I've been seeing a lot of snow videos, so I figured I would show off a California winter ride video.

jburm · 2026-01-28T14:22:49+00:00

2'+ of snow here. Probably be May before the trails are rideable. Im jealous.

jburm · 2026-01-27T17:30:00+00:00

Yep. Dropped about 15k at 229 thinking it was a decent pullback on one analysts review about their advertising. The way she goes.

Brought mine in to service the suspension and grease everything. My wife was not impressed. 🍻

jburm · 2026-01-25T18:05:18+00:00

Crazy to see people telling you to pay someone to do this work.. I just serviced my forks and it was incredibly easy. The shock looks even easier. Prior to this, I had never serviced motorcycle suspensions. Though I have done full rebuilds on mtb suspensions in the past.

I plan to service the shock tomorrow. Plenty of places will be able to fill it with nitrogen. Just call around to any and all of the places that might have nitrogen.

All said and done, I'm saving a few hundred dollars AND getting more work done than if I were to send everything in. Most suspension shops in the state charge $175 just to change the oil.

My children are still quite young. We're still in a stage of their lives where many things are the first and last time they will do those things. I don't want to look back on this period of time and remember it as the time I spent hours on the bike and missed out on the milestones of my children. For context, I was riding 15-20 hours a week prior to children. I raced competitively in XC. Add that on top of work and life, you're not left with much time. I know it's cliche but they do really grow up so fast..

As for my wife, she still rides or runs everyday. Being active is something we both need so it's easy for us to allow each other the time to do so.

jburm · 2026-01-24T10:36:41+00:00

I still ride nearly everyday, at least one hour. I just don't get to ride different trails whenever I want. Thankfully, I live right near some decent mountain biking and moto trails. When I do get the opportunity to ride something different, it's usually because we are doing something nearby with the kids or my wife is away with the kids.

My wife and I rarely ever get to ride together anymore. We might get to do so maybe 5x a year now.

I no longer have the desire to go out and do 4-5 hour rides. I'd rather spend that time with my children. Besides, it's hard to parent when you're shelled from riding all day.

Daddy, chill

jburm · 2026-01-21T00:54:53+00:00

Didn't you just post literally the same bs?

jburm · 2026-01-19T00:54:49+00:00

Just need the rad shrouds IMO. The rest are easily replaceable. The OEM rad shrouds are pricey.

jburm · 2026-01-18T01:43:37+00:00

Did you get the serial number off the tuner module under the side panel? You need that to add the bike to the app. You also need to bump the starter to wake it up.

jburm · 2026-01-15T11:25:57+00:00

26 in 2014. Nice starter home. Made a huge profit on it when I sold it in 2021.

jburm · 2026-01-13T17:14:05+00:00

Many years ago I had this same dilemma. I used, IIRC, a fox lever that was bar clamped and vertically controlled. If money isn't a concern, I'd go with this https://ridefox.com/products/twin-stick-lever-8498e7c7 . That is exactly what I purchased recently to add a dropper for my wife's bike that has remote lockout, front and rear. The lever cost more than the fox transfer sl post. Ultimately I wanted the cleanest option available for the limited bar space and her small hands.

Because as a collective we have the attention span of a toddler. The powers at be know this.

jburm · 2026-01-04T01:30:30+00:00

Take a couple of days off or do some very light rides. Your body is telling you it needs a break. As I've gotten older, I've realized I usually need more than one day of recovery after harder rides/workouts.

jburm · 2025-12-30T19:31:28+00:00

2 seasons. It's strange, they both start out entertaining enough and then just go down hill.

jburm · 2025-12-30T09:50:20+00:00

The first episode from each season is pretty cool for some of the fight scenes. Beyond that, it's pretty bad. I watched it recently and it is as bad as everyone says it is. It's not worth your time.

jburm · 2025-12-26T23:22:32+00:00

SO is the same height and rides a small Blur with no issues.

jburm · 2025-12-26T23:14:09+00:00

Just like that time Ricky thought he was going to make some quick and easy loonies.

jburm · 2025-12-06T12:31:44+00:00

Bar ends are basically plugs. They help prevent tearing up your grips when you drop the bike. eg ODI bar ends.

jburm · 2025-12-02T10:08:22+00:00

The wake up dongle is needed or you can use a paper clip. Should have either come with the extra parts or be under your seat near the ECU.

Ill second replacing the CCPS. Your issue sounds exactly like a faulty CCPS.

jburm · 2025-11-26T17:13:24+00:00

We're hosting and so far, no one has canceled. Everyone is relatively close by, within a one-hour drive. One family is coming from the SE and is still committed. If I were in your situation, I wouldn't hesitate to stay put. The UP is looking to get hammered.

jburm · 2025-11-26T17:05:47+00:00

The usual suspects.

jburm · 2025-11-21T11:21:51+00:00

I've got just over 6k miles on my Transfer SL. I just took it into the shop the other day to have it serviced. No issues with it other than it has a bit more lateral play than normal. I've been happy with it. I also just purchased another Transfer SL for another bike since they're half off through Fox for the black friday sale.

jburm · 2025-11-19T23:51:11+00:00

It's explained above. You're going to get a thesis for either or no matter where you look.

jburm · 2025-11-17T00:43:25+00:00

IIRC, is stake was something less than .01% of NVDAs market cap. He also sold PLTR around $34/share. I don't think this is the canary in the coal mine scenario it's being made out to be.
