Review: The Outlier Metronome Self-Leveling Flat Pedal is Superior, & Frustrating
I’ve had a similar experience. I bought them out of curiosity. I typically have to retire pedals due to repeat pin damage that eventually makes them unable to replace. So these were attractive from that perspective. I have 160mm cranks, size 13 Freerider Pros and did reduce my saddle height and bar height (5mm) to accommodate these. I been enamored with the grip the Pendulums provide as I prefer a locked in feel. I do notice an increased number of rock strikes, but this design has eliminated hard rock strikes that hang you up and affect momentum. I have a more midfoot (foot forward) placement and noticed some initial foot fatigue on long descents, but surprisingly it has completely gone away after the first 1-2 rides.

Throwback Thursday: 'Life Cycles' - The Greatest Mountain Bike Movie Ever Made?
I’ve always been partial to Follow Me, having multiple riders in the frame at once somehow multiplied their speed. Plus the whistler bike park scene where everyone was jumping in and out of the shot was a cool effect.

Feb 19, 2025Orbea Rise H - Custom Build Cascade Link
$2900 USDVery well maintained bike, almost fully custom. Comes with additional FloatX shock and 250Wh Extender Battery. Also have a longer stroke Marz Coil with offset bushings to give 160mm travel. The Cascade Link makes this bike ride way better than stock. Extra stiffness, progression and 150mm travel. The Shimano EP RS motor has been flawless, I recently “jailbroke” it to provide full 85Nm power. It's got plenty of miles, but rides better than new. At least a quarter of those miles are commuting.
Hit me up with any questions. Bike rides great.

Feb 15, 2025Trek Precaliber 24”
$180 USDNice versatile little bike here. I purchased this second hand as a spare bike for visiting relatives and ended up giving it to my neighbors kid for a couple years.
I replaced a lot of the cruddy stock (steel) components with aluminum mtb parts and saved a ton of weight (about 3lbs if memory serves). I “customized” the saddle to be appropriate for the bike. The front tire is new as are the cables. The stand over clearance is super low so it’ll work well for pretty small kids. I’m also a fan of the adjustable cranks which I’ve kept in the shorter set up.

Feb 15, 2025Woom Off Air 5 - 24” Mountain Bike
$750 USDFantastic first mountain bike for pre teens (figure 7-11 and 48-58”). My daughter has outgrown this bike (she’s 63” at 11 y/o).
The bike is mostly stock except for the Wolftooth q/r seat binder. I also converted the wheels to tubeless which was a great upgrade. The bike is well taken care of by a bike nerd and I have the alternate stickers, stock black pedals, and grips if the colors don’t work for your child.
If Woom is a new brand to you, here’s a lovely review that will tell you everything you need to know about the bike.

9 Ways to Make Your Mountain Bike Quieter
I love the smooth running silent hub. The trouble is, without the hub ratchet buzz to drown them out, all the other pings and clacks become louder.
