| Scary_Guy | Late to the party, but I did spend all weekend at City Club. | 06:36 |
|---|---|---|
| Scary_Guy | Well, every night at least, except tonight. | 06:36 |
| cmaloney | sheee | 13:15 |
| cmaloney | wheeee | 13:15 |
| rick_h | party | 13:18 |
| cmaloney | wheeee!!!! | 13:26 |
| jrwren | ah, to be 20yo again. I did a lot of all weekend at city club when I was young | 14:14 |
| rick_h | jrwren: lol | 14:16 |
| wolfger | Is City Club still around? | 14:25 |
| jrwren | yes, a shadow of what it once was. | 14:25 |
| cmaloney | Did they forget to pay the light bill? | 14:59 |
| cmaloney | (something something shadow) | 14:59 |
| jrwren | it was always pretty dark | 15:00 |
| mrgoodcat | rick_h: you ever use ergo grips on your mtb? | 18:13 |
| rick_h | mrgoodcat: ergon? | 18:16 |
| rick_h | mrgoodcat: yea, I tried a bunch. I've ended up going revgrips | 18:16 |
| mrgoodcat | i didn't mean ergon specifically, but ergonomic in general | 18:20 |
| mrgoodcat | although the pair i'm looking at is ergon | 18:21 |
| mrgoodcat | i'm having some issues with numbness in my right pinky, so i'm looking into what i can do to help that. also switching up my kb at work | 18:21 |
| rick_h | yea, the ge1 are really popular | 18:21 |
| mrgoodcat | ge1 is what i'm looking at | 18:21 |
| rick_h | I might have a set in the garage, have to check | 18:22 |
| mrgoodcat | why did you switch? | 18:22 |
| rick_h | the ergon were better than the ones I had before but I found I still had some wrist issues | 18:23 |
| rick_h | at that point it was like my 4th grip and I went all in on revgrips and haven't looked back | 18:23 |
| mrgoodcat | interesting the revgrips aren't shaped. "suspension" grips... | 18:23 |
| mrgoodcat | i've never seen anything like that | 18:23 |
| rick_h | but folks really have a big preference, small/firm, bigger, softer, etc | 18:23 |
| rick_h | sucks to just have to try and see what you like/works for you | 18:24 |
| mrgoodcat | wew i thought ergon was expensive | 18:24 |
| rick_h | yea, it's why it was put off a bit. Hard to test drive them | 18:26 |
| mrgoodcat | this looks like a very interesting idea | 18:26 |
| rick_h | anyway, feel free to swing by sometime and try out the ergon and see how the revgrips feel | 18:26 |
| mrgoodcat | where is "swing by"? i assume since you do royal oak chc it must be decently close? | 18:27 |
| rick_h | meh, exit 89 off I75 | 18:27 |
| mrgoodcat | clarkston iirc? | 18:27 |
| rick_h | yea | 18:27 |
| rick_h | go ride pontiac lake sometime :) | 18:28 |
| mrgoodcat | PL is great this year | 18:28 |
| mrgoodcat | the cycletherapy folks have been putting in a ton of trail days | 18:28 |
| rick_h | nice | 18:28 |
| mrgoodcat | well i might have to drop by and at least feel those revgrips if i'm in that area sometime. my lbs is an ergon dealer so thats a little easier for me haha | 18:30 |
| * cmaloney mumbles a joke about dropping by to give a drip a squeeze. | 18:38 | |
| * mrgoodcat chuckles quietly | 19:20 | |
| mrgoodcat | rick_h: do i remember correctly that at one point you were selling a santa cruz? if so did it ever sell? | 20:10 |
| rick_h | mrgoodcat: I was looking into it. Never did sell it. My wife rides it now. | 20:11 |
| rick_h | mrgoodcat: she's looking at getting a full squish this fall when the deals kick in hopefully | 20:11 |
| mrgoodcat | so am i actually | 20:11 |
| rick_h | nice | 20:12 |
| mrgoodcat | i have a trek stache right now which i love, but its still a hardtail despite the oversize tires | 20:12 |
| rick_h | yea, she's been renting a bike at places we go while I ride mine and she's sold on the idea of a bike to do it all | 20:13 |
| mrgoodcat | how squishy is she going? i'm looking in the 130 range probably | 20:13 |
| rick_h | yea, probably the same. Mine is 130 rear with overforked 150 front and we just got back from Blue Mountain bike park in Ontario | 20:14 |
| rick_h | that 130 I've had from North Carolina, black mountain trail, to oregon alpine trail, and down to south africa and it's gotten me up and down it all | 20:14 |
| mrgoodcat | i've been renting DH bikes at the parks. I'm not going to get anything that travels that far though | 20:14 |
| rick_h | oh yea, for sure. my next bike might be in the 140-145 range but part of that is my size/heft and I want to go coil in the rear | 20:15 |
| mrgoodcat | too hard to get uphill for anything over 140 | 20:15 |
| rick_h | maybe 130-140 if I go 29er | 20:15 |
| mrgoodcat | why coil? | 20:15 |
| rick_h | Yea, definitely pay a price. | 20:15 |
| rick_h | so with my size coil provides a better starting point. I don't have to jack air pressure up so hard | 20:16 |
| rick_h | I have to run my dpx2 around 230+ psi | 20:16 |
| rick_h | which is just too far outside the normal range. It can be a bit too much of a rock on smaller stuff | 20:16 |
| rick_h | coil you can adapt the spring and get to a good starting point. I put a coil up front and love it | 20:16 |
| mrgoodcat | only coil i've ridden is DH bikes in CO | 20:17 |
| rick_h | but if I did a coil in the rear I'd have to go the mrp progressive coil and the 2" of actual travel just isn't much for it to work with in the shock | 20:17 |
| mrgoodcat | a giant something-or-other with a coil last year | 20:17 |
| rick_h | Yea, giant bikes aren't great though. My wife's now rented 3 and she'd rather ride mine all day long | 20:17 |
| mrgoodcat | i just ordered an mrp ramp control cart for my fork | 20:18 |
| rick_h | it's a nice setup | 20:18 |
