How do you like that fezzari? Haven't heard much about them but its all been good

 

sexy bike^

 

replaced my stock rear tire after i tore a sidewall, went with a maxxis ardent 2.25,overall it felt like a solid tire, i noticed like 3 or so other bikes were rockin ardents, it seems to be the choice tire around here, i hope it will last against rocks. the front tire will need replacing soon, it looks like some of the knobs are about to tear off probably gonna go with a high roller

btw that downhill section is a lot steeper in person haha

 

Where is this? I'm headed to Fountainhead tomorrow. Hope I'm not getting in over my head...

 

this is at the end of the blue loop, its called old shock a billy, you dont have to do that part if you dont want to, i think its actually a little bit longer if you take the old route. i think fountainhead its a great place to train. its not super technical and its provides a solid workout. i did the whole loop today which i think is close to 11 miles...i forgot to start strava for a bit so i only recorded 8.7 haha

if your ever trying to ride hit me up, im always down to ride with people

 

Me & a buddy are heading up there around 9:30 or 10. I've never been there & just getting back on a bike after being off for a couple years after a nasty car accident. I'm sure it's going to kick my ass.

 

nice well glad your back on a bike. itll feel good though haha. im guessing you havent been there since the redesign then?

 

I've never been there. Just started mtbing. Raced bmx for years, but the car accident ended that. Just happy to be alive & able to ride.

 

oh gotcha, well thatll probably help though itll be sweet, fountainhead was one of the first trails i had ridden

 

I've ridden Wakefield a couple times on my old hardtail. Just bought a fs bike & love it.

 

havnt posted on here in awhile and made some big changes, after racing Downhill on Specialized bikes for almost 6 years i made two big switches...left the FSR for VPP and leaving DH racing for Enduro & Super D racing just got this bad boy a few weeks ago!!! Intense Cycles hooked it up big time! I honestly recomend anyone who hasnt yet to try a 650b bike im amazed! Already crushed all the local strava times on it even on the DH trails rides damn like a DH bike going down and climbs better than my old Stumpy Evo! the 27.5 wheels definitely haul ass too!!! Couldnt be more stoked on it haha

 

^ Sweet bike

 

I love the Fuzz ball, lol! A lot of my riding buddies told me to spend the money on a well known used bike, but im glad I didnt. I love how Fezzari sets up the bike for each rider. You dont get that at a local shop w/o buying extra parts. Plus a comparable new bike would run over a grand more for any other brand. I did a lot of research before I made the choice. IMO all the negative you hear about Fezzaris is just people not knowing the brand. I been riding the wheels off it for over a year w/o a tune up, just routine maint. and its been holding up like no other. No problems to speak of as of yet. Plus their bikes come with a life time frame warranty and decent parts list.

 

A good shop will, within reason, swap components to get you properly fitted and comfortable on your new ride. Clearly, you're not gonna get XTR to replace LX but if the shop can swap like for like, most good shops will. If you do want upgraded goodies, you may get credit by swapping.

 

nice well have fun man!

sick bike! i was just looking at the tracer 2 on jenson usa. i really want to try 27.5 i think thats the way im gonna go for my do everything bike, XC, Enduro and DH/park bike because i dont want to spend money on all 3 haha

 

Fountainhead was a blast. But I am so beat. We did 2 laps on the green loop with a 1/2 hour break in between. That place will make you realize how out of shape you are. I need to ride more.

 

I had to pay for upgraded parts that I wanted, but they installed them for free, as I hope any shop would do if you bought a bike from them. I meant like different size parts. They put the appropriate length cranks, stem, cut the seat post, and bars. They have you give all your body measurements, rider positioning and riding style. They build and set the bike up for you 100%.

 

Norco DJ bike

 

Or the Fuel 9.8. I have since added 1/2 foam pipe insulation because I baby the carbon frame....
