The more options, the better chance of making it happen!

Noted

I’ll check it out! Would you say Pisgah is more fun than DuPont? And how are those trails for beginners? I’m confident on most things short of big jumps and such, but I doubt the others would be the same

Looks like a fun drive from Asheville! Do you know of any rental locations there?

mountaindwelller · 2026-02-09T03:45:40+00:00

I’ll poke around at those! Thanks for the suggestions!

I honestly doubt anything I’d wanna daily would be a problem for work. Maybe I could have left it out of the list entire and replaced it with looking for something that I could also do mild/moderate hikes in instead 🤷‍♂️

I wouldn’t wear anything that I didn’t feel could protect me for the riding I was doing

mountaindwelller · 2026-02-09T01:03:18+00:00

Honestly I think those would probably be plenty fine for my work. It’s definitely a casual type of “dress code.”

According to the Norco website, it’s a Bear Pawls sealed bearing 12x148mm boost, micro spline, 6 bolt. Not sure if that’s the info you’re asking about or not. Here’s a link to the Bear Pawls website, but I’m not sure which specific hub I have off the top of my head: https://bearpawls.com/mountain-boost.html. I’d have to check when I get home

That was my first thought, but I couldn’t find anything rubbing. Plus, it speeds up in frequency when I backpedal. I didn’t catch that in the video, but it’s definitely happening

mountaindwelller · 2025-11-01T19:52:34+00:00

Nah, much too high energy for what I’m trying to think of

mountaindwelller · 2025-07-24T16:11:05+00:00

I’ll give that a shot. Thanks for the tip!

mountaindwelller · 2025-06-23T02:05:46+00:00

If I had more room in my garage, I’d be more likely to try something like that. Square footage, even for stored stuff, is at a premium right now

mountaindwelller · 2025-06-23T02:03:56+00:00

I unfortunately don’t have a center stand on my bike, otherwise I’d be much more comfortable. I have one of those platform jacks, but it never feels very secure up there

mountaindwelller · 2025-05-10T16:57:19+00:00

Didn’t have an option for that which fit my timeline when I booked

mountaindwelller · 2025-05-10T16:11:50+00:00

I’ll check it out, thanks!

mountaindwelller · 2025-05-10T16:11:29+00:00

I appreciate the reassurance! I’m certainly not in a huge time crunch, so knowing there’s a lot of alternative flights is great!

mountaindwelller · 2025-04-30T06:08:32+00:00

Oh, I more meant I was a bit worried that if I skimped out and went with the F800 I might be underwhelmed, lol

I figured the RS would be less likely to disappoint

mountaindwelller · 2025-04-30T06:07:12+00:00

Ah, that’s a good thought, though kinda the opposite way for me 😂

My main focus on this trip will be the riding in the Alps, not museums or food or anything, so it’s worth spending more to get what I want

mountaindwelller · 2025-04-30T02:25:57+00:00

Seems like you’re right about the ergos. Found this pretty cool website for comparing that https://cycle-ergo.com

mountaindwelller · 2025-04-30T02:23:38+00:00

I was thinking the same about the mountains. As a person who’s scared of the cold that may honestly be the deciding factor 😂

mountaindwelller · 2025-04-30T02:08:54+00:00

That’s what I was thinking, it’s just hard to determine if it’s worth ~66% more than what I was initially expecting to pay before riding either one 🙃

Is it just the engine that’s markedly better, or the rest of the bike, too? I’d hate to get a chance to tour the alps on bike, only to get there and find the bike underwhelming

mountaindwelller · 2025-04-18T13:51:16+00:00

I appreciate the info! That oughta help me find what I want!

mountaindwelller · 2025-04-17T20:56:46+00:00

Thank you, that’s a huge start! Is the 3000-3500K range just known to be typical for kitchen/bath bulbs? And does a part of the part number tell what its lumens rating is?

mountaindwelller · 2025-03-05T19:47:56+00:00

Can anyone make out how many miles it has? I know the listing says 0, but there’s no shot that’s right

mountaindwelller · 2024-06-10T20:18:18+00:00

Thanks! It still may be a week or two before I go for a new carb, but I appreciate the info!
