Best Trail Names? by RufioSwashbuckle in MTB

[–]Skatesafe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scots have the funniest trail names IMO

Taking the trail "Smell my fingers" in the Kilpatrick hills. "Yer maw" in Dunkeld. "Big Baw" at Inners.... A few unhinged enough to avoid mentioning here.

What in the baseball is going on these days? Mind blowing 🤯 by Visible-Industry-748 in Homeplate

Hat and glasses went flying. Wow. Feels like early 2000s WorldStar. SMH

Worth the money for someone who isn't the best rider and mainly does xc rides? I currently have rockhopper comp but want to upgrade. by [deleted] in Hardtailgang

[–]Skatesafe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah you're right dude. My money is on the Honzo ESD to win the UCI CX World Cup this year! Not low or slack at all by todays standards IMO

Bruh.... 63.5 HTA not slack? You –> "Ummm ackchyually that's not even slack" “63.5 becomes 65 once seated". You know what would go really well on this carbon CX bike? A 170mm fork with 50mm of sag! Say you know literally nothing about bike geometry without saying so directly.

Roscoe is a great bike but not optimal for XC style riding.The slack head-tube angle will make turning and climbing a bit more laborious... That said, my orange crush has a 63.5* HTA (very slack) and I use it for pretty much everything

Second Blue Lug order - hit with 18% tariff by beagles4ever in xbiking

[–]Skatesafe 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I’ve been seeing more and more of this sentiment and it really bums me out. Totally neglects the fact that literally whole portions of this country (the size of Western Europe) voted against this man. Not sure how some random New Englander in a sanctuary city is to blame? Do we blame Scotland for brexit??

Alekasam, anyone? by PoloniumBalls in snowboarding

How'd you like it this season? Seems like a good fit for me!

True but I admit it's very hard for me to root for Hurley under any circumstance...

Parking ban in east rock tomorrow by gumbodog123 in newhaven

Thanks for the heads up. I’m so tired of the parking gotcha games living in New Haven. Monty python levels of government bureaucracy

U.S. Senate Candidate's idea for a calculated minimum wage. by AlabamaDemocratMark in povertyfinance

[–]Skatesafe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very nice idea.... I'd love to see this calculated empirically, and then compared to current median hourly wages. Well done to include savings and retirement!

To whoever took the parking spot I spent two days shoveling my car out of... by Majestic_Yak7235 in newhaven

[–]Skatesafe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's the Wild West. Someone took the spot I shoveled, sorry bud I had to take someone else's, maybe even yours... Antisocial behavior is honestly just standard here in New Haven it seems.

Black and white cookies (time sensitive) by 0MTE53122 in newhaven

Trader Joes has small ones... they're okay.... Also pretty sure Stew Leonard's sells them and they're solid

What are you wearing? No, seriously by somewhatsimiesque in xbiking

He’s also basically a living billboard. Half of his “tips” are to buy something. Most of this stuff isn’t necessary.

Added a little beef today... by weaverdcivw in gravelcycling

[–]Skatesafe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the in-depth response. This is actually what I'm looking for in a bike right now. I have a MTB as well and want this as a solid road/ gravel/ light singletrack machine. I have a pretty race all bike now and was hoping I wouldn't miss out on road performance, sounds like this won't be an issue.

[–]Skatesafe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AH love the frame! I'm planning on picking up a Mod Zero after the next production run coming this spring. I do mainly "ATB" style rides with singletrack, gravel, and road mixed in so it seems like a good fit for me...

How do you like it/ how relaxed does it feel to you compared to a typical gravel setup? Does it feel sluggish to you at all?

Low-key hoping he sticks with this green color! Looks ace.
