    I've taken 5 minutes to make multiple yahoo emails just to get new 20% codes.

    It's only $5, but it's a small bonus.. Thanks,

    These E-bikes are outta control! :D

    Pulled a Brexit and left my Austrian 390 at the dealer. This Triumph is the bike I wish I bought from the start.

    New bike day, and a proper gin and tonic to celebrate!

    as much as I hate to admit it, I spend too much money at backcountry and getting 12% back would be a nice touch haha

    I've always been curious about Alchemy bikes. I really want a 120-130MM bike but I'm having a hard time justifying it since my Stache can handle all the riding around me...I am tentatively planning on doing a 100M mountain bike race and feel like the stache is going to feel super heavy after 50 miles...

    So check this goober out.

    I think I’ll just stand my ground. Just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I didn’t really want to send the 3% bc of what it said in the ad, but maybe he meant F&F, Venmo, CashApp or something to that nature.

    if buying another bike right now I only want the Orbea Rise H30.

    I’ll probably convert my Arrival to 130 when they release the links. It sounds expensive, but it’s not terrible for this bike anyways.

    130 and 150 links will use same shock, while the 170 link will use a different one.

    I bought a $100 DPS new take off from someone to fit my frame and found this deal on a fork the other day and jumped on it.

    Why I dislike buying and selling. Honestly PB is the best place for selling MTB stuff. The guys there are generally ready to buy.

    When rockshox released that new damper some of these companies took it serious about getting rid of old stock.

    I was mad I didn’t buy both the 170 Lyrik Ultimate as well for the same price I just paid for the Pike. Yes it’s a lot of money, but heck of a deal.

    haha sometimes deals need to be taken advantage of, although I'd have a harder time buying a 170 fork since I have no need for that other than to flip it haha, atleast with a pike I could use it or flip i

    I could run both, the Lyrik would probably be an easy sell because on forums and such a lot of people weren’t happy about the discontinued 170 length for the lighter riders.

    I'm selling my 2022 Pivot Trail 429 Enduro. It's a Large. Pro XT/XTR build with Reynolds carbon wheels plus OneUp carbon bars and a XTR shifter. Super clean. I only have it listed locally for now, but figured I'd throw it up here, too. Anyone interested can contact me here or through the KSL.com listing. You can see all the details here: https://classifieds.ksl.com/listing/68687990

    I demo'd an Arktos when I was shopping for my last bike a few years ago. Not too surprising given the suspension design, but it rides just like a Yeti in my opinion.

    I've gotten a few rides on the new Lyrik now and rode the old one just before (exact same travel, spec, etc.). I think the small bump is just as good on the old Lyrik, but the mid-stroke support is definitely better on the new Lyrik. It's not worlds better but it's noticeable to me.

    These are still great deals on the old Rock Shox stuff, just figured I'd share my experience riding both versions back to back. The green color on the new fork though!
