Nice Jon, I feel your pain but those warm days are around the corner. Looks like mid 50's next week in Moab. Just think how nice the wildflowers are going to...
We were in Moab last weekend and it was perfect. Winter time in Moab is the best time to go. The trails are empty and you can walk right into the brewery...
What's the one piece of gear you forgot (either personal or maybe a bit for your bike) you'll make sure you bring this trip? BTW, we're having a heat wave...
This is more of a "I didn't have" item, and not a "I didn't bring" item. I would have like to have had a better mini pump, with a gauge. I've got one for this...
If Frank goes tubless, then maybe the rest of us can keep up since he won't be dragging that extra bathroom plumbing. Maureen, south florida biker returning...
next time I'll bring a sleeping bag that can handle temperatures below 40. BTW, we're having a cold front here! might even get down to 50 tonight. Maureen,...
Just because I like to promote heated debates, what is the issue with UST? Both my wife and I have used it for years with no issues. I have finished races...
Frank here, I just came back from the Kokopelli trailhead and the snow is almost melted, however its quite muddy. This will dry up soon for Chris and the other...

Hey Chris, thanks for the info. Are you running tubeless Maxxis tires on a non tubeless rim or both tubeless? I have run tubeless tires with Stan's on a non...

Thanks for the response, Since it seems we have the brain trust of MTB on this forum, has anyone tried the ZTR Olympic disk rims? I will hopefully be building...
His rims have been on my list of upgrades for a while but haven’t been able to rationalize it yet. I’ve known numerous ppl who ride them hard & haven’t ...

Hi all, First time rider, just wanted to say hello. I'm another one of the Front Rangers, from Denver here. For the record, I'll be going with what works,...
Hey Chris, Some of us mountain bikers, who are also roadies, don't subscribe to your "foofoo elitist blackberry blood doping heart monitor" syndrome. Just...
Hey Dave, good to see you jump into the tech babble before the real ride. I always carry a slime tube as backup for emergency's. They are a bit heavy but...
