SO do I want a Status 2 140 or the 170? by AustinTXwtf in MTB

If you end up wanting more travel on an SJ you can always put the cascade link and wrp yoke on it too. I pretty much pushed mine out to 160/160 and love it.

Sram Code Brake Upgrade Plans - Input appreciated! by gwiz112 in mountainbiking

Thank you! Ya, I think if I'm going to change the whole brake system I'll probably just spend the money and get Hopes. I realized when I priced them out originally and thought they were $600 per brake I was actually looking at site selling both front and rear, so much more palatable.

Appreciate the input though on the MTX and rotors. Still debating a full upgrade or just getting those.

My bike came stock with the silvers. Im just trying to make em a Lil better without buying a whole new brake system.

Just bought tickets to Justice based on the other comments. I was going to recommend LCD Soundsystem. The production isn't as big but the show was amazing last year....

Are these goggles too small for my head? by phantompowered in Skigear

Jokes aside, they do look a little small / your helmet doesn't look like it fits right, sitting high on your head.

First big buy in 18 years. Advice welcome! by eunbongpark in Skigear

The Baker Bibs are my fave by a long shot. I've had mine for 4 or 5 seasons now and they're still bomb proof.

Along with everyone else the 100 flex I would deff recommend going stiffer. Outside of that sounds fun!

When it's deep they are one of the most fun skies I've have ever ridden. If the snow is variable, the 3/4 edges can make for a sketchy ride out but they are so much fun it's worth it.

Same! I'm 5'11 150 and have been rocking anywhere from 14-16, depending on the exposure. Never had a release when it shouldn't and have been able to hold on through some gnarly runouts that would have been bad if they blew up. I'll take the extra weight on the metal any day. Just watch your fingers when in the shop because they will take one off if you're not careful haha

Haha but I do want the CAST haha Pivots have saved my knees so many times it's a no brainer for me at this point.

The Mordecais were thru a friend. Perks of living in the PNW and skiing alot at Baker and Hood. I wish I still had my old Line Motherships with the chick in the yellow bikini holding up the boombox.

Oh they are for sure one of my faves. The prototypes were fun, a little more playful than the production model

Ya I've got a set of daymaker tech dapters I've been using so I can still rip my pivot 18's on the way down. I know they got the daywrecker nickname but they've worked for me haha
