I miss the Hoosiers that I ran exclusively on the race car. Amazing tires. I really wanted to get Hoosiers on the GT4 but I don't want to trailer the car which I'd have to if I ran Hoosiers.WillyDaP wrote: Fri Aug 02, 2024 2:52 am Some fat little Hoosiers should be at my house on Saturday!!
I took the car for a quick 100 mi drive with friends this morning and I really like it. The matte finish on the stock display seemed dim to me and this "brightens" it up - or it's a placebo effect. Anyway, I like it and yes - easy and high impact/$ ratio.Treemagnet wrote: Wed Jul 31, 2024 12:37 pm
Installed one on our '17 BS. Liked it so much I had one waiting when our '22 BGTS was delivered. Absolutely one of the easiest and best bang for the buck mods available.
Even in my mtn bike races, a dropped water bottle can be a curse but at least there is a better ability to run it over and survive.Treemagnet wrote: Wed Jul 31, 2024 1:48 pm My injuries weren't that severe, but my carbon fiber frame was DOA with a silver dollar sized hole in the downtube. That frame now hangs from the garage ceiling over our BGTS as a constant reminder of why I stopped doing event road rides....to many newbies, with to few clues.
Another reason I'm all trail these days. Cars don't magically appear, rocks don't throw bottles, and trees don't move. Now, if only the skunks, poisonous snakes, and spiders hiked elsewhere, it would be one big happy playground.Pachanga718 wrote: Fri Aug 02, 2024 3:36 pmEven in my mtn bike races, a dropped water bottle can be a curse but at least there is a better ability to run it over and survive.Treemagnet wrote: Wed Jul 31, 2024 1:48 pm My injuries weren't that severe, but my carbon fiber frame was DOA with a silver dollar sized hole in the downtube.

I used to do Thursday night crit style rides around the Rose Bowl when I lived in LA - there were a bad crashes at 30 mph. That and the ozone made me stick to the trails and racing DH at Big Bear.
