Show off your Mountain Bike!!!

Yeah for sure, and then you have people on CL selling basically stock Kona Stinkys for 2k haha, give me a break... Got such a steal of a deal on my carbon v10 still stoked about it haha.

 

I got my stumpy from pinkbike. Great deal and even had some upgrades that I was actually looking to do on my own. 1x10 FTW

 

Dude that was so freaking sweet

What do y'all think about this trek 4300 for 350$? Seems like it would be a good bike to break into the sport with.

 

I say go for it. It looks in good shape, has hydraulic disc brakes, if you don't know if you want to really get into it, but don't want the wallyworld special, it will be fine. Your first ride should be at long cane horse trail. Park at fell hunt camp. It is a shared trail, so just watch out for the four legged creatures. We did a group explore the trails ride up there, it was awesome.

 

Ya that's where I intend to start riding. I have run there a bit starting at the parking lot on FS rd 505. I think it would be a great bike to start on and if I get really into it I can upgrade later.

 

Has anybody tried out the RC tailgate pad? Just picked one up from Jensons this weekend. Only $37! Compared to $99 for a Thule or Dakine pad.

It's worth a try. I can tell you from experience that the Yakima pad does not work very well on a Tacoma. The seams where it naturally folds puts it either too high or too low on the gate. The center padded section where the headtube is supposed to nest is too stiff- I ended up cutting out the end bumper pads to get it to conform better.

 

anybody use Kali helmets?

I have an Amara. I am happy with the fit. Haven't really (knock wood) had to test it out yet

 

The New Whip 2013 Trek Superfly 100al

 

I switched to the Amara as well. I got it about 6 months ago. Very comfortable and I like that it has a go pro mount on top even though I don't have a go pro yet. Although it is comfortable I do wish it had a little more contact on the sides of my head. Front and back it is great.

 

Freakin' awesome. I test rode a Superfly 100 elite carbon and that bike climbed like a billy goat and was quick in the turns.

 

Congrats on the new ride!

 

friggin sweet

 

my bike as it is. new stan's no tubes arch ex with hope pro 2 hubs, red bbg bashguard, tubeless geax saguaros front and rear. It is now a 2x10, didn't have to spend a bunch of money on a conversion.

 

Hey living where you do, do you ride FATS a lot?

 

I ride it enough, but there are other shows in town besides FATS. I ride a local trail close to my house where that picture was taken. FATS is great and all, but there are other trails that have their own personality. Just saying.

 

I've never been there just hear a lot about it. What are some good bike shops in the Augusta/Aiken area. It's really about as close for me to come there as go to Gville or cola.

 

Thanks. She rides like a dream!
