    Any Mtn Bikers on RME?

    So cool! I knew there was some side of the bike world where guys are still hand building frames for fun, I've just been too afraid to look for it (fear of another hobby). Thanks for sharing!

    On a different note, I'm looking for a vertical bike carrier for 4 bikes for our new vehicle situation. I already have a single 1Up tray for solo rides. As far as I can tell there are 3 ways to carry bikes like this: Crown of the fork like a North shore: http://www.northshoreracks.com...

    That just confirms that my cornering is I desperate need of some professional help :rofl: next time I see a cornering clinic I'm going to sign up! Completely agree. Just out of curiosity, have you ever ridden a 29 that you consider playful? This was from some random article I read today:

    I rode a demo Transition Sentinel today. I absolutely hated the first 10 minutes on it. I felt like I was sitting on top of the bike. After I got used to the steep seat tube on a 29er it started feeling like a really fast bike. After a 10 mile ride I never really got comfortable on corners. I...

    Total dry spell lately :( I'm missing ideal riding season down here. I've ridden exactly one time this month. Between a broken bike and big life changes, my riding life has suffered. Anyone else felt the lack of riding blues?

    It really is disgusting how nasty shooting areas get. I hate going out to Warner Valley and seeing what looks like a dump on the hillside

    Selling a home myself? Good idea, what to look out for? Advice?

    Does anyone not being represented search the MLS anymore? Seems to me the only reason a private seller would want to be listed on the MLS would be if they wanted to pay a buyer's agent. I have heard that for sale by owner houses are endlessly harassed by agents wanting to represent them...

    LED Headlights

    Heated so they don't freeze? Do they stop working if they get too cold? I need better bulbs in my commuter civic. Normally I'd just buy the whitest $50 bulbs from O'Reilly... Should I try the $30 LEDs on Amazon? Decent reviews...

    That canyon looks awesome, I'd love to throw a leg over it and see if a 170mm can really climb like an xc bike!

    I don't claim to be any sort of expert in the matter... But I have demo'd a handful of shorter travel bikes (120-130mm 650b). And I actually have had the opposite feeling as you described. I like the feeling of being outgunned a little. Being bucked around on a trail when my normal bike soaks it...

    I interviewed for a job with Apple Valley today... It'd be pretty cool to live at the base of gooseberry! Housing prices are crazy for being so remote. Not sure I want to go back to the 9-5 life.
