Schwalbe Romy Tire Review: Impressive Comfort Without Sacrificing Speed
@mikekazimer: What would your trail bike Seattle/B'ham setup be for winter? Mary radial ultrasoft in front, Romy radial soft in back? Or does the Tacky Chan radial fill one of those roles?

5Dev Launches "Shredville" Cockpit, Bridging Drop and Flat Bars to Skirt New Leadville Ruling
These make me think of the D.A.R.E program we were subjected to as kids in the US. Just say NO!

Fox's Clever Analysis Tool Expedites Suspension Setup
@Petemoss: If you're 10psi below recommended could you be sitting too low in your travel, which is what is causing the harshness? Suspension is difficult because there are so many intertwined vairables and orders of operation. One minute I feel I'm FINALLY on top of it only to rethink everything I believe on the next ride.

Fox's Clever Analysis Tool Expedites Suspension Setup
ShockWiz was great Gen1 technology in what, 2017? When SRAM aquired it I was hoping they'd invest in it. It was so close to hitting the sweet spot. Unfortunately, 8-10 years on, that hasn't happened. There is still a hole in the market for something small and relatively simple to use.
Some of us would love to look at the graphs because we're nerds, but really, I wouldn't know what to do with shaft speed data. I can see how that would lead you to chasing your own tail. Actionable suggestions would be more helpful.

Transition Sentinel V3 Small, GX Transmission carbon
$4200 USDOnly ridden about 3 months, too small for me (I'm 5'7"). Like new. Custom build--I speced it to be enjoyable on the climbs too. GX AXS, carbon Roval wheels that have never been seen dirt, TRP EVO Pro brakes, Zeb ultimate has been ridden about 6 months, just serviced with SKF seals. Chain has been hot waxed. PNW 170 dropper.
The closest build from Transition would be the XT build and that's $8k!
Shipping will run close to $200.
PNW folks:I'm in Ellensburg. I'll meet you in Leavenworth, Wenatchee, Issaquah, Bellevue, Yakima, etc. If you are serious about buying it, can wait a few days, and my schedule allows, I can meet you in Hood River or Bellingham too. I'll turn it into a riding trip for myself.
