I'm a gaper like partyandbs so I would have assumed asking for a wheel to be trued would involve checking the tension on all spokes and tensioning if needed.

See from a shop perspective, not only does doing a quick check (a finger check takes like 30s) help with the whole liability side, but it gives you an opportunity to make more money, ("hey, you're spokes are fucked, we can fix it for an extra few bucks and make sure you're totally good to go"), or develop a better relationship with a customer ("hey, we noticed some other things going on with this wheel, here are some options from our shop and others to keep you safe on the trail").
 
Short edit from a short but sweet road trip through BC, hitting Revelstoke, Silverstar, SunPeaks, Kamlooops & Panorama.

Felt so good to be riding bike parks again, also felt like I was riding at a pretty high level, but without being reckless for once in my life, that was a good feeling. Me with the black and white Aurum and my buddy with the orange Maiden. Sick times!!

Hell yeah dude did you hit that gap before the Doomsday step up. I’m always more scared of that long gap than the actual booter

Killer price for two tires, but the endurance compound is awfully slippery for a front tire. I think you're east coast right? Your dirt is a hell of a lot more grippy than the sand we have out here, so maybe you'll like them, but I can't imagine running anything less than the enduro compound on the front

West. After the fact I realized I did a dumb. Didn't realize it was a trail casing. Might be scary on wet rocks.

TPC is going out of biz. Thought I would give these a try, tried to cancel but wouldn't let me.

I feel like they don’t mean it’s making you last longer. I feel like it’s supposed to mean a retardant from sperm entering the egg.

Sometimes I hate the world we live in. Why are companies trying to convince people they need benzocaine to have better sex.

What in the world does Benz have to do with sex? Isn't it an itch/ discomfort reliever? Am I just stupid.

Suggestions on cleaning sealant from clothes and bike frame/parts? It's on EVERYTHING except the rear shock. Fork stanchions, frame, pants, shirt, fullface, gloves, goggles, etc

Blew a front tire at on French Press at Snowmass and I got the full spray down. For a flow trail, I've had more pings/flats on that trail, than anything else. 10 years of riding tubeless, and I've never been sprayed like that. Wish I got a selfie. I looked like *that* scene from Scary Movie before it dried/soaked in!
 
Unfortunately you will be forever stained in a substance that appears to be jizz. Jokes aside hot water, soap, detergent and some elbow grease.

Yeah the squirrel catcher into the step up? You have to be going flat out to clear both of them!
