Alabama thread!

Looks really good

 

it's not difficult to ride it, what makes it difficult is where we ride it. do you mountain bike?

 

No I don’t.

 

ah, ok. yeah riding it is fine just normal or wherever, but mountain biking changes the game. being so used to a certain type of bike and then hopping over to another one that has all different components and equipment can really change the ride and feel. it basically changes everything you knew about the sport when you change bikes.

 

Same when racing BMX. Takes about 5-6 laps of the track to get used to a new bike.

What’s the difference in these two? I’m still doing a lot of reading to decide on which gear set to change. Pricing on both are within $10 of each other when ordering front and rear from ecgs vs the front and rear individual package from rogue off road. That’s without searching for any discounts.

 

Nothing against Rogue at all, but I'd suggest you call ECGS. This is all they do and they're really gonna be able to give you the most solid advice I think. Or Nitro up in Washington state too, they have been around for a long time.

 

Ecgs is just installing the new diff, the other you have to disassemble the third and reset up gears. Use ecgs their a good company I’ve used um before

 

Yeah I have a feeling I’m gonna fumble around like an idiot riding it today lol

 

Morning Bama! @baldridge @Brian422 @gixxerphil hope yall didn't freeze too bad last night. It was pretty cold, even for Alabama! Yall have safe travels home today.

 

'bout to leave work early and go SHRED SOME GNAR.

or better stated, gently learn how to ride my new mountain bike...

hope everyone is having a good Sunday!

 

Headstrong Offroad. Ordered mine and Marie (sales@headstrongoffroad.com) took off $100 (end result about $529) after I mentioned I was a member of Tacoma World. They have a link on the vendor page. Cheapest I have found anywhere although Amazon had a listing for $535 but didn't show shipping until March. I don't trust sites that don't have them in stock. Ordered from Headstong and they were here in 4 days. They are also their latest version not old stock.

 

Just spent several months researching them and sorting out the wheat from the chaff. Light Racing came out on top.

 

It was cold! Had some snow on ground where we camped. Also, was able to camp by a creek. Great meeting you and Brian. Would love to ride the rest of the trail sometime.

 

So is it like 8seconds horn blows and you bail? Lol

 

Yeah I though so also as well as all the reviews I read and videos I watched said spc was the top performer for adjustability and longer lasting. But someone mentioned most alignment shops don’t want to mess with them so said heck with it and went with jba.

 

Huh?

 

Like bull riding

 

Oh haha gotcha.

 

We should do the southern portion of the Traverse next time. We’ll bring Cooper with us and spend 2 nights this time! Great to meet you and your boy Bart!
