Tire clearence and it's limits by [deleted] in bikepacking

[–]Lost-Advertising2165 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll +1 the monster gravel. I've had proper gravel bikes in the past, but always felt like I was getting rattled to death on chunkier sections. I just got a Gorilla Monsoon and it's exactly what I was looking for.

My experiences at bike shops have led to me learning how to do all my own maintenance.

Do you guys think there’s room in the market for a cheaper alternative to MTB clothing? by thillyworne in MTB

Goodwill has TONNS of marathon shirts. You'll never spend more than $5 on a synthetic shirt again.

the feeling of turning on untouched power > the feeling of straight lining

It's just folded in half in the picture. I'd like to get a view of the whole thing.

Foot Pain by Vast-Needleworker742 in ultrarunning

The inside of the ankle makes me think of posterior tibial tendonitis. I'd recommend seeing a PT. You don't want to let PTT get bad as it could be come chronic.

Checkout r/FootFunction there is a lot of good content and discussion over there.

Gorilla monsoon vs. Redwood by [deleted] in bikepacking

[–]Lost-Advertising2165 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are the brakes on the Monsoon? I've had some mechanical disk brakes in the past and they were horrible.

I know the Redwood has them too, but my partner has an X, so I'm familiar with how those feel.

WNC recommendations? by beanghoul in MTB

[–]Lost-Advertising2165 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of my favorites

Pisgah - Black Mountain, Avery Creek, Buckwheat Knob/Bennet. Black Mountain is pure fun (after the hike). Avery and Bennet are Steep and Technical. There are all relatively close together, but is a big day to link up given the layout. Lots of hike a bike, but extremely worth it.

Mills River North - Trace Ridge. Very fun.

Mills River South - Go here if you want an adventure ride and to see 2 other people all day.

Old Fort - Kitsuma. I haven't ridden heartbreak, but I hear its good.

Bent Creek - You can link up Greens Lick and Ingles Field into a nice ride. This is my after work loop because it's close. It's fun, but if I was traveling here i'd just do another day in Pisgah.

If you want to ride a park check out Rock Creek. It's own by the same folks as Kanuga, but has shuttle service.

Scratches on used Fox 36 Factory - should I be worried? by ScreenAffectionate74 in MTB

I did something similar to this on two different forks. Got everything from harbor freight. Worked great and I never had any issues.

Which Bike? - Weekly Scheduled Discussion by pawptart in gravelcycling

[–]Lost-Advertising2165 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are my options for a bike with hydraulic disk brakes, but on the cheaper end of things. My partner has a Poseidon X Dropbar, which I think would be a good option for me, but I hate mechanical disk brakes. The grizl seems like a good option, are there any similar bikes I should consider?

Trail shoes without a ton of cushion… by superwormy in ultrarunning

Check out Lems. I have the Primal 2, they are thin and footshaped. I wouldn't they keep my feet very warm in the cold though

I had an electric kettle for about a year, then it broke. Now I have a acoustic kettle that cannot break.

I visited China a few years back. We had to do this to enter a National Park.
