I'd rather have Walmart pay wages that I didn't have to subsidize while they are wildly profitable than build trails.

I feel like were not an equal representation of mountain bikers here at PB. I'm going to assume were the more engaged rider with more experience than most MTB'ers so our collective opinion shouldn't be taken as a whole representation of riders... But yeah blue trails are just turning into machine built flow trails. They lose their luster super quick if they aren't built with progression and optional lines. I understand they draw the most riders and offer progression for tons of people, but I'm just tired of them. It also adds to my saltiness. That being said- whenever I travel the first thing I look for is the most popular blue trail that's NOT machine built to feel out the trail network. "Blue" has a huge span of trail context. The blue trails at my local (RIP Whiteface) park have absolutely zero resemblance to a blue trail just down the road.

Does anyone else feel like cycling shouldn't be adding to the e-waste production and recycling problem?

As an American- I am WOUNDED. The Hip is amazing. If you don't enjoy them, you're uncultured swine.

This just scratched my NWD/Kranked itch I've been hunting for ... for like 15 years. holy. crap.

@SATN-XC: I'm pretty sure more than half of existing droppers are offset.

@Jacquers: they already do

@tbubier: sounds like he got a dose of karma ordering online afterwards lol

@barp: You use the heating element on a dedicated forming/heating saddle, then transfer the "seat pan" over to dedicated rails.
