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

I bought this as a cross country race machine

But in all seriousness, it'll probably used more for things like this:

From the top belt! Well played Sire.

 

@honda50r is ‘kinda’ familiar with Windrock





#sarcasm

 

Just clicked on his profile haha! Absolute gem of a place, big fan of the trails around Knoxville too.

Was planning on heading your way to check out Jarrod's Place here pretty soon.

 

I think the confusion here is.... what qualifies as midwest?
You definitely seem east coast. lol

 

I live in Indiana if that helps ya

 

I've got family in Beech Grove, my geography naming stinks.
I'd have never thought that was Mid-West, Mid-East maybe lol.

edit:

 

I know, it makes no sense. Most people consider Ohio and Indiana as part of the Mid-West and they're well into the eastern half of the US. Hell I've heard some crazy folks refer to West Virginia as "Mid-West"...

 

I learned a while back that Ohio was on eastern time and that blew my mind. for some reason, I always thought itw as central.

 

That would be sick! I’ve always been a fan of the fuel and imagine the new changes will only make it better

 

What's Windrock?

I've hosted a number of Indiana folks - including this badass old man that flies his private plane down just to ride sometimes lol
Holler if ever you ever want the grand tour around here, we know all the best trails (even on maps)

 

Invite this guy to Windrock when you go. He’s a great leader to us non regulars!

I haven’t been since May 2021

 

A nice variety of tacos at the trailhead yesterday

 

Finished building my Sentinel V2 from the frame up and got the first rides in today. It's long, slack and fast. Need to put a lot more miles to get used to it but I'm loving how hard this thing charges downhill and how easy it pedals compared to my last bike-- a GT sanction pro (27.5)





(Brand new)
Medium Alloy 2022 Transition Sentinel
160mm Rockshox Lyrik Ultimate Charger 2.1 RC2
Shimano XT derailleur

(My old parts)
Full 11 speed XT drivetrain
Spank wheelset (203/180 rotors) on Maxxis tires (DHF/High Roller II)
Shimano ZEE brakes
Raceface bars/stem/cranks

Currently waiting on a Pnw dropper post (old line was too short so I've been running it manually with a quick release and don't have a remote mounted.

 

I've got a PNW 170 that’s brand new off of my arrival I need to sell.

The plan was to keep it in case another bike came up, but if it’s exactly what you’re after lol.

 

I already ordered mine but appreciate it anyway. I'm wanting 180 so I went with the 200 and plan to run it at 180

 

There are some that divide the west up in to pieces, such as Intermountain West or Region, to make it more confusing

 

So I added some good rear triangle damage to the ridewrap, possible the carbon. Idk glanced at it and kept going when it happened.

What have you guys used on top of scraped ridewrap to somewhat “fix” it. I’m thinking this.

Super Tough Clear Repair Clear Duct Tape 1.88-in x 20 Yard(S) https://www.lowes.com/pd/3M-RT-1-88-in-x-20-yd-Clear-Duct-Tape/1002093440

 

how bad is the damage? is it a crash replacement time?
you can always ask ridewrap for replacement pieces. they charge like 10 bucks for an entire order i think? You can get several pieces on a single order.

 

Nothing close to a crash replacement, just trying to protect the frame and cut out the bad spots...
I don't want to remove the wrap and redo it, PITA to put it on when it was brand new, couldn't imagine doing it again now that it's dirty and scratched.
