Is it just me, or is it getting harder to keep track of how these professional deals are actually structured? I feel like every time a new player signs, there's some bizarre fine print that nobody actually understands. Anyone else noticing more of these "special" exceptions popping up lately?

Patrick King7 said:Could that actually wreck the fork? Like, if you have a weaker setup paired with a massive rotor? From what I've gathered, some forks have a hard limit on the rotor size they can handle.

It definitely can. I remember riding an old Trek where the limit was 185mm, but on my Fox Revelation, it goes up to 210mm.

I’ve got a Trek 820 disc setup that came stock with 160mm hydraulic rotors. I was wondering if I could just swap in larger discs—maybe go up to 185mm—without having to overhaul the entire braking system? Also, how often are you guys topping off the reservoir at the lever, and what kind of fluid are you using? 🙄

Don't go messing around with the derailleur adjustment yourself; you should probably just take it into a shop, because it isn't as simple as just popping it open and draining the oil.

These photos really fit my nickname: maybe I’ll actually take flight, haha 😉




Here’s one where I’m acting normal instead of putting on a whole show for everyone 😁
I still need to put on a few pounds to look like I belong 😉
But hey, I’m still young—there’s plenty of time

No offense intended, but at first glance, the only thing that might be a tougher ride than yours would probably be a BMX. Still, if the crew says you can pull it off, don't let them get in your head—good luck out there. Maybe try some uphill and downhill stretches to test it out. 31 miles Take a walk around the property and see how things actually shake out. If you get a 20 by 50 setup going, those thousand-dollar bills will start rolling in easy.

I'm not sure why you'd think I'm angry, but I really don't see the reason for it.

So, how did you end up installing those roof racks?

Sorry to crash the party here, but I was wondering what you all think of my bike—do you think it’s actually up for some serious riding, or is it just for show? 622 miles Travel, or rather, some kind of moderate journey?
