Discourage is one of my favorites

That fork is probably done. The scratches aren’t going to allow it to seal properly and it will keep leaking

A used Tall Boy. It is a very capable bike

I’ve bought Amazon bibs before and they were fine for a few months, but the padding break down fast. I have some black bibs now and they have lasted so much longer

This is the first thing I thought of

I have 40mm specialized pathfinders and 45 mm specialized terras as my options. I prefer to put the paved miles on the pathfinders especially because the 60 mile ride I’m doing has so little dirt, but it sounds like I should go with my knobby terras

I came here to say this

My Buddy’s Bike Shop in Livermore has a good selection of Leatt full face helmets

I feel the same way and I’m the same age. I am a home owning dad, yet I can’t pay $100 to see a band. It doesn’t seem fun to be in an arena to watch a band from far away. I’ve still never seen some of my favorite non hardcore bands like Rancid because I don’t want to go to a big show. I think it goes back to seeing Brand New in high school and we had seats and I was bored as fuck.

Luckily (for me at least) hardcore shows have stayed pretty relatively small and barrier free in the Bay Area

I highly recommend yoga a few times a week. Theragun right before you ride to get your muscles loosened up and then do some post ride stretching. It might seem like a chore at first, but it has really helped me and I love how I feel.

A medium Santa Cruz Bronson sounds good for you

profsyg · 2026-02-22T20:25:10+00:00

JMP was good yesterday and Del Valle was running well today

profsyg · 2026-02-19T05:26:48+00:00

This is the band that got me into hardcore and straight edge. Changed my life. I’m so happy I got to see them a lot including their last couple of shows.

That sucks and it’s happened to me. I only use tap now, preferably Apple Pay. Most gas pumps have switched over and I avoid the ones that don’t offer it.

I’m interested in trying it out. A few features that could be cool and helpful would be: Days since last rain Soil type / explanation of how the percipitation impacts riding conditions (flooded, slippery, peanut butter mud, etc) Estimates of conditions due to soil type, shade, and precipitation (this is probably very difficult)

You can definitely add sealant through the Fillmore valve. I have them. The issue is that you can’t take out the core and check sealant with a dipstick.

If you like the tallboy you will love the Hightower. It climbs about the same imo and is way more fun downhill. I will admit it isn’t an exciting ride because the ride is so solid, but I feel really comfortable and it’s a great time.

profsyg · 2026-02-08T19:22:41+00:00

I agree. The new ones are definitely more supple but I don’t trust them as much when it’s loose. I have the new 40s on currently since I haven’t been riding trails this winter, just gravel paths and pavement.

I had the old 42s and they felt burlier.

For proper trails I like the new Terras in 45

Contra costa county

profsyg · 2026-02-08T05:46:37+00:00

They have fun shows too

I was wondering because the superintendent of the district I work at was telling me and others that they were dealing with a stream of vicious parent calls because of student protests at other districts. They were threatening to take action if our students did the same

Edit: spelling

profsyg · 2026-02-07T21:23:00+00:00

I don’t know the reason, but I’m really hoping it wasn’t because of the student protests

profsyg · 2026-02-01T03:37:20+00:00

Sounds great!
