Show off your Mountain Bike!!!

Give me opinions! Got these 3 options in my price range at local bike shops for new. Please don’t recommend something else just tell me between these 3. Thanks!

The stumpjumper I can get for 2500 out the door the other 2 are the price listed but add tax on it.

 

Have you gotten to ride them? In my opinion there is nothing that sets each apart from the other. Components are almost identical. The Kona And Specialized have solid reputations. Idk much about the Norco fluid but I’m sure it’s solid too. I’d ride them and see what feels best. Even if it’s just in the parking lot. If that doesn’t help then I’d pick whichever color you like best haha.

 

I did ride the stumpjumper but the others weren’t available for riding. I loved the way it felt and the guy at the shop took me all around some stuff to get a great feel for it.

 

Has anyone used Pro Wheel Builder? I'm looking for have a new wheelset made.

 

Can’t go wrong with the spec!

 

Good, because I bought it haha.

2400 out the door with free tubeless setup, 2 year free service, lifetime frame warranty, 2 T-shirt’s and a hat haha!

 

Good to see you took the budget up. You’ll be set for a while now. You guys ever make it over to Coldwater area? Been thinking of making the drive myself.

 

Not yet but really need to.

tax return helped me set a budget haha

 

Sounds like a solid deal!

 

Might be heading over there tmr AM if y’all have any interest.

 

I’ll be working tomorrow but gonna hit some local trails after.

 

Oh man just finished up my first ride on this bike and all I can say is wow! I’m still out of shape so the uphill was still hard but way easier than with my other bike and then the downhill was an absolute blast. I plowed through things I never would have before and went faster than I ever have as well. What an awesome ride. Gotta keep riding to get in better shape and learn more techniques and hopefully one day start leaving the ground with both wheels.

 

Good on ya. Love that new bike feeling. Keep getting out there.

I cracked my frame at chewacla today

 

Dang! Pretty intense place?

 

Overall, not really. But it has some hairy stuff. It’s honestly got a great place for all skill levels. I just made a bad decision/line choice on a man made/natural feature.

The place has tons of mileage to be had and would be a great weekend camping/riding spot. Especially being right in Auburn, plenty of good food and entertainment when not riding.

 

Sounds like something needs to be planned! Hate you cracked your frame though

 

I do need to get some new pedals on this bike. Recommendations?

 

Are they full metal? I thought the ones he had on his Kona today he said were plastic..

 

He said they’re a composite material...that they are the stamp1. How are his composite but yours are metal lol
