That trail looks super fun.
it is a blast, the biggest thing that kicks my but right now is the roots, those pics don’t even begin to show how bad it is.

Yeah, looks like a cool place to ride. Well worth persevering. Congrats on the progress so far. What handle is that? It looks really neat
Thanks. it’s part of an aero bar I picked up from the LBS. I made the mount base from flat plate with pipe welded so I can bolt the handle to it. it was curved upward and I used a press and carefully flattened it out mostly, then flipped it over to get the right angle. I think I’m going to really like it

Nice job!
I think your stand is a little overkill!!
Looks like a nice sunny day for a ride

My first Muni Ride in this year. I love the Kris Holm Knee pads they don’t slipe down by the Pedaling on your 29"

Looks like it’s time to touch them pads up.
Clean the surface with some rubbing alcohol and cover with some gorilla tape… good as new (and replaceable).
I don’t use my KH pads anymore but I bet they’re more gorilla tape than anything else.
I rode the MTB trails again Friday, here are a couple more pics showing some of the more challenging roots I’m dealing with. I did manage to get through it this time with a few less UPD’s but the biggest thing was not one of them caused me to have to get up off the ground

To follow up on the above, also signs of spring on today’s ride.
No on the path shots, just this after I completed a decent 10 mile stretch after a big gap of riding my G26er.
Good weather helps a ton!

Those yellow pedals are really tasteful on a blue KH!
I wondered if you have compared the moment cranks with the spirit ones, is it easier to shift on the moment cranks?

The Kh Dual spirits are not so good for shifing i think, because of the foam of the crank. The Moment cranks are straight and it’s directly to the food oh no fet/toe or hand to shift it. The Dual Spirit is a lottle bit heavier to reach the shift botten with for feet or hand.
Gear Shift Success on the G26
—With a flying tumble around a 100 meters after the first shift up 
… but undeterred I got back on and shifted up again, and held it for a long stretch until I gracefully dismounted.
“If you’re not falling, you’re probably not trying” ~ Kris Holm’s quote, felt very apt today.

And this is how the day started and ended, photo showing post schlumpf, post nursery

Went MUNIing for the first time, it was so much fun! A fat tire gripping on whatever terrain you throw to it and have you firmly holded is such a great feeling.
I’m too new to it, still need more skills to fully explore the fun here (e.g. I can’t hop on obstacles), but definitely will come again soon!
