Tropical Storm Bagstr
Oracle replied to Bagstr's topic in Informal Local Rides & Who's Going Riding!
I was thinking this same thing, except for Sunday. Sounds like a good chance for some flash floods, which are super cool to witness. -
Tubeless radial tires for observed trials bikes are designed to run at 5-7 PSI without a problem. Copy. That's quite different though. High speed, heavy bikes, compared to low speed, light bikes.

Ok, thanks all. Now I'm curious how many people are running tube less??? My first thought, remember I'm coming from a MX background where 12 psi was the norm, was that blowing the bead on a square edge hit would be a major concern. But at higher psi maybe that's not as much of a concern as I though? TO

Speaking of Go Pro, whatever happen to the vid from the last Anza ride? I'm pretty sure you got some video of The Oracle absolutely destroying it :heh: -

Riding this weekend?
Oracle replied to Todd Whiteside's topic in Informal Local Rides & Who's Going Riding!
That's cool, I'm out too. I fogot I'm on call again this weekend... -
I purchased it a couple years when I was riding Glamis 10 times a season. I was a very nice,and inexpensive insurance policy, but the main draw back is that when you go down, you will not have the luxury of choosing which air ambulance service they call to evac you. Most areas are covered by 2 or 3 air evac services, so you could end up getting a ride on one that is not covered. With that said, the cost is so minimal in the grand scheme of things, it's still worth considering.

Riding this weekend?
Oracle replied to Todd Whiteside's topic in Informal Local Rides & Who's Going Riding!
I'm a possibility for Saturday, but I'm finishing up a kitchen remodel so I'm a tad ambivalent about it... -
Well, I can almost guarantee you that they are not perfectly balanced as is...sooooo...something is not right. Either they forgot to balance them all to together, or the forgot to add the weights as necessary ...A phone call is in order for sure.

Looks pretty clean too. Maybe I can swap it out with my 950 and nobody will ever notice.

Sunday Aug 11 Ramona - Anza - Palomar Divide
Oracle replied to vanjoosten's topic in 1 to 3 Day Ride Write-Ups, Stories and Photos
It was fun... I forgot the Vanjoosten didn't finish that same route last time or I would have pressured him a little more to get it done, damned the headlight assembly...it's under warranty. I say we pick it up a little next time and get out of 2nd gear... -

<------------- IN! -
technically, if you were stopped on the highway without DOT tires, your bike could be towed and impounded, it just depends on how the officers wants to handle it.

The good news is that you'll only do that once!

Sunday- Aug4- who's riding? where? when?
Oracle replied to bikeslut's topic in Informal Local Rides & Who's Going Riding!
Lurking for the BMW ride or something else.. -
A good friend of mine was assigned to the task force that deploys on that boat. I have first hand knowledge of it and can tell you it is even more bad ass than you can imagine.
-
I've done it. It was many years ago (30 or so), and I remember it taking a few weeks to get back to normal. I couldn't imagine doing Baja a week later, that's for sure.
