Bike Check: La Marche Singlespeed MTB
@jesse-effing-edwards: Exactly my point. Similarly, I've got a steel hardtail-coil-forked n+1 novelty.
Everybody has a limit where novelty/fun factor intersects with budget/guilt/practicality. Someone with more calculus background could work out a new version of:
#bikes = x(n + 1), where as x reaches infinity, it intersects with budget/guilt/practicality...
...where that line is reached is individual, I was just making the point that for some your Chromag is a similar step too far.

@jesse-effing-edwards:
I'm totally with you, but some dude with a quiver-of-one carbon 140-160 FS enduro/trail bike is looking at your Chromag steel hard tail with the same "yeah, but why bother" attitude.
It's a spectrum Jessie. ;)

Vintage MTB Gold from the Malverns Classic Retro Show & Shine
Totally agree. Bought a girlfriend a Fire Mountain, wanted to repossess.
But what's up with the Manitou forks? Based on the graphics, shouldn't all of those had Marzocchi Z2 or Z3 bombers by then?

It certainly didn't look like any GT's I remember and yeah... a lot like a Rocky Element (pretty ahead of its time compared to a lot of suspension designs at the time).
Are you saying that Ventana licensed the design to both GT and Rocky? I'm not familiar with that brand, but given what was happening in Vancouver at the time, this would surprise me a bit.

Review: Reserve 30|HD AL vs Race Face Turbine Wheels
I'm with you... engagement matters A LOT to me on my favorite, chunky, almost trials-like trails. Plenty of features require a quick back-peddle reset and nearly all require "pause-pop-it" techniques to get the front wheel from one rock to the next without suspension dive.
But Bro-LanDog is right... for $100 you can upgrade your ratchet... I needed to get it done at the shop though, the Amazon/no-nameChinese removal tools didn't give me enough confidence

Nothing's For Free World Tour Dates Released
Streamed it last weekend with my wife. Thanks GT for that! It was well done and great to see all the North Shore content and tour through Cove bike shop. Brought back some memories.

YT Industries Releases Capra Uncaged 10 CF & AL
Not a fan of that color scheme, but that's a heck of a spec (at least in the more permanent parts you don't replace every year-ish) for $3500

Yep... I have a pair. Took me several poor choices to get there, but love my NF pants.
