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

It really is, made me feel like I was doing some calculus haha. Solid choice though, mine is awesome!

 

I have a 180 on my sentinel, and Im sold. My Stache has a KS Lev and its days are numbered.

Now if only I had a second set of hydras. My stache engagement is so coarse to pedal now.

 

So...everything around me is drying up and becoming very loose and dusty. Took a good spill and tore up my left arm pretty good. Bike's good and the rest of my body is fine. Just some scrapes and bruises. Good reminder to remember dry/loose conditions are just as problematic and to always wear a helmet and at least some knee guards. At least for my kind of riding. Stay safe out there everyone and keep that rubber side down.

 

That was a long time time ago. I think it was actually Golden Hill or McCarty.

 

Bike hauling at it's finest

 

I’ll be swapping my 150 Transfer for a 175 as soon as Fox makes them available to order

 

3 years ago I posted this on Facebook lol

"How to tell you are a beginner mountain biker: you choose trails nobody else seems to be on and it ends up being complete hell."

 

Any real world experiences comparing OneUp vs PNW droppers?

Same question regarding their cockpit setups, stem/bars? And yes, I know that the PNW is 31.8 alloy and the OneUp is 35mm carbon.

 

Not considering Fox Transfer?

EDIT: actually, if anyone is interested, I'll be selling a 150mm Fox Transfer Factory Kashima 31.6. Availible first week of June.

 

Not opposed to Fox. More of a price point thing.

OneUp/PNW being roughly $100 less is appealing. Does the transfer bring any performance advantage?

 

I've heard good things about both those brands. I've only had experience with Reverbs and Transfers. Reverbs were all crap, problems with every single one. But I have had four of the Tranfers and they have all been great. I'm only selling mine to get a longer one.

 

I have zero reason to replace the reverb I’ve got. It’s given me no issues. I’m just realizing every piece of my new build has been hand selected except the dropper/saddle. Might as well get it 100% to my preference.

Similar motive for possibly swapping the bar/stem. Nothing wrong with them, just that their color scheme isn’t my favorite on the new frame.

 

Frame still on track to arrive tomorrow?

 

Referencing the Tiger-X talk; funny you mention that. I read that article a few weeks and ago and also proceeded to order a pair ha. I feel like a giant toolbag wearing them (too endurobro/big for me) but the clear lenses are great for wet conditions and the dark lenses awesome for the golden hour runs when staring at the sun

I also believe glasses are like roof top tents. All made in the same place with just different decals

 

There's a certain truth to that

 

Never used PNW, but plenty of experience with Oneup posts. Have three of them now (150/170/210). Quality has been great, however... The V1 posts had an issue with the collar bushing causing too much friction, which led to less than full extension once it had a few months on it. Oneup are amazing with customer service though, and they shipped me a new bushing in a couple of days. No issue since then.
Once post had some friction issues with the upper collar seal, which again was fixed in a couple of days by sending me a whole new cartridge.
They do require the occasional lube, which is a simple procedure that takes all of 5 minutes.
One of the most amazing things to me is that they are so incredibly short and height adjustable. I'm currently running the 210 shimmed to 200 on a medium frame Spartan, and I'm barely 5'8". That much drop is crazy impressive.
That said the new V2 has been flawless, and feels super silky. Price point is a no-brainer, and replacement cartridges are cheap if the time come to replace it.

 

Love the Oneup just for the stack height. I wanted a Fox Transfer, but being more compact for the travel AND cheaper made it an easy decision.

 

The V2 has been great, it got slow at one point at the end of the summer, I cleaned it and lubed it and it’s good as new. Lubing doesn’t require any tools either. Super easy
