Pinched the front going downhill and the rear going uphill.

I think you must have just taken bad lines.
I ride my road bike offroad all the time with 100psi and me weighing around 85kg.

There's no doubt my lines were pretty bad, but based on that pic alone the rocks I was dealing with were also a lot sharper and bigger so that probably didn't help either.

Cool socks!

I've never had much luck with giro gloves... 3rd ride with a pair and the stitching is coming apart already at the finger panels. :foo:

Forgot to add, they were the remedy X2's, supposedly their "tough" MTB gloves....

Mumonkan 12-23-16 07:23 AM

I swear by the DND on the mtb, best glove ever. It took a year and my bikepacking trip in AZ to destroy them.

When i got back home first thing i did was order another pair.

I got pair of these fox gloves that are super lightweight and they're fantastic, except for the fact that the grippers (which actually do help) on the index fingers are already coming off after maybe a dozen rides

Nice work! I'm not on the wagon, but I stopped having any more than two beers at a sitting a few years ago, and definitely noticed the difference in the bank account!

:bday:

Congrats. It sounds like you didn't have a problem, but congrats still. Second best thing I ever did was quit drinking and smoking. Will be 4 years in February. Haven't had a sip since that day. And I will tell you what, a Coke after a really good ride is a pretty damn good substitute!!

Fox gloves have the durability of a nacho chip.

Mumonkan 12-25-16 08:44 PM

Accurate. Great glove tho when they're brand new and its hot as balls out

Extremely accurate. Picked up a set of the Fox Ranger lightweight gloves off of Jenson or wherever. First ride, they started falling apart. Luckily I paid like $12.00 for them so it isn't a huge loss. Was hoping that they were a little tougher than a wet Kleenex tho.

Happy holidays all! I just walked out to find the passenger side window of my car smashed... Too bad for whoever did it, because there was nothing valuable in there! I feel sorry for the guy. Merry Christmas, wherever you are.

The nice breakfast and irish coffees that I'm about to enjoy with my gf should put my day back in the right direction .

Yeah I came home to my side view mirror smashed on xmas eve. Thanks a lot Obama!

Leukybear 12-27-16 01:19 AM

Watched rogue one today in imax. I successfully went into the movie blind, avoiding spoilers and even the released trailers, to my pleasure.

Without a doubt follows canon.

The sqrl practically lost it when she heard me say under my breath "oh ****, it's ip man!"

Admire your attitude about this. :thumb:

TMonk 12-27-16 09:33 AM

Thanks haha. Honestly if there was anything valuable that I lost, I'd probably be pissed.
