    I picked up a Slate today. 650b "road" bike with a 30mm lefty on it. It's gloriously silly fun.

    I totally agree on discs. I'm not an expert or anything but I do a bunch of XC/enduro racing throughout the season (with a podium or two). Good brakes that modulate well are definitely a huge part of being able to ride smoother, and smooth = fast. As far as the lefty, I've always wanted one...

    I picked it up today. Fast bike is fast.

    I think they're about $3500 now, but I got mine for 2800 at the end of last season. I tossed a dropper on it and it's perfect (though I did throw an 11 speed drivetrain on there because Jenson had some crazy stupid deals over the winter on XT stuff. Shifter/Derailleur/chain/cassette for around...

    Check out the Rocky Mountain Sherpa. It's their 27.5+ "Bikepacking Bike". I have one and it's fucking awesome, it's insanely comfortable and a great all-rounder. Decent for XC, usable in snow (if you get any), great in rock gardens and has a ton of range.

    Fuck yeah dude. I have a 2014 Trance Advanced , and almost 2000 miles later I still love it. Fantastic bike, enjoy it and beat the hell out of it!

    I ordered up a new toy. Should be here in a week or two. Who can guess what it is? Hints: - Will be green anodized shit everywhere on it - My other bikes are a slacked out 160mm all mountain, an awesomely-comforable-but-slow 27.5+ trail couch, and a fatty. - I needed something fast for XC...

    Built some new wheels for my trance. Stans MK3 with glorious blue anodized Hope hubs and nipples. Anodized parts = KOMs. Unintentionally artsy farsy pics are just because the background is snow, heh.

    I'd buy you a beer at that Boston show, but I'll be out of town. I dig this new tune quite a bit!

    I haven't really gone over to /7/ since I sold it. I'm too old for that crew, heh.

    Gets a lot of shit from who? The 5150 fucking rips, and anyone who says otherwise needs to get their ears checked.

    Not even Halford can save that FFDP song from being bro metal garbage. Here's something proper.

    I fat bike a ton, and have done a few fat metrics in sub-30 temps. Layers are definitely your friend. If you cramp a lot, either bring something salty or give Sportlegs a shot. As for boots, I use Lake 303s. They aren't cheap ($250-300) but they are fucking awesome. I've worn them on...

    I am dying for some snow up here, but I pretty much ensured a brown winter up here already - I bought a new AWD car, a new snowblower and a new snowboard. We got fuck all for snow last year so I'm hoping we get bombed this season.
