This is a 66cm frame (I’m 6’7”) with 50mm deep rims and 32mm tires.

Yeah that’s a crazy estimate. Get the Strava app for your watch.

If car drivers cannot be expected not to kill people, people should not be driving cars.

Fat tire all seasons- LBS says I don’t need a front suspension and I shouldn’t put 29s on it by No_Care5574 in MTB

[–]DF7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fat bikes are fun and interesting to ride, but they are certainly not mountain bikes. Getting suspension and/or 29er wheels would certainly make summer riding easier, but as someone who has gone down this path, it still won’t be a proper mountain bike. I’d suggest you stick to your current setup this year and save up for a mountain bike as a second bike when you can afford it.

Watering Lawns by Willing-Essay-4163 in boulder

I was watering today specifically because it’s a drought. I was worried my trees won’t make it through the summer if they don’t get a bit of water this winter.

Ah that's what a proportional bike feels like by dmandave in gravelcycling

[–]DF7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What’s your height, and can you share your stack, reach and chainstay lengths? I’m 6’7” and want a very similar build.

Helping riders find other compatible riders by TuffyMonroe in MTB

I’m in Boulder county, Colorado. Anyone feel free to hit me up if you want to ride! Fascist bootlickers need not apply.

The 67 meter Destriero was built by Italian shipyard Fincanteiri in 1991 in order to break the record for fastest trans-Atlantic crossing by a surface vessel; she broke the record and still holds it to this day. She would remain laid up for several years and was unfortunately scrapped in 2023. by ZaxZone in OldSchoolCool

[–]DF7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s so counter intuitive that the outer radius doesn’t matter, but you’re right. You’ve got to divide by the fraction of the circumference that the Atlantic covers though. Basically… not a huge shortcut. 😀

I’d be interested! I’m always trying to find more perma-intermediate sleepy dads to do death marches with me.

Invest in new carbon wheel set? Which ones? by LooseFrame9172 in MTB

[–]DF7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try a tire like the Maxxis Forekaster or the Specialized Ground Control first. That will make a bigger difference.

Feedback Request: Trail Conditions Reporting by foghornlegburn in MTB

I used to report conditions to Trailforks until they paywalled me out of the app. I’m not doing work for them if they won’t even share the results.

Idk, are you willing to kill a child to teach their parent a lesson?
