You forgot “Tennessee Orange”

 

My Firebird with X01 won't hop off pedaling backwards even on biggest cog. However, the 5010 with NX will hop off the biggest cog, but only the biggest cog when pedaling backwards.

I love the Meta style, I looked at their bikes a lot in the past.

 

If only I was east coast and not 6'1

 

Those are just semantics. You should buy it anyways

 

The Sram X01 11-speed cassette did this - no matter what - it was the tooth profile.
Sram 12-speed cassettes don't. Other brands of 11-speed cassette may not either.

Yeah. This'll happen. just check your tensions and maybe even your der cable tension. I haven't been able to solve this issue on my bikes at all. I just live with it becuase it's only on first gear.

 

Forgot to mention “paid $2500 new in 1999, so $2000 firm”

 

Gratz! that was one of the contenders for me when getting my new full squish. Love the colors, and the bike!

 

Knowledge folks, please see below link for a local bike company. Can anyone offer insight into that geometry? I have a sneaky suspicion these are rebranded frames but can't pinpoint their origin

Riders familiar with the rich heritage of Litespeed Bikes will be intrigued to know that the high-end titanium bike manufacturer has a new carbon fiber cousin—Ocoee Bikes. The new brand creates affordable carbon fiber bikes from frames molded in Asia that are then shipped to the company’s Chattanooga, Tennessee, home to be painted, spec’d with parts and assembled right alongside the rest of its American Bicycle Group family.

 

Somewhat reminds me of a Fezzari I saw the other day, not a common angle on the toptube.

 

Thanks man! Lighter than expected but haven't has a bike for 6 months and was thinking the whole time this was going to be a tank. Added some bronze to bike too. She's classy.

 

I cannot put my finger on it but they kinda remind me of Mondraker frames with the top tube but the linkages look like old Diamondbacks. Either way it looks like this company picked up a Taiwanese catalog and said "that one" and called in an order. This seems half ass and expensive for a no name brand. Maybe I am being too harsh.

 

my most favorite time of year to ride...no one out; trails are hard, and even better if snow covered!!! Hate the summer...hate the heat

 

Yeah but their mold is from somewhere and I can't pinpoint. I think someone's diamondback reference is on to something (the linkage is flipped)

Yeah definitely a catalog bike but there are a lot of folks doing it. Many of these are reliable suspension designs that just work. Clearly not the latest greatest but pedal just fine, especially with some thoughtful aftermarket additions.

I just don't understand why YT (in a regular non-pandemic-bike-shortage year) always struggles with supply.

 

I’m still saddened by this. Gotta buy some car wax or something to try and fix it. Gopro being shitty doesn’t make a case for the Max lens mod and their subscription thing will only fix camera itself not lenses.

happened at Windrock and ruined the film bc light would catch so well on the scratches.

 

Threw some new tires and an absolute oval on mine today
