When I go out for long rides, I take my backpack! Because I need +1 liter of water, because I need food, because I need 1st aid kit, because I need tools and spare tubes and spare hangar, because I need to carry extra clothes. In so many years ridding, in this short rides, flats are present, but normally (like +95,7%), it doesn’t occur! And you are so close to the car/home, that you can walk/run back, no problem! Yes, I can get a flat… a technical problem… etc… but thing is, short rides are bellow 2hours, so why I would carry all the stuff, if I can walk back home / car? I’m not a millennial! I use bottle cage and nothing more on short rides. Today’s trend is to ditch backpacks in favor of whip bags, and frame/secret spots “bags”. yeah, I do use it “occasionally” on the trail… like… rarely/or never. The only thing I can imagine stanching something in the steer tube, it would be food, due to ease of access. That is like that, until we place some rational thinking into the situation.ġ- How many times will you use on the trail?Ģ- Is it ok to place weight so high and close to the front axle?ģ- Why do we thought about placing it on the steer tube? Tools so easily accessible sounds like an excellent idea, right? I could be wrong, but it has that potential, surely? There wasnt much consistency, and if you give that freedom to MTB manufacturers, you could have fork compression bolt standards that look kinda like the insane amount of rear axle sizes, ones that only cater to certain tools. Fitbikeco for example used (last I checked) a smaller alloy bolt (like an M10 thread) whereas other brands would use a bolt that was the size of the internal diameter of the forks. If you've ever tried to find a compression bolt for a BMX fork that is more than a year or two old, you'll know it's a bit of a minefield, and a lot of companies dont sell them aftermarket, and brands arent always cross compatible. Granted, it's not something youd be replacing all the time unless you have hands like feet. It'd give manufacturers another thing to change every couple of years/months/minutes and if it rounds out, you'll be going to a shop and hoping that they have the right one, as opposed to the star nut which is universal. If the Bontrager BITS tool was as slick to deploy as the Specialized it would be my I think it would lead to a bunch of new standards if they went down the same route as BMX forks. Personally I don't want to thread the steerer on the test bikes I ride, so I most often use the Specialized SWAT tool, but the number of times I've missed having a couple of the Allen keys I need on it is starting to add up. It is 42g heavier and $30 more expensive than the EDC tool, but install is simple and doesn't require threading your steerer. Plus it's fairly light and you don't have to thread your steerer.īontrager's new BITS comes is fairly easy to use as well, and has a wider range of Allen keys than the SWAT tool, which are useful on certain dropper levers, pinch bolts, and other fasteners that seem to always rattle loose at the most inconvenient time. The Specialized SWAT tool has the fewest Allen keys and features, but it's the easiest to install and by far the easiest to use. OneUp was one of the first to the game, and their tool works great, but it would be nice to see a version that doesn't require a special stem or threaded steerer. You do have to thread your steerer tube, though, which is a dealbreaker for some riders. The OneUp is the most full-featured, lightest, and least expensive out of the three, with a wide assortment of Allen keys, a tire lever, chainring bolt, and the ability to adapt it to hold a spare CO2 or whatever you can fit in the tiny storage container. ![]() ![]() ![]() This model will also accept most FR-99 / AR-12 style mags and drums.

The show was immensely popular in its first two seasons, capturing more than a 10-point Nielsen rating in the third and fourth seasons, ratings faltered as the Wayans brothers fell out with the Fox network's leadership over creative control and rights.

In Living Color portrayed a form of irreverent Black humor in a time when mainstream American tastes regarding Black comedy on television had been set by inoffensive family-friendly shows such as The Cosby Show, causing an eventual feud for control between Fox executives and the Wayans. It also refers to the fact that most of the show's cast was Black, unlike other sketch comedy shows such as Saturday Night Live, whose casts were mostly White at the time. The title of the series was inspired by the NBC announcement of broadcasts being presented " in living color" during the 1960s, prior to mainstream color television. The show was produced by Ivory Way Productions in association with 20th Television and was taped at stage 7 at the Fox Television Center on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, California.

While Arizona technically has two time zones, you’re not likely to have to worry about checking your watch unless you’re traveling to the far northeast corner of the state. Not being in the same time zone as the neighboring states can sometimes be inconvenient for road trips across state lines, but luckily with today’s technology most phones, and even cars will make the change automatically for you. The majority of Arizonans would agree not having to change the clocks twice a year is a nice perk! The argument for observing daylight-saving time is that it gives workers more light in the evenings and less light in the mornings through the spring and summer.Īrizona’s legislature decided that since the state has much more sunny days and overall daylight than other states, that we didn’t need an extra hour of sunlight in the hot summer months. In the 1960s, a bill was put forth in Arizona that would keep the state’s clocks on the same time year-round. Why Does Arizona Not Follow Daylight-saving Time? ![]() You’ll also find the looming mountain formation known as Shiprock, and many charming small towns full of hospitable people. ![]() If you think you’ll never have reason to visit the Navajo Nation, think again! The world-famous Monument Valley is located here, as well as the beautiful and sacred Canyon de Chelly. What is even more interesting is that there is a different Native American reservation that is situated inside the Navajo Nation the Hopi reservation (also in red in the map above) is surrounded on all sides by the Navajo reservation, and they do NOT adhere to daylight-saving time! This means if you were to drive from one side of the Navajo reservation, through the Hopi reservation, and back into Navajo land, you would change time zones several times in less than 100 miles! The reservation area is huge (over 27,400 square miles) and because parts of it reach into neighboring states that do observe daylight saving time, the decision was made in 1968 to stick to the time change. The Navajo Reservation near the Four Corners region has chosen to adhere to daylight-saving time like the rest of the country (with the exception of the rest of Arizona and the state of Hawaii). Why Does the Navajo Nation Follow Daylight-saving Time? From the second Sunday in March until the first Sunday in November, the Navajo Nation’s clocks are set an hour ahead of the rest of the state (for example, if it is noon in Phoenix, then it is 1 pm on the Navajo reservation). ![]() The vast majority of Arizona is in the Mountain Time Zone and remains on Mountain Standard Time for the duration of the year. So, does this mean that Arizona has two time zones? Technically, yes! While the rest of the country “springs forward” or “falls back”, Arizona’s time zone stays consistent throughout the year, except for one area of the state: the Navajo Nation reservation in the northeast corner (in yellow in the map above), near New Mexico. Ask any Arizonan during the usual time switch in March and November and you’ll be likely to hear us brag about how our state is superior to all others for this one reason! The southwestern desert state of Arizona (with the red color in the map above) is one of two in the whole country that have chosen NOT to adopt daylight-saving time. Yes, Arizona can have two time zones depending on the period of the year: The Mountain Standard Time (MST) used by most of the state, and the Daylight Saving Time (DST) used by the Navajo Nation inside of Arizona.
