Bummer. What rear tire do you run? Is it a normal height tire, or something extra tall like a trials tire?

I miss the foot brake sometime, and if I could have a strong LHRB and keep the foot brake I would. My first time without it was hilarious, I tell myself, no foot brake, no foot brake, roll out of the shop with the balls of my feet on the pegs where I love them, pull away and loft the front end...

I have a set of those universals and use them when I take my wife for a ride down to the waterfront or the park. They work better on the 2019 EXR footpegs than the 2018 SM footpegs, but with both I wouldn't be surprised if they fell off sooner or later. We haven't had any problem losing them...

Will your rub if you have the plate and plate mount off as well, as in just leave the light on? I have one on my SM and it looks super nice so I decided to keep playing with and try to get it working on my EXR. My next try was going to be to drill new holes for the plate mount and plate lite...

I just picked up one of these LED headlights but haven't had a chance to install it yet. Will likely get around to it Tuesday night, whenever I do I'll report back. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078W5566S/?tag=sce0f-20

While not an electric clutch I just put a left hand rear brake on and it's still too early to tell but I'm hoping I can fan it like I do a clutch to help with wheelspin.

I have never heard them referred to as toys. Only half dirt, half trials bikes, which for that course seems like a pretty good idea. They don't have a ton of power, 25hp or something if memory serves, but again, hp didn't seem like the limiting factor there. If you watch his suspension move...

When I swapped forks on my EXR I noticed that that Ohlins gives much higher torque specs for how tight to tighten the triple clamp than Alta/WP does. Made me wonder if that's why these forks twist so easily.

Tried Shoei, Aria, favorite is definitely the Airoh though. It doesn't feel as comfy standing around, but on the trail the weight makes all of the difference. I run hot so something super vented like the Klim seems attractive but I don't want to go back to a heavy helmet.

I agree on white/red, I love the red subframe on my SM, considered for half a minute swapping it out with the EXR.

Wow, just saw this. I won't be available during the time it's running but still know a bunch of guys who participate if anyone needs contacts. Scheduling to have my knee fixed up soon so hopefully in the not to distance future I won't have to sit down so much when I ride.

Yep, I'm in SF, PM me if you're interested.

There is the 24 hours of Starvation Ridge in WA.

I have stock gearing, not sure about the other guys. You could try to find some correlation between our mpw(mile/watt, is that a thing?) and the diameter of our sprockets but sadly I think you would find a stronger correlation to the diameter of our waists.

I was in map 1 the whole ride trying to conserve energy as this was my first real off-road ride in over a year. Ended up sitting over 70% of the time, not my usual style but got me through to the end.

It'll happen, it's so easy to do there is no reason not to unless they just aren't selling the SM's. Although who knows, I put my SM up on craigslist for $8500 and didn't get any bites, less than that and I figured I'll just hang on to it so maybe there really isn't much interest.

I thought they had a Bluetooth module that wasn't activated yet. Knowing they do not is deeply disappointing, unless they make a plug in module to make Bluetooth available to previous customers but I kind of doubt they would do that.

Yesterday Butch, Eric, and I conducted a highly scientific test of the range of our Alta's. We rode the same trails, at pretty much the same pace, for the same distance. When we were done I had just under 1/4 charge left on my EXR, Eric had just over 1/4 charge on his EX, and Butch had half of...

I just picked up an LED H4 bulb, will have to install it later this week and see how the beam looks.

I have ktm handguard mounts that replace the bar mount top clamps and they fit perfectly.
