You should go to Watkins...

 

You should go to Ft Morgan

 

I don't even know where that is. I'm going to plug my ears and run around yelling Watkins and there's nothing you can do about it (besides join me at Watkins).

 

That remedy is sweet. Have some fun with it, I rode one down PBR in fruita and it was a blast.

 

Thanks guys. I've been dreaming about getting a mountain bike since I started college. Only took me ~3.5 years.

Anyone been up through idaho springs in the past day or two? Is there a lot of snow on the ground? My room mates and I are trying to find a decent trail

 

are the Bilstein 5100 Shocks any good for use in the rear?

 

I am running them and have been for a long time. They will be coming off in a few weeks though.

 

Why are you getting rid of them?

 

Upgrading

 

I'm pretty sure that's what I have in the rear. No issues so far.

 

I do! My KTM is still in MA for the time being. My Dad owns a trucking company and is gonna throw it in the front of his trailer next time he is headed out west. He was just here for Christmas but he had 8 Maserati's and could not fit it. Thanks for the invite, I cant wait to get out and ride. I have not rode since before my deployment.

 

I am running the 5110's with the EXPOS and shackle flip. They have veen great so far and since they are a Tundra shock have better valving.

 

Did you have to change anything to get them on?

 

Just got back from Dakota Ridge. Muddy and snowy in the shade, but the gnarly downhill sections were pretty dry. We would only have to walk on some of the steep uphills.

 

Did you have any vibration issues when you first put the expos on?

 

No. They are designed for 4+ inches of lift in the rear.

No. There has always been a small shutter upon take off under hard acceleration. I just don't worry about it.

 

Nice, Dakota is dope, one of my favorite in the area. Did you loop it with Red Rocks?

 

Sweet! Looks great! Well done Chris.
