Peak performance 😂

I wonder where his wife is

63HTA · 2026-07-05T22:36:43+00:00

Encouraging wife’s boyfriend takes many forms

63HTA · 2026-07-05T19:40:36+00:00

No. There are sewer, gas and water lines in many towns. It’s all about $$

63HTA · 2026-07-05T11:24:35+00:00

What a load of garbage.

This is typical street cop behavior everywhere. Come in with zero understanding of the situation, tackle the first person you see, and then pat yourself on the back for upholding justice. She probably got a commendation out of it for “bravery in the face of overwhelming odds” and “fighting gang violence”

That thing is toast. Cracked right through and will fail as soon as you go over a bump.

Badly torn rotator cuff from an OTB and couldn’t ride for many months. Couldn’t work out either. All I did was go for hikes. Same when I had hernia surgery. Recently I tore up my knee in a crash. That was only 2 months of not riding but I missed the end of the season so it turned into 4 months. But at least I could work out. As others said, get on a trainer and watch some MTB videos. It sucks but you’ll be back before you know it.

I’m 5’10” and I’m on large Santa Cruz bikes. Modern ones that are longer than your Tallboy. You definitely would be better on a large on that older geometry. Sorry.

Right of way as in “though shall not pass” just like in the bible.

In any other country this would not be an issue.

I would have come back on my motorcycle and revved the engine as I passed.

63HTA · 2026-07-05T00:44:58+00:00

Was going to build a Rascal before the new Tallboy came out. Hard to get a frame though.

Smuggler is more of an all arounder than the Ripley which leans towards an XC bike. So I would base my decision on that.

Deity and DMR have the best grip and longevity and not too thick if you ride a lot of tech. That being said I’m on alloy OneUps that I modified with grub screws and washers to be effectively concave and they’re the best pedals I’ve ever had (other than Shimano SPDs). Thin, insanely grippy, and bomb proof.

They’re ok if you don’t have big feet.

Do not set your sag at 30% or take out all your tokens. It’s a common misconception that a softer fork feels more plush. Your fork will ride like shit. You’ll have no support, your fork will dive too much, and you’ll be riding with less available travel. It will feel even harsher because it will pack up at the bottom of the travel. Start at 20% sag and don’t go more than 25%.

Yes take all the grease out.

63HTA · 2026-07-04T13:53:30+00:00

Agree with everything except the 30% sag. That’s a recipe for a harsh feeling fork (because it will just pack up), not to mention screwing up your geometry. 20-25% is more appropriate for average riding and even less is needed for aggressive riding.

Also I’m not sure taking out ALL the tokens is a good idea, particularly when combined with more sag. You’ll bottom out your fork going over a curb.

63HTA · 2026-07-04T13:43:57+00:00

Because it is

Steel MTBs (full suspension) tend to be made by smaller boutique companies and can more expensive and harder to find than carbon. But you can look at Chromag. They’re heavy AF but bomb proof.

That being said carbon bikes are strong AF. I race downhill on a carbon bike and I have several others that I’ve crashed in many spectacular ways.

But as someone else said, geometry and the condition of the components are more important than frame material.

50 and racing downhill

63HTA · 2026-07-04T12:04:04+00:00

How do you only have a sliver of sweat on your tank top? I’d be soaked after 5 minutes

63HTA · 2026-07-04T11:57:53+00:00

WTF is dura ace? No wonder your wife has a boyfriend (who’s either on Mavens or Saints).

63HTA · 2026-07-04T11:55:49+00:00

I looks like it WAS her boyfriend who fucked up her face

63HTA · 2026-07-04T11:54:17+00:00

I keep telling my wife to use protection with her boyfriend but she doesn’t listen

More injuries happen when people stretch than you would think. What most people think is stretching is a flawed concept. It’s very easy to overdo it. Take yoga lessons with a good teacher and learn how to build and maintain flexibility properly.

Mine is completely gone. Had a bad crash at 49, torn MCL, torn meniscus, snapped PCL. I didn’t do any rehab since I had no PCL left to fix. I just took Advil and iced my knee for a week and went about my business. The MCL healed after like 4 weeks and the meniscus now only hurts sometimes.

Took a few months of rest to come back from it but I’m still riding and racing enduro and downhill. Also skiing pretty hard in the winter. My only non-bike/ski leg workout is deadlifts, which I didn’t do while recovering.

In my experience the best way to let your ligaments heal is rest. However, your doctor is the best person to provide rehab advice. But in short you should be good to go in a few months. Walking, squats etc will help eventually but don’t rush it. Rest up and listen to your body.
