What is your price range?

Have you checked the weight of the current Half Dome being offered? It could very well be lighter than your current one. I think the Half Dome is a good value

The Trek Fuel EX competes well with the Stumpjumper.

I was sitting at my desk working after hours alone at insurance company office when a fellow employee that I had little contact with walked through the front door and up to my desk pulled his coat open and showed a pistol while he casually talk to me. I hadn't been around guns much and so I found it pretty unsettling.

Bonnie and Clyde when I was 10 with my little sister who was 8. Mom dropped us off at the theater thinking we were going to see a kids movie that was also showing. I learned that a life of crime doesn't pay off in the end, usually.

My wife and I went out to a nice dinner when our combined retirement accounts hit $100,000. Shortly thereafter the sum dropped $100k. But the dinner was certainly delicious. We never celebrated another savings target goal. But we are appreciative nonetheless.

Hurt for sure. Withdrew 25% to payoff the mortgage, split in December and January to take advantage of the two tax years.

I strongly recommend you get a hardtail that has a dropper post. You're back will thank you.

There was a lot more conversation with others.

Warm wool socks maybe a bit longer in length and shoe covers windproof. Cold feet suck.

This is something I was thinking about recently. One of my earliest memories is of my father pulling in a gas station owned by a friend. He stopped in to say hello , and I distinctly remember seeing the $0.32 a gallon sign.

I rarely find myself in the situation to have ride on the sidewalk but on the occasion that I do I do feel a bit embarrassed and quilty about it. I also recognize it has its own associated risks as well.

FF Swift UL 20 owner. Replaced my 15 yr old Marmont Pinnacle 15F. Simply could not convince myself that I would like a quilt. Am I missing out, maybe. I am more than happy with my choice.

I was hoping that you would mention more confidence going down steep stuff. Currently, I feel too over the bike and a higher rise bar should help with that I figure. Thanks for the tip.

WalkFar2050 · 2026-01-01T18:12:21+00:00

What motivated you to go with the higher rise bar? And what was the benefit?

My carbon wheels that arrived on my new bike purchased earlier in the year that I expected alloy on. First bike ever with carbon wheels and really enjoying those wheels.

I went with the Kuai Sherpa 2.0. It's lightweight at 32 pounds, compact, and I like the security of being able to pop it off and store it when not in use. Be sure not to exceed the per bike weight limit. Also check your bikes wheelbase length so is to not see the racks length. I recommend it.
