8/27/2026 6:18am No, but I used to ride Patapsco 3-4 times a week when I lived in the city. I’m part of GUMBO, which primarily does trail work in Little Gunpowder State Park. It doesn’t have the mileage of Patapsco but its has a good variety of trails, great core group that does a ton of maintenance and building, and it’s 2...

8/26/2026 10:40am I’m a board member for my local trail building group. We mostly do trail work at a state park about 2 miles from my house. In a roundabout way, we are lucky that the state parks are understaffed and underfunded. We’ve had a few big projects, mostly large bridges, and a few new trails, that came with funding and help...

8/26/2026 9:13am Do chain isolating devices like O-chain/sidekick help with Anti-rise? I know they don’t eliminate the actual anti-rise that is happening with the suspension and bike geometry, but do they make the negative characteristics of high ant-rise more manageable?

8/24/2026 7:31pm My property is about 6 acres but is completely surrounded by a 400+ acre county park. The part of the park that surrounds my property is like “no man’s land”, there’s no county trails, infrastructure, or even a perceptible border between my property and the park. So it makes it feel as if I have 50+ nicely wooded acres surrounding...

8/20/2026 7:19am Forgive me, I'm not a suspension nerd. What is the Scott Spark's suspension linkage classified as?

8/18/2026 11:03am I heard the Yeti MT is being released on the 25th. It can’t come soon enough, I’ve held off on buying 3 different frames over the last few weeks hoping the Yeti will be “the one.”

8/16/2026 2:18pm While I’m no 32er apologist. I’m old enough to remember this exact argument when 29ers came out. I was working at a shop in College when 29ers started to hit the market, people would come in and actually get pissed at us for having 29ers on the floor. Anyone remember anti-29er stickers on people’s cars? I can remember a few...

8/14/2026 8:23am Is imminent next week? I've come close to pulling the trigger on a new frame a few times over the last couple of weeks. I've partially been hesitant because I had a feeling Yeti would release their new mid travel bike the day after I bought a frame.

8/12/2026 10:11am I guess I'm core because I made the Tomac/Ridemonkey post.

8/10/2026 7:53pm Or a horizontally mounted Mass Tuned Damper. Reduce lateral vibrations and add weight down low. Win win.

8/9/2026 11:30am On the Tomac subject, does anyone remember there were rumor and even pictures I think, of Tomac and a few engineers with one of the Honda Bikes at a bike park in Colorado doing testing. This was a year or two after Honda folded, apparently Honda loaned the bike to Tomac with the idea that Tomac might bring the bike...

8/6/2026 6:45pm Funny timing. I just bought a pair of 2FO cliplite in my size on PB for 55 bucks, they are brand new. They are my 3rd pair, I actually bought my 2nd pair before while my 1st were still going strong. My 2nd pair bit the dust a couple months ago and I’ve been searching for my size on eBay...
