If FEMA had the bicycles, would it fund Hustler's manlet bib?

I came across these pictures on MTBR just now, 949racing tubeless setup, lol!




The guy said it's been working great for him, really cracked me up to see 949 alum valve stems on a bike.

Emilio, when are you going to make these in presta form? (only kind of joking).

Yup. Had to reduced min order qty to 2 valves a few years ago in response to that.

Ride is about ~13 miles total, mostly uphill going, mostly downhill back. We got caught in a full-on monsoon with hail and flooding about 5 miles from the car. Craziest flooding and whatnot I've ever seen on a trail. This pic is from when we got to the bottom, so a lot of the mud was flung off the bikes by then. At one point we hit "adobe" mud that clogged up the bikes and we had to walk in the rain for a bit. Was pretty sweet, and she had a blast despite it all.



Ride safe guys

Nice.

Getting to ride with your friends is great, but getting to ride with a wife/future wife is the best. Lets see some trail pics out there in that part of the world.

This is SO true. I love riding hard with the guys, but it's a whole other experience to have a scenic more leisurely ride with the lady. She's really been impressing me, she rode 12 miles yesterday, we got caught in a huge hail storm and had to ride back in death mud, and she still had to work the next day.

Here's some random pictures i dug up of trails around here:

I agree entirely, although I think a DH/gravity oriented pedal bike is going to be my next venture. Right now though I'm just gonna ride the **** out of what I have and save money for a bit.

I really want a cross bike too, and a new mountain bike, and ...

Positive experience: hillkiller.com

They're making me jerseys and waiving the $50 art fee since I'm only changing colors around and not altering the design. I asked what size they thought I'd be and they rushed me a sampling of sizes to try on, with a return envelope and label. Stand up dudes.
