I have a good fifty miles into my new MTB so I started playing with the suspension settings. For starters I had set up the pressures per recommendation and put the rebound knobs right in the middle of their range. Today I added a little pressure to the rear and took all the rebound knobs out two clicks. This didn't seem to accomplish much on the fork but the rear felt a lot more active.

Saturday I met a guy who wanted to sell a "like new" tire via Craigslist and I passed on it. It was a premium tire but used up - the knobs were round. He cussed as he left, "I don't know what people expect for twenty bucks, @#$% eighty dollar tire..." If he paid eighty dollars for it, he's a fool, you can find it anywhere for sixty... and if he wants twenty dollars for it now when it's worthless...
