Long time follower! I’ve been gradually getting more into this hobby and admittedly after buying my machine opted to get good at it before investing more money. So far I’m at a point where I’d like to do some upgrades. I’ve been wanting a bottomless portafilter. Curious on thoughts or if anyone has any recs?

We are closing on a new home and want to get it cleaned really really well. Anyone have any great recs for a cleaner?

Hi everyone, in the process of closing on a home and trying to get some homeowners quotes. They seem a little high based on some preliminary research, ($200-$300/month) curious if this is the norm or if anyone has some recs where they are getting good coverage for better pricing. * I don’t have any dings, prior claims history or anything that would cause my premium to be high.

Selling a home and the buyer gets 10 days for home inspections/submit requests. Is it common for the buyer/agent to wait till the last minute to submit these requests or provide any feedback to my agent? I’m on Day 8 and just feel like these are the longest 10 days of my life. jeez this waiting game is crazy!

Looking at grabbing a spire but curious how others feel about it. I currently have a 130/120 light trail bike and wanting to add a bit more travel for the occasional bike park day as well as pushing myself out of my comfort zone with some forgiveness.

I’m considering going spire or sentinel (possibly exploring increasing travel here).

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Keen on my Druid V2 and it’s pretty darn capable. I especially like it in its stock configuration, it feels light and poppy and enjoy long rides. My question is does anyone with a Druid also have a Dreadnaught and see enough use out of both of them? I’m concerned there is too much overlap, especially when I’ve seen folks throw a cascade link and increase the fork travel to 160mm on Druids.

Hey all. Have a ‘18 Silverado 1500 4x4 and in desperate need of some new shocks. I live in the mountains and drive a lot of fire roads, pot holes,etc. I don’t tow anything but generally loaded down with a camper shell, bike rack, bikes and some equipment in my bed.

I’m considering the following

- Bilstein 5100s Fr and Re
- Eibach Pro 1
- Fox 2.0s

Based on my options you can kinda tell my budget. But curious if anyone has had good luck with any of these and/or a better option.

Thanks.

Long time mountain biker but really have never bought into the dedicated gear. I usually just wear cotton shirts and jean shorts, never felt like i needed gear. However, I wouldn’t mind one active tee that wicks moisture and maybe some shorts that don’t ride up as much. Would be sick if they doubled as clothes i wear regularly. Anyways, anyone keen on some cool brands?

Currently have a Druid and wanting to add another bike (can get a pretty rad deal). I’m torn with getting Forbidden’s short travel bike (Reya) or their enduro Dreadnaught. Unfortunately the Druid sits right in the middle of the two so it’s kinda close to both. I ride everything xc/trail/enduro so use case isn’t hard. Anyways, objectively speaking there’s a clear answer, which will i use more but i also like wrong answers too. So what would YOU do?

Curious if anyone who has increased their fork travel to 160 and added a cascade link to their Druid liked it. Did it ruin the geometry or make it a worse or better bike?
