Show off your Mountain Bike!!!

Wow, how does that even happen?

I keep regular contact with a guy running a Hammer'd Yeti, and he's had nothing but good feedback to report even after a year later. I'll have to pick his brain on this topic...

 

Yeah I'm not trying to rain on your new products man, I like the Hammerschmidt myself and have thought about getting one. I'm just saying what happened to a friend of mine with his...twice. I will say, he is the only person I have seen this happen too. But, he is an ex-racer and very talented rider, with exceptional mechanic skills so it's not like he did something wrong with the cranks. Just very weird that it happened twice. He doesn't even understand why, just gave up on them after the second occurance...

He did say that they were hella sweet to ride though!

 

No not even, all good! In case something does go awry on this Hammer that's getting installed, I won't feel so bad since I paid almost less than half of full retail for just the crankset alone for the crank, bb, and shifter together lol.

 

Good, solid group of friends/family today...

for those familiar with SLO trails, this is at the top of West Cuesta Grade. Rode Shooters, Elevators, and Yukes today. Can be slammed in 15-20 mins if you're in it to win it, but we "cruised" it so was more like 35-40mins lol. I'm BEAT!




More Syndicate Santa Cruz bikes than "regular" Santa Cruz bikes today

I rode my "MAFIA" black and gold Nomad haha...I let my cousin ride my Syndicate(well, his old bike) V-10.

 

Went for a ride yesterday afternoon. Little loop in one of the local open space preserves. Nice views. Little up and down-and a good chance of seeing wildlife (including hikers and other riders).



Got a GoPro wireless remote. Charged everything up and dammit if the battery wasn't dead 10 shots into my ride. POS-well, to be fair it was probably my fault

 

One of my favorite SC colors!! Nice 'mad my friend!

 

Thanks!

 

Got my replacement wheel today. Its a Bontrager Rhythm Comp rim/hub. Anybody have any experience with them specifically the hub/freehub body? I'm guessing they will be better than the old duster rim/shimano hub

 

I have Bontragers on my old Zaskar. Noisy as hell. But otherwise, decent enough.

 

decent reviews on mtbr

 

Northstar was a hoot this weekend for PRO GRT lots of people up there to ride with, anyone else up there?

 

I live up here in Truckee and have been Downhill biking for a few years. Haven't been to Northstar yet this year but plan to soon hopefully. The mountain next to Northstar actually has some great riding so I've been going there since it's free haha

 

yeah we were gona go ride over "across the street" from N* sunday but we were all shot from racing and doing 30+ runs in two days so we left sunday insted

 

Ya gotcha I always try to do another run but I'm beat haha next time!

 

yah you gota go! such a blast the trails off zypher lift are all super flowy like livewire and boondocks and shit, while the ones off vista lift are the gnarlier ones

 

Ya I've only done the ones off Zephyr because Vista was closed last year. I love livewire though! Hopefully I can just get a day pass pretty soon here

 

The Bontrager Race Lites with DT Swiss hubs, I have on my bike are not loud at all

 

Hung my bike in my garage today. Stood there for 10 minutes and just starred. Its....its so beautiful. Also road 60 miles this week, I feel pretty good about that!

 

Nice looking ride and way to hang it up!

 

The ride



the first camping trip with both rides
