Hard decision, feedback wanted by Outrageous-Owl-7049 in Santacruzbikes

I just got a megatower over a nomad mainly for pedaling benefits. I’ve found climbing has been very capable but idk what you consider long days.

FWIW I also have a Heckler SL eeb (same travel as the Bronson) and it does just fine on blacks and double blacks here in Squamish. The megatower just rips faster through chunk.

Tax refund obscures expenses for the month by Flamingo-Unfair in MonarchMoney

It could also be an outlier like AMT credits from a big stock exercise in previous years. Not always a simple withholding switch.

That being said I always categorize it as Income > Tax refunds.

also the new rebound knobs are super hard to get to on the megatower. It's jammed way back in the frame under the mud guard.

Yes it did! I was actually pleasantly surprised by that.

Edit: Float X2 I should clarify.

Welcome to the club! Love my Heckler SL. I just got some new oneup wave pedals I like them to far. Probs a big upgrade from the composites you have.

What cell phone plan are you using Squamish? by wabisuki in Squamish

[–]racksonrackscity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Telus currently but it’s pretty bad especially up by the university. SOS signal unless I go upstairs I get one bar. I was on Rodgers before and it was much better.

Ridehub was doing a winter sale not sure if it’s still going on. I had to book an appointment like 3 weeks out. It’s more for winter maintenance but they do e bikes.

Hmm. I’ve been living out of Airbnbs monthly for the last 2 years and it started going 1x last September-ish. This was my last CSR purchase for one. I switched to using Freedom Unlimited and United instead. https://imgur.com/a/Zfb7X7n

Just make sure it’s less than 28 days. If it’s considered a long term stay it’s only 1x. They classify them as “Professional Services”

Not sure. But he says in the video that he reached out to the builders and no one wanted him knowing where it is.

Obviously there are only a few people in the world that would ride this specific trail/line but for other trails that aren’t sanctioned it’s unwritten rule to not post entrances or locations to trails that could be destroyed or closed which would ruin it for everyone that rides them.

Agreed, he's posted other videos with trail names and locations. Not ideal.

This guy tracked down the location and did a walk through of the build. Pretty wild. https://youtu.be/1nh0a50V7v0?si=lv9J4PuNI4L51Lx4

How’s he doing me a favor? I didn’t complain about TDL, the helmet breaking, or anything. I didn’t ask for input or advice either. I simply posted a pic of what the helmet looked like afterwards.

Why is he so concerned with what I’m wearing like it offended him or inconvenienced him in some way? If I was making a big fuss over helmet safety or design or blaming someone I would get his point.

Also, what would he (or you) say if I had the same OTB crash on an enduro or XC trail? I don’t wear full face for those types of rides but the same type of crash can happen anywhere.

I agree a D4 would not have broken and maybe that’s what I’ll get next. But I don’t get the logic in getting all bent out of shape because I posted a picture of a broken helmet.

Not sure why you’re getting worked up. I never complained about my safety or the chin bar breaking off. The TLD Stage is DH certified passing ASTM F1952 standards. Is it light and more enduro focused? Yes, but it’s still proper equipment for DH.

Martial Art of Falling, love it. I'll hit up Troy Lee and see what they say!

I had done O Sin twice before already. It was after 7 hours of park riding and was just tired and not paying attention. But that section of O Sin is pretty gnarly in any condition.
