I'm guesstimating 400 hp at the wheels.

Last but not least: Greg aced it! Thanks for the wine, the beer and most of all: the certificates you made re. the manual swap thread! Thank you so much dude, you rock!

Haven't gone yet, no. Barely scratching the surface in Tucson, Phoenix/Sedona/Flagstaff will be for later this year.

Yes, I went through the original tires in a matter of days. Even if you make every effort to stay on the trails, you get sidewall cuts from rocks or punctures from needles. I am running some Specialized tires now. They're heavier tires but it doesn't matter, I'm not concerned about weight with this bike.

It's a 2015 Salsa Spearfish 2. Aluminum, full suspension 29'er. Solid bike, it can take a lot of abuse. Up until this past June, I had sworn off MTB's but this bike and the landscape here have changed my mind. Semi on topic: raced a training crit in town last night. 4 corner crits in the dark are scary but fun.

Local MTB trail (50 yr trail). And for the record: eating sh*t in the dirt > eating sh*t on the road. Barely scratched, no issue.

Harsh, Greg deserves a pat on the back just the same as everyone. The screw up was not his but UPS. I can wait, I've been told my beer consumption was getting as tad too regular anyway.

Gotcha, makes sense.

Wait, what ?!

Yeah, I had to unfollow him on IG after he posted some stuff that I would have never wanted to see on my feed.

Frank is a great guy too. Love what you're doing with this wagon, I admire your patience and thoroughness. It will be a great car once you're done.

Mike just gets grumpy around his bedtime. NBD.

Just you wait, just you wait......

Nothing here

FedEx and UPS are sucking donkey balls this season. FedEx has had a package of mine in NM for over 10 days now, just hanging out "in transit" with no delivery date available. 90% chance it's lost or damaged. I know it snows in CO, they know it snows in CO, it's really not hard to take that into account.

Mine should be delivered no later than tomorrow.

Shipped, tracking info sent to Pat. Because spam is fun.

I love Galaxies, I have sent a lot to a client in England. Absolutely love them. Stick a 390 and a 4 speed in one and I'd be set.

So much win

A case of Beaujolais ?! Nice! The jerrsey would be cool too but the wine would do! Patrick: rain gear for cycling. Easily found on Amazon, Nashbar or even better: your local bike shop. Kevin: a dildo. Seriously, that joke's not dead yet. Timo: a gift card to GNC Jon: weed, lots of it. Dude needs to chill. Erik: I gave him a book on traveling last year, I think. I dunno, dude has it all. Cool job, smart and attractive wife, healthy kid, fast cars, etc.... AJ: hiking stuff, outdoor gear Adam: pizza Greg: detailing supplies. Mike: BMW swag (go fast parts, not the pretty dealer overpriced junk) Tommy: bike stuff, a gift card to his local liquor store Mike: Tack strips. I hear he likes them a lot. You're welcome.

Not seeing it, at all. Wagons are wagons, all look kinda the same.

You can't blame him for being a grump if this is the crap he gets from everyone else. I'm actually surprised you didn't have one. Dogs are weird when they're scared and lash out. (our 3 yr old was attacked by a dog over thanksgiving) Sweetest dog but he was scared of kids.

I gave up all measures of data, with only the Strava app to keep up with distances and routes. I actually ride better without all that stuff. But any modern day coach will require some sort of power measure to tailor your training to your goals. I

Yeah, clydesdales are known to put down amazing power.
