do not worry, it has been adjusted

just looked at the angle and thats not where i remember setting it, probably ended up different as i was tightening it.

you know how many times i've heard "it's going to be a while. we just got in 500 of these bike parts and they need them right away" if you can pass my parts off as a brake rotor we're in business

thanks jeff. some of those anodized made in USA bike parts get pico/bhse parts delayed because they're considered higher priority.

get the Schiit Birgir

yeah i can do that, 3 mile ride from here

http://www.terrain360.com/index.html full list. i know the "Google Bike" catches bikers in the shots of a number of these trails, so that should be a clue.

damn. how do i tell. width?

http://www.terrain360.com/trails/virginia/riprap_1/riprap.html this is the first one i want to do, 9.6 miles. i drive by on the west of that ridge to the machine shop all the time and would never know the trail is up there

wednesday i think

lots of trails out that way if you're interested in coming down a future weekend

what are those bands for...if you go splat?

is anyone using a GPS or just a phone?

$80 would have covered it....in 1950

for the trails around here, a hardtail would be fine i'm sure. but i think i have learned by now, don't buy without trying. i probably needed 2 or 3 more demos and rentals, but i found what I thought was a fair deal on something I knew I liked so i went for it

Have had 50 of these for a while, just tested. 1050-1100V Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There's no time to do it. Even if i send off an email and BHSEs started being made in China and were finished in 2 weeks, there would still be no time. There are other ways though, like MSB offers its DAC modules or complete DAC boards to OEMs to put in their own boxes. The price would likely be way out of line with my current products, however. The other way is to try to create a 'real' company and start hiring engineers. But creating a payroll that is currently several times my profits is probably what sinks most of these companies.

i didnt say this was smart, Brent

that works if i have a laptop with me. it's easier to use a tablet, and the touchscreen interfaces are intuitive. at RMAF when I've used a laptop you'd be surprised how many people will come up to the computer and say "What do i do.." unfortunately, i have an iPad, and while you can use that with some DACs the possibility of using it with external media at the same time is very unlikely. an Android tablet, i bet it can be done.

bought this. that's actually the one in Austin, I found the same one from a shop in New England for $400 less, thanks to the cold weather most likely.

too competitor-y with the headphones

http://www.terrain360.com/trails/virginia/riprap_1/riprap.html this is pretty cool...the official trails in my county have "google street view". ive looked at a few of these trails and there's really nothing that would need much suspension...its just dirt paths then i saw this: http://www.terrain360.com/trails/virginia/humpback_rocks_1/tour.html?func=jumptopano&markercount=2 (you have to click to around 90% the end of the trail) but mostly just dirt paths. definitely what i'm interested in doing as there's some elevation gains

medium is the smallest for that model. they say its for 5'5" and up and i'm also 5'8" so i just realized that the rental I had that I thought was too big..i'm pretty sure it had a Fox fork which would have been 120mm of travel the one i demo'd last weekend that felt more comfortable had a Rock Shox 100mm fork. could that have been the difference?

Went to Mellow Johnny's bike shop in my free day in Austin. They had a Santa Cruz Superlight I wanted to try. On paper it seemed like everything I was looking for -- a little smaller than the Tallboy, and cheaper. It rode OK on pavement but the backend was really loose on gravel or slick grass. Sitting right next to it was a Santa Cruz Tallboy, same bike I rode in Fairfax except maybe different front fork. It was a raw aluminum look and is sweet. When I rode it in Fairfax, I thought it was way too big for me. This time it felt right and I had no problem getting on it. Could the rental have been setup differently, or am I just getting used to adult sized bikes? I rode it and it was great and the size feels good. Then took a rental Giant Anthem on a trail here, which was all rocks and not a lot of fun. The Giant was a size small (all they had), which fit my legs, but I was really cautious about going over the bars and now I see the benefit to a proper fitting size for the torso. Then stopped by Bicycle Sport Shop where they had the exact same Tallboy for $350 less, except they don't want to be accommodating on shipping/sales tax issues. So I left and will keep looking around - Mellow Johnny's will ship for me if i want it. Might need to do some local rentals in VA on home trails
