Montrail Streak Trail Running Shoe - Women's

July 14, 2008

I ran a hard 50 mile trail race in these shoes and they were awesome!Great support,stable, great traction, sticky/grippy, good protection underfoot, lightweight, kept my feet pretty cool.My only gripe is the tongue, it's really thick/bulky and I'm not sure why it needs to be. I like more of a sleeve-type, but oh well.Everything else is right on. I've worn many different shoes and I've found with the Montrails, they all fit a bit different.Some are narrower, like the new Hurricane Ridge XCR---I wore the older ones for years and loved them but can't fit into the new one. They are shorter, VERY narrow, but my foot is petite/narrow. The old ones had a much wider platform and toebox. The Streak is great for a narrow foot but still has a roomy toebox. I also like that they are pretty low-profile. I tried the Hardrock and it was just way too much shoe for me. As for Salomons, I've worn the older models and the Streak has a similar fit, narrow but with a roomy toebox. Good luck

If you can not find the non lifter version then it is totally possible to mount this binding without the included lifter plates. Just keep in mind that the included screws will need to be shortened or otherwise you will dimple the base of your ski by drilling too far. I mounted the Look PX 14 Ti Lifter Legend Wide Alpine Ski Bindings (sans lifters) on my K2 Pontoons two years ago and have had no problems. You need to bend the brakes to fit around the 130mm waist width. I actually prefer the lowered, next to ski, feeling. It is definitely the way to roll on super wide skis.

*Edit*
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Sorry to rain on your parade, but mountain cranksets are designed for 9 speed chains. A 10 speed chain (what you need for the cassette) is too small to work on these chainrings.

For an authoritative answer, just take a look at Shimano's product specs. This crankset is designed for 9 speed cassettes, not 10 speed.

http://bike.shimano.com/publish/content/global_cycle/en/us/index/products/mountain/xtr/product.-code-FC-M970.-type-fc_mountain.html

You'll need a Shimano 10-speed road crankset, or a SRAM Red/Force/Rival crankset to work with a 10 speed cassette.

Answer to: "Do these protect against snakes?"

Outdoor Research Verglas Gaiter - Women's

June 26, 2008

They will serve as some protection, but they are not made for snake protection

No non-venomous snake (in North America) has teeth any where near long enough to get through this material. The only (only!) thing that would be of any concern would be very large pit vipers (read: big ol rattlers). Snakes that big are tremendously rare in the wild and, trust me, they do not want to tangle with you. Herpetologists that stomp into rattler country on purpose wear loose fitting long pants over regular ol hiking boots and carry a long stick. You are good to go!

The North Face Venture Jacket - Women's

June 26, 2008

the Resolve is slightly less expensive because of the material used. The Venture is more likely to keep you dry from the rain but also dry because it is made with the core venting material which will be more breatheable. For the difference in price. I would invest in the North Face Venture

Crank Brothers Mallet 1 Pedal

I think these would be perfect, not ridiculous at all, they are versatile SPD or Sneaker ready, perfect for cycloross.

Honestly I have no problem riding with the Candy pedals without my cleats. In addition to saving some cash, you'd also save 232 g (.5 lbs), which definitely worth considering because you're *saving money* to lose weight. How often does that happen?!

Volkl Bridge Alpine Ski

June 7, 2008

For bumps and groomers a 169 would be better. In powder the 177 will be better because it will help you float. It will also be better for skiing crud. Keep in mind that twin-tip are short for their length. A 177 will be more like a 170-172 non twin.

Yo for your size you should absolutely stay away from the 169. You'll over-turn that thing. I'm 5'9" and 135lbs and swear by the 185cm, mounted a bit back. This ski rips the piss out of every condition...as long as the snow is less than boot-top deep. It's a little skittery in deep snow. Mounted back really helps w/ all mountain performance as this ski is a bit stiff for true freestyle. Even w/ them mounted back a few cm, you can still rally around the mountain switch a-okay!

The pack has no adjust ability for torso,it can hold 50 lbs comfortably, and there is no frame in this pack.

in addition to the above answer, mine does have a metal bar running down the length of the spine. while i haven't tried bending it, i noticed it is possible to take the bar out and thought to myself that i could conceivably put a different bar in. if you put in a piece of aluminum, i can see it being possible to micro adjust the back frame to a particular user's back.
