  1. Question number 2: Do you all wash your bikes or no? I don't recall doing that very often on the hard tail. Here in Bend one picks up lots of dust pretty quickly on even the simplest of rides.
  2. hopefully you all don't mind some dumb questions here and there. do you all have any favorite/preferred floor pumps? My bike came set up tubeless, which is a new thing for me. not sure if that matters, but I have seen some of the more expensive pumps mention something about the tubeless thing. my largest concern is the last floor pump I had did poorly with presta valves. seemed to never make a good connection. my old hand pump for the trails does way better in that regard still. so good connection on the presta side would be my biggest desire. edit: eyeballing this one: Lezyne Pressure Over Drive | Jenson USA
  3. ^^^ oh lawlz. man they are bad.
  4. Just now got to check things out. This both is terrible. At least the game is good so far.
  5. dammit i'm in the wrong thread
  6. Nay! Seattle Mariners 2022: Playoff Drought Ends Here! Edit: That's if I see some good signings....
  7. Come on now, fellas. They've admittedly been in a rebuild, which by all rights seems to be going pretty well all things considered. Let me have some hope in the winter.
  8. I don't think I like the FS1 scoreboard.
  9. I laughed. In hopefully good news: Hoping getting as close as they did means Jerry gets to open up the check book and not just do bargain hunting this off season.
  10. Unlike 99% of the board, I'm not anti-Dodgers. If I were forced to pick, though, I'd also go with the Giants.
  11. He might still be drunk from last night, he gets a pass. I know I would be....
  12. Not going to see this one live today. Will check it out later. I'm terrible at picking things, but if I had to I'd predict Astros take it. Hard to ignore the experience.

  15. I take it there will be no alternate statcast type broadcast for this one?
  16. Wish I knew this last night. A-rod is just a beating.
  17. Question for you Strava users. I've been using it in my brief time back b/c the auto pause works pretty great for me. Just wondering if most of you stick with free or paid version of the app? I'm on the trial but no idea if the paid is worth it or not. Part of me thinks it would be just to get rid of the banner thing asking me to try the paid....
  18. I always just answer 6' 5''. But technically, which matters for sizing these things, I am nearly 6' 6''. My last bike was a Fisher hardtail that I bought for about $500 back in the day. Good lord the times have changed. https://bendtrails.org/ Phil's Trail Complex on that site is about a 7 minute car ride from me. "Ticket to Ride" : https://bendtrails.org/trail/ticket-to-ride-north/ Is about a 25 minute bike ride from my door. I'm only doing 'greens' now if I can help it, although I can handle blues with a lot of extra braking. With all the trails practically right next to me, it was way past time to get a bike. Covid just made things very difficult to obtain around here. And honestly even a base level carbon was more than I wanted to spend, but I'm happy with it. October was good timing however, as the weather is perfect. When it start to snow I'll switch to the snowboard.
  19. Thanks. Yeah, getting one in my size was a challenge. Been looking on and off for the past year or so. Forgot how much fun I had with this activity.
  20. Joined this crew two weeks ago. Santa Cruz Tallboy XXL (Carbon R). Been a little over a decade since I've been on an MTB, but all the single track right out my door has been calling for a while. Been difficult to get ahold of something in my size but having fun now. First full suspension bike, so that's nice.
  21. Its all over. Seager tearing up as they pull him for the ovation.
  22. Not looking too good. Stings more with the Nats winning.
  23. Crap. Now down 6-2
  24. OK. Down 4-2 now instead of 4-0. Really need to hold them here.
