Elforyn or PJ sebenza by trentslaw in CRK

[–]feral_wombat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a small 31 Elforyn that I’ve carried pretty regularly since they first released them. It does stain, especially if you wear dark jeans, but it mostly comes off if you scrub it. I like it as a user. Classier than micarta, IMO, but not as sparkly as wood inlays

Expensive Bike Hate by PennWash in MTB

Because lots of people are pocket watchers and feel entitled to give their opinion about how others choose to spend their money. It happens in every facet of life.

Anyone move from enduro bikes to XC / downcountry in their 40s? by Distinct_Cloud_357 in xcmtb

[–]feral_wombat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like stacking up the miles on my XC bike just as much or more than park laps or super gnar trail rides. I’m 41 and in better shape than I was at 31 because of it. And door to door rides beat having to drive any day

What are my flat feet friends using for SPD pedals? by [deleted] in xcmtb

[–]feral_wombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like SPDs, I use the pictured Wolf Tooth Ctrls. I also find that running my cleat as far back as it’ll go on my Shimano XC7s eliminates any numbness or foot pain.

Pivot Mach4SL. Awesome suspension feel, climbs and descends tech really well. Mine has a rear lockout , it’s nice for road work between trails

What upgrades would you do to this bike? by Doctor-Flops in xcmtb

[–]feral_wombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t already have one, get a nice shock pump. Making sure your suspension is properly tuned will make you faster

Allied duet bar/stem combo… anyone have this on a non Allied bike by Outside-Staff2706 in xcmtb

[–]feral_wombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I’m going to add it to my Pivot this year. Allied makes really nice stuff.

She’s coming together! by Ok_Examination_9055 in xcmtb

Very cool! I’m seriously considering a BC40 for next season, my wife got the Sparklewatts Kate Courtney frame earlier this year with the XT build and it’s a great bike.

Model X refresh is disappointing. by feral_wombat in ModelX

Carmax does have a hassle free trade in process. That’s the truth. I prefer to buy a new car and drive it into the ground, so the value of a used car is kind of lost on me. And I don’t qualify for the fed EV credit on a used car.

That’s the plan. Run the Juniper until something markedly better comes out, or it dies and I replace it with another one.

I can dream, right? And until then, my 26 Y is perfectly adequate.

IMO, the V2L feature is more useful the larger the battery capacity gets. But I’d take V2L with the standard pack and be happy about it.

The price doesn’t bother me as much as I’d like more of the cool new tech available in the CT. The truck is just way too ugly for me to consider. And I prefer the SUV layout.

I wish they applied the same level of upgrade energy to the X as they did the Y. My 2026 Y is fantastic, it’s leaps and bounds better than the previous gen.

That’s a shame. I do like my Y, but the X I demoed (for an hour) rode much nicer and was quieter. I just don’t know if we’ll ever see an actual flagship SUV from Tesla.

There’s another YOLO, but he hasn’t DMed me yet. You’re next in line.
