If FEMA had the bicycles, would it fund Hustler's manlet bib?

What I gathered from some of your previous posts is that you thought spending discretionary income on bicycles for purely recreational purposes, had no point. In fact I believe there was more than one rant as such.
Thus, when you voluntarily chose to ride a bicycle for fun and fitness and presumably be social with others, it made me laugh. Imagine that you had so much fun that you thought it warranted a trail specific rear tire. Then maybe a different shaped handlebar, so you know, you could have more fun. The very thought!

I resisted a full-suspension bike for so long. Then I got one. Now when I get on a hard tail it's just that, rear jarring that reduces traction and smooth pedaling. While some trails it makes sense I don't ride those much and or use a road bike. What I want is an affordable sub 25lb medium travel full suspension bike. I'd like to ride what you've shown there and try the combo of long travel front hardtail with 650 wheels. I've actually never ridden a 29 or 650 yet - boo to me

Just saw 1x11 for first time today. Pretty cool idea, with sophisticated rear derailer for chain control and 10-40 or so cassette. I was expecting a 11-34 with standard components and just removing extra chainrings.

I need some expanding bar end plugs.
I keep having the plastic ones that came with the bar tape falling out.
suggestions?
Thinking ebay ones, but im not sure if they work
