Should I go from 24 inch to 28 inch bars? I'm looking at holzfeller world cup with a hussefelt stem. I like urban stuff and steep decents, but also do a lot of XC with loads of climbing - opinions?
Edit: No hussefelt stem. Stack height is too much. I need something 40 or less. Any ideas on that as well?

How broad are your shoulders? Us Clydesdale type need some room. Seems like the more compact riders like to stay svelt. In tight forest descents a broader bar can trip you up.

No, you shut up. I have the flu so have been drifting in and out of consciousness all weekend long. By the way, it's spelled "Couture".

I think it's more of a B2B watch. You're GTG with that watch.

My ride schedule will be changing after Thankgiving. I took an evening job supervising the local homless shelter/food kitchen. It'll be challenging but I think it'll be worth the effort. I'll have plenty of solo ride time in the mornings.

I'm swapping forks on my bikes today. Nixon goes on the Enduro and the Marz id going on the HT. I like the nixon soooooo much more. I don't use the ETA on the Enduro but I think it would be useful on the HT.
