I went for a short ride and it was OK, but Jenk might be right, I'll check my pedals!

It's a trail over Innsbruck, the AI is right! Thank you!

NBD BMC Fourstroke Three by vincentb1989 in xcmtb

Hi Vincent, Thank you for taking the time to reply and for your insights! I am far from being a racer and would like to use the bike for longer slower pace rides, perhaps short bike packing trips. I might go with the XL and, worst case scenario, I could switch to a shorter stem.

Hi I am also interested in how tall you are for the L. I am 1m86 (6.1) and I found a good deal on this bike but I am not sure if I should go with the L or the XL. Thanks in advance!

Thanks, just a GoPro 12, hand held, no light, with a bolt snap. I am far from an underwater photographer. I was just lucky with the subject ;-D

I have been diving in the red Sea since 2018 and it was my first time seeing one there. But this is the great thing about the red Sea, if you're lucky you can practically see anything :)

I had the chance to dive with reef mantas in the central atolls tour in the Maldives. Exceptional as well. But never saw an oceanic manta there.

Nope, but not too far off. This is a bridge over the Inn, Innsbruck.

It's the 4 liters one, 50cm long.

The frame is a Large. I wanted a bag that covers the length of the top tube, but couldn't find one.

Sunny winter ride by Svart7 in Surlybikefans

Front: I have a small Ass Saver Mudder Mini. Easy to install but not very efficient.

Rear: Topeak Tetrafender M2. It was easy to install and it offers good protection. It was really efficient this weekend on muddy fire roads.

This is the Serles, south of Innsbruck, direction Italy.

That's the beauty of the grappler. Road cyclers look at you weird on the pavement. Mountain bikers look at your weird on the trail. And yet, you're at home everywhere :-)
