Gear Recommendations (old)

I haven’t worked for a trek shop in about 10 years, or a bike shop in 7.

I wish I had time to go to a shop and try it on.

40-45qt hardside coolers: narrowed down to Orca, RTIC, and Cabela’s. Looking for something to keep food and drinks cold for 1-2 nights summer truck camping. Orca is MUSA and pink, RTIC is cheaper at $150 while the others are $250-280. Cabela’s seems burlier than the others and has tested better.

BC was all about that jawn[/quote]

I was just thinking about how my current rain jacket is too floppy and then you post this and it’s marked down from $180 to $70. I’m taking good this as a sign[/quote]
Wow, they don’t wont my dirty money, wont allow NZ credit cards, or paypal, or allow re-shipping. Sucks to be not an American!

I’ll get you one and ship it to you. For the low low price of you buying a jacket for me.

Maybe you can use tarck forwarding.

Ha ha. It would still be cheaper. That is a hell price. They 3-hundy in NZ.
The attraction was the price, not the actual need ! They recently changed their shipping policy. First time I’ve been caught out like that. No biggie : )

I can’t decide whether these are rad or dumb.

Dumb.

Need new no frills shorts for MTB cuz I’m getting heckin thigh gap when I wear knee pads. Fox Ranger Cargo w/ 12" inseam seems fine but what else is good?

Alex, if u start wearing backwards flatbrim we will need to have an intervention.

Or even forwards. There are LIMITS. At least with a new house in seattle he’s gonna be too broke for the HD pickup with the 12" lift and wide tires.

lol


MTBSUMMER = 10% off

There you go. You can look like a fred while you shred.

I got some giro new road shorts that are the best from like 3 years ago. I think bike gallery still has 28s for like 20 bux if you are super skinny.

I find myself wearing my Dakine shorts over the Fox or Pactimo shorts I also have. I’ve been thinking about trying the Sombrio shorts, too.

Closeout Giros would be dope but I’m a 31 waist. Those clearance Cadence shorts from awhile back woulda been good too but I was a doofus and hemmed them to like 9".

What model Dakine shorts?

No funds for HD lifted pickup but I could trade my lil Mazda for a Delica.

I think they’re the Pace model. There’s also the Ridge with a 15" inseam.

Those are great shorts, but they might not solve the thigh gap issue. I’ve got three different pairs of New Roads and they’d all be gappy. Awesome for riding around town looking somewhat normal, though.
