| rick_h | mrgoodcat: now I have an outdated bike lol | 16:18 |
| cmaloney | MUG tonight: http://mug.org | 16:54 |
| mrgoodcat | rick_h: time for a new one i guess | 16:58 |
| mrgoodcat | i ended up pulling the trigger on a tallboy. not sure if i mentioned or not | 16:58 |
| mrgoodcat | 130/140 seems to be a really common setup these days among folks who used to run like 110-120 range. Think modern suspensions are just so good that the additional 1-2cm isn't the pedaling penalty it used to be | 16:59 |
| mrgoodcat | I like the description as "all mountain playbike" | 17:00 |
| mrgoodcat | almost a 77 degree seat tube wowzers | 17:01 |
| jrwren | i thought 27.5" was out of style. | 17:02 |
| jrwren | lol... now I'm reading https://www.pinkbike.com/news/opinion-why-is-everyone-talking-about-seat-tube-angles.html | 17:04 |
| mrgoodcat | with a 2.6" tire you get almost the outside diameter of a 29" wheel with a traditional size like 2.3 | 17:04 |
| rick_h | mrgoodcat: yea | 17:04 |
| mrgoodcat | I retrofitted a steeper seat tube on my bike (slid my saddle forward) and I can tell you it makes a huge difference climbing | 17:04 |
| mrgoodcat | and since i use my dropper liberally I don't really care about my seat for descending | 17:05 |
| mrgoodcat | michigan trails have a lot of flat pedally sections though which is where that steep seat tube can be a little uncomfortable | 17:05 |
| jrwren | you guys are hardcore. | 17:05 |
| mrgoodcat | i've only biked somewhere just under 400 miles this year so far. many people i ride with have done more than twice that | 17:06 |
| jrwren | i've biked a few miles this year :) | 17:06 |
| jrwren | literally... 4 or 5.. just a few. | 17:07 |
| mrgoodcat | I'm thinking about converting my stache (hardtail, 29er x 3.0) to single speed | 17:07 |
| mrgoodcat | have a 28t crank so even with the big clown tires on it i think a 16t rear cog would be probably ok | 17:07 |
