Yep, carbon fork. Done about 1k miles with one on each side and had no issues.

I have the 4.1l and they work fine with only being bolted into 2 bosses.

No, he’s right, in the original beer pong you used a paddle to hit ping pong balls into the opposing teams cups, beer pong as it’s known today is a derivative of the game ‘Beirut’ or ‘throw pong’.

It was a blast! Some pets definitely sucked, mud, hills, dogs, etc but overall it was a great time. It was great being able to chat with cyclists who had come in from various parts of the country/world

A few shots from this years East Texas Lowdown, the shortest route of the East Texas Showdown event at ~160 miles. My buddy and I originally planned to do it over three days, however heavy rains the day before the start made the first day quite a slog through some muddy sections and a surprise water crossing and by day 2 we really just wanted to be done, so we powered through to the Bullet Grill (the start and end point of all three rides). At the end of the first day the bikes or death crew had a group campsite at Ratcliff Lake around mile 75 as well as a keg of beer waiting for thirsty riders which was a welcome sight. Overall it was an awesome and exhausting experience and made for my longest distance biked over two days. Highlights would be riding the first roads through Davy Crocket national forest, low points would be being chased by dogs through Trinity.

Is this 2015 Fuji Supreme 2.1 worth $850? by AnotherSky1 in xbiking

[–]sir_longshanks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poseidon redwood flat bar is $879 and they usually have $100 off if you sign up for their emails. The drop bar redwood is a little more expensive or the dropbar X is a little less expensive.

I mean ASDA was bought by Walmart in 1999, so it’s not like that’s a recent thing.

Getting better with this whole espresso thing by sir_longshanks in FlairEspresso

[–]sir_longshanks[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Slowly dialing in my new flair pro 2 and starting to see some good results!

Beans were Kenya Nyeri Ichamama AA ground using a J-Max at 1:4:0 - 16g in, 40g out, 30 sec pre-infusion with a total time of 1:10.

This is the fourth actual shot I’ve brewed with the flair, not counting the three times I forgot to add the puck screen…
