bladder but I have not tried. I do find it warmer than a "traditional" backpack when it is hot out though.

mexecan posted:Life update. Bought a Forbidden Druid and life is grand. Forbidden had a season end sale which made it an easy decision for me. At first I thought the high pivot design was truly hideous but it's growing on me. Arguably a nicer bike than I need but YOLO and it's a Vancouver Island company so happy to support them. Nice, riding in Cumbreland (where they are from) you see lots of them around. I kind of wish they may a 150mm version instead of having to jump up to the dread naught if you want more travel. Never rode one but they look good.
