Show off your Mountain Bike!!!

Wow I like that go pro mount alot, I want to make something like that....

 

was that the carbon frame too? cause used for 2900 it better be haha i think i saw where the aluminum one was right at 2900-3100 somewhere. but yea the carbon frames were around 5800!

 

I am not sure if it was carbon or not. The bike was BADDDDD AZZZZZ!!!! I think I am going to give downhill a try this year.

 

Check out Diablo Mt Bike park or Mt Creek Mt bike park in Vernon , NJ on youtube it looks like a decent ride.

 

i will and its a hell of a lot closer than BC... which is on my top list of things to do before i get old and decrepit haha. but yea that is one sick bike! id give a left nut to ride something like that.

 

One of the guys at the local jumps told me diablo was good, i think they changed it up since they changed the name to mt creek. jpneely, snowshoe is supposed to be really good too. The same guy who like went around the country said snowshoe was one of his favorite. I don't remember what other parks he went to but i know he said he had been to whistler.

Beech mountain is in NC so its also closer to south carolina. Nationals were there last year so its got to be decent haha

 

yea i forgot those mountains turned to bike parks post ski season. it just kind of sucks cause the past few years i cant leave my immediate area from around April until October because of work. that always knocks those parks out of the question.

 

ah that does suck. thats like the bike season

 

yea tell me about it. hopefully ill get a new job that isnt 7 days a week and i can actually go bike somewhere during the summer.

 

Went riding out at Capitol Forest today. It was a little on the muddy side but still a blast.

 

Anybody have a set of wide black bars for a 31.8 stem? I'm looking for 700mm wide with a 30-40mm rise. I have a white set of FSA Gravity bars I'll trade...

 

finally got her all set up, tuned, and ready to ride.




my first ride on clipless was around the block. I only fell over once and it was in my front yard...haha Im sure there will be more once I hit the trails.

 

very nice, looks like a solid bike

 

i like the matte paint jobs. for some reason shiny just doesnt appeal to me. but apparently im weird.

 

Same bike I just bought the bike with upgraded components and bars and brakes. I like it alot, first FS coming from a hard tail was a nice change.

 

You will love the FS. I like my hardtail for some trails but when it gets rough a FS is just the way to go.

 

Oh yeah I love the FS I have had it out probably 2 or 3 times on decent trails. I do like it alot. My rear suspension is adjustable with 3 levels of travel. The front shock is of course lockout option as well. SO its whatever I want the bike to be and shift on the fly.

 

Did my first ride on trails clipped in this past weekend. Started out doing some moderate trails to get used to the idea. Had no issues, pedals worked great. Still much apprehension of certain situations using them on more technical trails. It limits my riding for now due to feeling less free to cut up because I don't wanna crash because of being locked into the pedals and needing that split second save or toe dab to keep things moving. Just have to think ahead about things until they become more 2nd nature. These are much easier to get in and out of than the ones on the road bike.

 

I really like the brakes on this bike. The front rotor is a 203mm! haha

I was hoping to hit up a night ride on my stumpy sunday night but the bike shop still had it to bleed the brakes and air up my fork so I ended up riding the hardtail again... I feel like the stumpy is light years better than my hardrock. Its lighter, FS, better compenents. I cant freakin wait to hit the trails with it.

 

Im really diggin the matte on this bike as well. I may paint the wheels at some point though, I'm not sure how I feel about the red.
