Hot Fun in the Lost Sierra - Downieville Classic 2023
@RR1: Backed, I have a buddy who fits that description to a T. Also he's not interested in riding in a way that might get him seriously hurt, so sticks to XC type stuff.

Interview: Talking About Tires With Bontrager, e*thirteen, Michelin, and More
This is all neat info and all but my real question is: Why do tire manufacturer websites almost universally suck when it comes to finding what tires I want?
More specifically: Just let me pick a diameter and filter by width. Quit forcing me into choosing "Mountain" or "city" or "gravel dammit. I'll be the judge of where I want to ride a tire, just show me my options and let me filter them, dammit!

Fox 36 Float Factory 29 160mm Grip boost
$150 USDDAMAGED: DEEP SCRATCH IN STANCHION see pics.
Fox 36 Factory Float 29 160mm Grip boost.
187mm steerer. 44mm offset.
Ok with that out of the way, this is otherwise perfectly functional and doesn't seem to weep oil or anything. I kept it as a backup after mounting and riding it once to ensure function.
I'm sure at some point the damage will wear on the seal enough to matter, but maybe you can nail-polish fix it or drop the travel so it's below the seals or whatever.
Steerer has been threaded for a OneUp top cap/tool.
Want it out of my garage, thanks.
Edit: shipping not included.

GT Zaskar 1996 20" with GT Hadley hubs
$350 USD1996 20" size GT Zaskar. Made in USA.
The frame is straight and true, no dents, cracks, etc.
The wheels have the very sweet Hadley-made in usa GT hubs (laced to Mavic rims -sorry I forget which rim model).
The rest of the parts are a mishmash of whatever the previous owner put on. XT rear derailleur. Mismatched XT shifters. LX brake levers, Deore cranks, Shimano non-series v-brakes. Manitou fork.
Message me if you'd like more detailed description of certain parts or pics.
Willing to separate the wheels from the frameset if you're interested in one or the other only.
Willing to trade for a polished silver hardtail frameset for 26" wheels/vbrake/18"-20" size.

Spotted: Prototype Norco High Pivot DH Bike
Your shock doesn't know whether it's getting hit with fresh dirt vs. hit with dirt that's contained inside a nylon bag, it's still going to cause wear and tear.
Most of those types of things (yes from the 90's LOL, they were available for brakes, headsets, shocks, etc.) just held dirt and grit in, rather than having no cover but letting it get flushed away naturally.

Video: Celebrating Larger Riders in 'All Bodies on Bikes'
Yell yeah! so awesome to see cycling celebrated as fun in this way, without the focus on suffering or going big or whatever. I mean, I like those videos too, but this one here captures why I like to ride bikes best.
