    Ask an automobile mechanic.

    You can pay a hundred bucks or so and buy the OBD 11 scanner to register the new battery. And then get the replacement battery from Costco for cheap. That’s what I do with my two VWs

    The Good Deals Thread

    I had the trp slate T4 on a trail bike for a few years and they were pretty good. I just replaced them with Hayes Dominions which blow them away. Yes, the Hayes Dominion A4 are currently on sale for a lot more than $50 per side, ($125 a side from N+1 bikes), but they are so much better...

    Rattling MTB Marathon '24 (was '23) - M.A.S.S.

    Am still sore as hell! Guess I have to do some longer rides to prepare. Fighting cramps from mile 20 until the end and had to slow down. 3:42 finish for 42/65 45+. This was much harder than Dickerson Mine! Looking forward to Iron Furnace at wayway.

    What color tint for sunglasses?

    Any downsides you can think of? I can see how they would be very useful going from bright light then going clear in a forest. Are yours polarized as well?

    Great pics! I lived in Tucson from 99-2000, in the very top left of this pic you can see the enormous Leviathan dome and Wilderness Dome. There is incredible rock climbing on Leviathan Dome, right up the center on the North Face, and a little to the left on a route called User Friendly...

    Raceface Turbine or Fox Transfer dropper

    This is my strategy. I have one fox transfer factory, another as a spare for $130, and another Race Face (which is also a transfer) for $109. Three mtbs and I already totally wore the anodizing off a Trans X, so these will come in handy.

    Mayhem 2024 Roll Call And Recaps!

    I’m in, first Cat 1 race. Of course there has to be 24 people. My claim to fame is that I won cat 2 45+ H2H last year. Looking at the cat 1 lap times, and now including the younguns, this is going to be an education!

    Help Me Pick a Bike (North Jersey)

    I started out on a 32lb 150/140 (intense 951 trail) and it’s overkill for everything in NNJ except jumps and drops. Fun for that, but I don’t do any lift assist and it’s slow on the uphills. I also have a 130mm hardtail and that feels great for around here. No jumps or big drops mostly...
