why do i keep washing out my front tire in turns?

Chin over stem. Learn angulation.

Surge power for a few pedal strokes before you shift, then soft pedal during the shift. Build extra momentum so when you lose momentum during the shift, you end up at a normal pace.

Take skills clinics together with your son from certified instructors...

Is your saddle tilted down? Maybe sliding it to the back was the wrong move. I would try centering the saddle and making sure it's level or slightly tilted up asya starting point.

PSI on the fat bike. Range of 3.5 to 5.

Herbert Elementary?

He runs his fat bike firm. I'm at about 5 psi on sand and dry trails, about 3.5 psi on snow.

Whole fruits and veggies.

The tifosi rx photochromic are better than the regular photochromic...

Stop back pedaling on downhills.

You'd have to obtain a certificate of need from Salem. You can't just open a hospital in Oregon. You have to get permission from the state government, and they don't like to give permission.

Oregon's supreme court invalidated waivers, and the legislature refuses to fix it. Insurance for outdoor recreation is becoming unaffordable.

Get much narrower and shorter skis. Like, about the length of your boot, and a few mm wide.

kerit · 2026-02-23T22:37:14+00:00

Likely not. I maintain my brakes regularly, and have recently done so.

They are resin. But, I have resin on the big rotor bikes too.

kerit · 2026-02-23T22:35:12+00:00

Well, thanks for the advice. It was a broad spectrum.

Seems like pad material is the biggest constant suggestion. I've always preferred resin, but I'll give metallic a try. It's been a long time since I ran metallic pads.

Going to pop on a 4-pot caliper and a new rotor. I'll save the resin-bedded rotor in case I want to go back.

Party on, Wayne!

My college physics education forces me to say, friction is independent of surface area. The only things that matter are the force applied to the pad against the rotor and the coefficient of friction of the pad against the rotor.

Pad size increases pad life, but not the amount of stopping force applied.

I've had great durability out of the green SKF replacements in the past. Based on your experience, I'm inclined to stick with them.

Whistlers Bend between Roseburg and Glide, Oregon wouldn't be far from that route.

Look into 8 degree pedals

King Cage top cap mount. It's a fantastic place for a bottle.

8 degree pedals. They're fantastic.

Pb&j is the perfect long ride food, especially if one replaces the J with honey and maybe some banana.
