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

CX Season is here in the East, got a nice MTB ride in this am at SMBA Daniels Rd, then off to set the course for Nomad CX tomorrow am. Four nice laps on a fast course and one for the Strava segment… Pic is supposed to be my younger daughter Lilly but I missed her.
Can’t ride bikes all day if you don’t start first thing in the am!

 

I’m in the market for a bike, I’ve ridden many and can’t come to a conclusion. Ideas around Ibis, Yeti, and Pivot. I rode a Switchblade the other day and it rode very well, I’ve ridden the new trailcat and it was even more poppy, Ripmo felt heavy comparatively, and still haven’t been a Yeti. I’m in Utah so I see mountain riding to slick rock. Help! Any thoughts?

 

My wife and I both ride Ibis (Ripley, not Ripmo) so the choice is obvious. Seriously, all three you mentioned are good choices so buy based on the shop you like, both sales and service. A good fitting with stem/saddle/bar swaps, parts discount, and warranty support are really useful.

 

Favorite shoes thus far. Especially the clipless ones cause they have 2 boas

 

Late summer maintenance..

I use my taco to bring water back here
