MinggAhhhh I dont know. I have them on my Jessie's and they're sooo heavy for me. And since I'd be using these skis in mostly park I think I want something light. I also don't ski super hard so I think I can get away with like griffons or sth's or something.
Griffins are pretty heavy and difficult to stop into

Sth's are heavier than pivots, and i believe griffons are like 70 grams lighter than pivots, not really that noticable.
I dont think the bindings are the problem with them being too heavy lol

Are they really? wtf. Every review I've ever seen about pivots/fks say they're heavy and I personally think they're heavy as fuck. And then everything I've seen about like griffons, sth 12/13, and attack 13s are that they're light too.
Fuck this. It's 3am. I should not be making such an important life decision right now

Swandog7You're k2 park skis RIP at the end of the season?
Ehhh sort of. They've got some nice chucks of base missing and the edge might rip out soon, but I'd say they're still good for a beater ski. The bindings I had on them were ass, and they're way too stiff for me so I've been looking for something else for a while.

Aight. Chronics are pretty soft so you'll have some fun on em. Assuming you got 164s?
MinggYup! So a little bit bigger than my other skis but hopefully it's not too bad haha
Going up lengths is easier than you think, coming from me who went from a 148 to a 170 and 168 in 1 season. Its more or less the weight issue for me, maybe for you, idk but you don't really feel a thing after your first like 2 days riding them
wanted something for ripping around town, but a little more comfortable that a road bike or fixie. WAY quicker and more efficient in town than my Nomad And old Cannondale's are sweet. Next step is to swap the step and bars.
KravtZJetta was a great car...cheap reliable etc... got it for $2,000 bucks with 50,000 miles on it now have 150,000.
It was SO annoying that thing barely could hold anything in it and was so slow and under powered. Was either carry people or things and than hear others complain since the back seat was to small. None the less hoping to get $1500 for that thing htough
couldn't agree more with everything you mentioned haha. I don't doubt you can get 1500 for it. I sold both of mine fairly quickly and they were both beat to shit and had ~200k miles on em. first one I got 1800 and the second I got 1500. If it runs some VW nerd will buy it, guaranteed.

i'm all about this, do you mind if I ask how much you payed?
Cog, rear wheel, chainring and bolts, chain, chain whip and lockring tool, hub spacers, and a brake lever. Just need a few little things like bar tape, tubes, and a bit of brake cable and then my fixed gear conversion will be ready to build. Stoked
Been needing a new bike maintains stand for so long and found this on almost 60% sale so had to pick it up, not the best one but it seems pretty sturdy even on my heavy fs bike and for 50$ I'm very stoked on it.
First real/full susp bike, I know its not the greatest, but I'm hyped.
+ these cuz they kicked ass on my last bike.
and probably these tomorrow when I hopefully build it up.
The new stuff in the store is very tempting too...
Tickets and camping reservations for phish at SPAC! Got lawns but they were only $30 vs $100+ for pavillions so we settled for that, still gonna be awesome
STI catless up pipe so my turbo doesn't get hungry and eat the cat in my stock up pipe
and a Rola cargo roof basket with the extension and a cargo net. Gonna mount my cross bars through the cage so it sits flush with the roof instead of 4 or 5 inches above it.
(second picture is not my car, just same year/make/model to get an idea of fitment.)

How much was that roof basket? I'm looking for one, but they're all so expensive. Love your forester though. I love the boxy look of the older ones

That isn't my fozzy, even though I really wish mine was black. This is my forester.
I think the basket was 150 and the extension was another 50. So about $200 total. I was biased towards the Rola just because I think they are the best looking baskets on foresters. Even though they are prone to rust. I could have gotten a Yakima load warrior for the same price off promotive.
