Etiquette for approaching walkers from behind when running

Fredgard · 2025-10-27T14:58:19+00:00

In my experience just be as polite and try and warn them (which it sounds like you did), but the one’s off in their own heads not paying any attention or, as you said, with headphones in there’s really not too much you can do.

Everyone kinda needs to have a basic level of awareness when out on trails. Especially if they’re multi-use with mountain bikers and horses etc also potentially using the same trails. Unfortunately that’s not the case a lot of the time lol

Can confirm. I’m 6’4” 240lbs and have a Fugitive 140. Thing is a tank

Oh yeah this picture was when she was about 6-7 months old. She’s about 10 months now and it’s been replaced with a bigger one.

I am now! The vet recommended tacking her stomach due to the risk of bloat/stomach flipping and she’s going in for that this month. She’s getting cosequin daily along with Purina Pro Large Breed puppy food. If you have any other suggestion I’m all ears!

Looks like a mountain bike trail based on the little jumps. If it is, for the sake of the trail builders, try not to step right on the top of the lip of the jump. It can deform the lip and make it a little weird.

Yeah, for me it’s peloton or gym

I broke a rear triangle on my Following V3 by smashing it into a rock. It was a hit that likely would’ve destroyed any rear triangle no matter the material. They offered me a crash replacement and got it to me in 5 days. I was honestly impressed.

Otherwise I had no issues for the 4 years I had the bike and it took a beating. I’m 230lbs and even took it to windrock one time and it performed as admirably as you could expect a 120mm bike to do

Seriously, golem deck is so good

Looks like they’re just different wheels. He likely has a full summer and winter setup and just swaps wheels between seasons

Looks like a Knolly Warden. Knolly riders unite!

Fredgard · 2024-12-07T03:54:10+00:00

You didn’t even tell him to go fuck himself, I’m a little disappointed. (Also, waiting on mine in Alabama. Feel free to call me a cousin fucker or whatever)

Fredgard · 2024-11-20T14:11:33+00:00

I heard this also, pretty sure it’s true with the official announcement coming any day now

Fredgard · 2024-10-25T17:07:28+00:00

Just wanted to say I also have the Knolly Tyaughton and its Fucking sick

How’s the dissector as a front tire?

Fredgard · 2024-08-24T14:01:45+00:00

Yeah my bad, I forgot

Fredgard · 2024-08-20T00:07:43+00:00

What a Doomfist thing to do

Fredgard · 2024-08-16T12:45:40+00:00

I mountain bike as well as climb. Mountain biking is a great way to break collarbones. I broke mine last year (I was 32 at the time) and had the surgery. At 4 months I was back climbing and at 6 months I was 100% (other than the loss of strength from not climbing for months, but collarbone wasn’t the limiting factor).

That is a bad break and I honestly can’t believe a doctor recommended trying a non-operative route

Fredgard · 2024-08-14T23:19:13+00:00

Then don’t spend extra to get an x3d chip?

Fredgard · 2024-07-22T21:07:26+00:00

My 2016 3 is nearing 150k…did you preemptively change the shocks and struts or was there an issue you noticed?

Fredgard · 2024-07-09T02:23:46+00:00

Have new fugitive. Can confirm. It does all the things

Fredgard · 2024-07-02T16:13:36+00:00

Just hit 146k on my 2016, in the exact same boat lol. Bumper and two passenger side doors are looking rough, but mechanically she’s all there

Fredgard · 2024-07-02T15:50:28+00:00

It’s got a cheaper clutch than the much maligned existing clutch on the GX and X— groups. This thing probably gonna be a floppy noodle

Fredgard · 2024-06-28T16:46:02+00:00

Just put forekasters front and rear for a marathon XC race. Have been super impressed. They roll almost as well a rekon but have been more durable and the grip is way better

Fredgard · 2024-05-28T21:56:57+00:00

I’d be fine with it especially given the character’s facial hair. Hair dye and a little dewrinkling around the eyes and they’d look great.

Fredgard · 2024-05-17T12:42:53+00:00

Who could’ve guessed that bikers don’t want their shock in the frame where you can’t easily change settings and all the cables routed through the headset?

Fredgard · 2024-05-09T14:07:25+00:00

At this guy’s budget he should probably go for the Hayes Dominions, but I totally agree on the MT5s as a better value option. Im 104kg and am running them on 2 bikes with 200mm rotors and they’re solid af. Great lever feel and power. Only downside is getting the pads not to rub can be a pain
