    The guys at four wheeler magazine really push bubba ropes. Probably sponsored.

    I personally never owned one.

    I bought the ARB one. It's half the price of the bubba rope. So far it fits perfectly in my recovery box but that's all the experience I have with it. Turns out not many people are getting stuck at the malls these days.

    Karate Monkey ordered, Fox 34 Factory Series ordered, and a few more misc. goodies ordered. Sounds like we'll be going for a ride soon

    Let's do it!! Why didn't you go Fox 38 though? That would make the most sense for a hardtail. :rofl:

    Any of you guys see the drunk driver that crashed into a house in Marin last night, then when the homeowner took the keys out of the running car that was in gear the guy stole the homeowners keys to make a getaway, but ended up putting it in gear and crashing it into the house as well? Can't find a news article yet but CHP-Marin posted it on FB

    Did I say 34? I totally meant 38... :duh:

    Bike should be here this either Friday or Saturday, same with a few other things but I don't think I'll get the fork till next week. Guess that means it'll be a bumpy shakedown run

    Is it a complete bike or are you building it out yourself?

    I bought a complete bike just so I can ride it now. That being said, it's 11spd, 27.5+, and rigid.

    Plans are to add some suspension, make it 12spd, go 29er, add a dropper post, and upgrade the brakes. Right now, I'd rather ride it as I build it instead of plan this huge build that would take me a while to complete.

    Nice man. Sounds like it's going to be a great bike! I'm not sure I can ride a bike without a seatpost dropper on it these days. Even my gravel bike has one!

    The bike I've been riding (fixed gear) doesn't have a doesn't have one so maybe it won't be that bad...

    I'll likely get a Fox Transfer with Kashima coating to match the front shock but I hadn't really accounted for building a bike so I'll stick it out for now. I guess there's a new Transfer coming out so I'll be on the look out for that or a closeout on the one that's currently out.

    I put a Bike Yoke on my hardtail and I don't think I can ever go back to anything else. It's so GD good.

    I haven't ridden any Bike Yokes. Just KS (hated), PNW (liked) and Reverbs (liked).

    I'll have to check out Bike Yoke though

    I didn't know a dropper post could be so amazing until my buddy got one. I've had a Reverb, KS, and Crank Brothers way back in the day, and I had issues with all of them. I've got a 9.8 on my gravel bike that seems to be doing well so far. The Bike Yoke is far and away the best. It's super smooth and if it sags then you can reset it on the spot with a 4mm allen key. But they are beaucoup bucks unfortunately. I mean, not compared to an AXS one, but still.
