All Things Bikes and Tacos! (...and every vehicle imaginable)

Nice truck and bike.

 

I dropped a new video on my youtube channel @LiveWayOut and finally have a gimbal! Check it out, I am ripping a Specialized Enduro. Who rides park? I will be riding Summit a ton this year, some Mammoth, and Deer Valley - lets link up -Garrett

Also if you want some free LiveWayOut stickers like the one on my bars, send me a private message!

How tall are you? 5010 was on my shortlist in 2016 when I bought my last bike. I really liked how well it climbed, and how nimble and playful it was. However on the more serious chunky or technical stuff it definitely felt twitchy and less forgiving if you pick your lines badly. I ended up going with a bronson, 150mm F/R and while it lost on the cimbing compared to the 5010 I felt much more confident at speed, as I often like to just smash rather than pick precise surgical lines.

If you're tall enough for a 29er I'd give the HTLT a serious look. Also Pivot has some really nice bikes, and I'd be super tempted to look at a Yeti (5 and custom LR it out with a 160 fork or a 5.5 if you want 29er).

 

cool jamis!

 

Thanks! I built that bike myself. Bought the frame, then stripped all the parts off my old Rocky Mountain ETSX, then converted it to a 1x9. It’s light and super fun to ride.

 

Yeah...it's a tool keg by Fabric. It uses the same mounting system as Fabric's cage-less water bottle.
I keep some of my EDC stuff in there...the stuff that a) I don't need get to very often and b) is light. I keep the keg light because when I had my toolkit in there, it kept flying off.

Hope that helps!

 

Thanks for the detail. I got a frame bag made for my Bronson. That way I can still fit a water bottle. Awesome to just ride for 20 miles with nothing on your body.

Ignore the camelbak. This one was a super exposed techy ride.

 

I just have to rant real quick.

I’ve been fighting off low ball offers on the Remedy the last 2+ weeks. Finally got a good buyer. Sold it today. And literally as of today both bikes I was considering (yt jeffsy and canyon spectral) are both sold out until July. Un fucking believable. Both have been in stock literally every day until today.

I like your bike. I don't have that money, but I'll offer a trade. Can I give you a pair of cutoff jeans and some beef jerky?

I also have a PS1 with Siphon Filter and Crash Bandicoot if you like that better...

If you want cash, I have 12 dollars and some pogs. Best I can do.

 

Got any cool Slammers for those pogs?

 

I have been toying with the idea of swapping it to a WTB but I'm honestly not sure how to pick something that will be better than stock.

 

Does anyone crash? I crashed and mangled my wheel up today but came away unscathed. Very Bad line choice through a water crossing.....


....

 

I usually ride very well.......crashed 3 dam times last Sunday and sprained the shit out of my right thumb on the 3rd one. Still hurts like hell and I’m hoping at this point it’s no more than a sprain............my thumb feels like your wheel

 

Hope it feels better man!

 

I appreciate it....I’ll be good. Nothing a little tape and time to heal won’t fix. The weather just got nice for me to ride. There’s no way this is keeping me down!!!

 

Normal for 28 spoke specialized front wheels. Sucks man

 

I cracked my finger bones before crashing. Took over 6 months to heal.

 

It’ll buff out
