All the same brakes so a single bleed kit, fluid type, and brake pads would be pretty awesome. Instead, I've got hope, SRAM, Shimano, Magura, and a bike with Hope on the rear and Shimano on the front. Uhg.

Inventory control with a family of four and multiple bikes is actually a thing. A thing that I'm failing at.

In a perfect world, i'd have my family standardized on hubs and wheelsize, but I don't even have that right now.

I got the first hole big enough that all my sealant leaked out instantly and bacon strips couldn't fix it and tested the "ride-out" capability of cush core the other day. It was about 5 miles of rolling terrain, and while not awesome, was much better than carrying my bike. Definitely not superior to a tube, but coincidentally, my mini pump decided not to work so a tube wouldn't have helped!

Andrew Major prefers to expound upon the cult of starling and inferior braking charateristics, rather than uttering the plebian, "brake jack".

My main reason for using inserts is that since I installed cushcore in my rear wheel, I haven't detroyed a rear rim in 3 years! Pretty amazing change for me, and way more important than any changes in ride quality, although I do like riding at 23-24 psi instead of 28 psi. So, can you get a 210 lb hack to huck to flat into some rocks, or case a jump or two? That's the info I need from an insert review. :-)

That tool looks a lot like a Druid. Not to say it's not hot.

Seems like a tricky install on the trail, have you ever done it?

I think that's partly an issue with the NA pricing, they are actually pretty equivalent to Fox in Europe. Butter Suspension does sell/service them in Seattle.

My 7mesh waterproof shorts did not retain their waterproofness very long. Soggy butts resumed.

My used frame came with an EXT coil shock. It's been pretty bomb-proof. This is pretty early days for the air version.

Seattle, u-district neighborhood.

Hi - Keep your eyes out for a gray XL taniwha, thanks!
