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

Took my fiance on her first mountain biking trails this past weekend. She said "it was awesome!"

 

35mm...the happy medium. Not too much fork for the daily. Not at all undergunned for the steeps.

 

I've heard of Hentia, is that what this is?

 

Thats the bike my fiance rips! Just ride it like you stole it, itll be plenty of fun.

 

Also, the mens and womens versions both have the same exact geometry. Besides the seat i think they are identical

 

Pocahontas State Park?? Been a while since I've been there

 

Thats basically the case with every gender specific bike these days. Maybe they tweak the color, but there really isnt anything other than marketing between them.

 

I used to love that place. But like you, it's been a good while since I've been there

 

First ride with the Maxxis Aggressor on the rear yesterday was magical. Climbing felt so much easier.

 

I think it’s the best rear tire

 

Shit, even female specific bike companies make exact replicas of the parent company (like Juliana vs Santa Cruz). It's pretty much all branding.

 

Correct. Plus the bar is a little narrower as well. Maybe 30mm or so.

 

I bought my wife an XS 5010 for just that reason. Easier to sell as either gender will ride it. Not many dudes are man enough to pedal around on a tiny Juliana.

 

not gonna lie. The thing fits me perfect, and I love riding it. I just hate the color scheme. I’m more of a no color kind of guy. Give me a black bike and I’m happy.

 

and weird colors...

 

Juliana and Yeti/Beti were who I had in mind as I was writing that.

 

I’ve already admitted that I’m having a hard time with this. My buddy makes custom graphics (stickers in my volcab). He said we can cover anything I don’t like in vinyl in any color I want. So I may go with that option if getting the men’s version is going to take forever.

 

My wife also has that exact same tattoo on her arm.
