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

Nice tacky dirt this morning on some fairly fresh cut local trails.

 

New suspension upgrades made the bike park extremely more fun to ride!

 

I camped in the bed of my Taco this weekend and did a lot of trail riding!

That looks like so much fun, is it mostly down hill?

 

Half downhill, half uphill.

 

Sunday funday at Mtn Creek bike park. Felt great not having to peddle much

 

Nice! I have a season pass there. We’ll have to shred sometime

 

How do you like the Ripmo? I'm not really in the market for a new bike, but I'm always looking and the Ripmo AF/V2 looks pretty interesting. Probably bigger than I need for 2/3 of my riding. Do you get it in much tight, punchy, pedally terrain?

 

Have you personally run a coil? It sounds like you may be going off things you hear on the internet, thus talking out the ol' ass.

Cane Creek with a Progressive spring is extremely easy to set up and blows any air shock out of the water.

 

Really none of your points are valid. But granted if you are building a bike just so it doesn't look like a Wal-Mart bike than your reason is different for riding is different from mine anyways

 

Did 15 miles this past weekend in Flagstaff!

 

Trailforks just took a page out of the Strava handbook:

https://www.pinkbike.com/news/introducing-trailforks-pro.html

Basically the free version still gives you a 38x38 home area of trails free, 2.99/mo to have all the features you currently have.

 

So if we keep using the free version we lose features?

They’re not adding features and charging for those, but taking some away and charging to get them back. I’ll read the article

 

Basically, yes. Same as when Strava went to a pay model a few months ago.

 

I see, and after reading article I get it and agree. Someone somewhere is paying these employees.

I think Stravas $5 a month is silly since I don’t see myself ever using premium features.

Trailforks being less than $20 a year if you sign up now is cheap, I tried MTB project just to see how I like it. I want the map to be simpler without all the elevation. Trailforks is a clean design.

 

Yeah, I have no problem supporting Trailforks, esp 1/3-1/2 of what I pay for Strava (I like seeing my time data points, etc)

 

Didn’t really want to go down that pigeon hole but, YEP!

 

I don't have a problem with taht pricing. Especially the early adopter pricing. I'm fine with trailforks adding a paid tier. I use it so heavily and it's so reliable taht it's amazing it was free.

 

Thanks for the heads up. Went ahead and updated to pro with the early adopter fee.

 

Is Trailforks that much better than MTB Project? I haven't used Trailforks much
