Show off your Mountain Bike!!!

I'm also running xr4 team issue front and rear. They leak very slowly but it could also be cause of old stans. I had conti trail king and mountain king on my last bike before I sold it and they held air great. Both on the same bontrager duster/rhythm wheels with stans rim strips

 

That's the other plus side of this BB. The threaded pipe keeps moisture from getting to the backside of the bearings.

 

Update from last post upgraded a few things on my Pitch Sport
- Forte Carbon Fiber Flat Bar
- Black Label Billet Aluminum Pedals
- Magnesium Seat Post
- Specialized Carbon Fiber Saddle


This one is from a trip I took awhile back. Did Whitetop Station VA to Todd NC. Also referred to as the southern portion of the VA Creeper Trail.

 

2008 Iron Horse 6 point DW Link. Started life as a 44 pound DH bike, as it is today it is a 30.5 pound freeride bike!

stripped the paint and did a matte clear coat, converted to 650B carbon wheels, upgraded drivetrain (1x10 setup with a 42T large cog on the rear),
gravity dropper seat post, air fork and air coil shock, etc...

 

heck yeah, I still ride my 2006 ironhorse sunday

 

another amateurish question, I've been looking at a new helmet and keep seeing MIPS so I kinda understand what it is but it seems like it might get annoying wile you ride? anyone have a preference either way?

 

Only time you should ever notice it is first when you pay the price difference for a MIPS helmet, and second if you crash and possibly suffer less brain trauma than you could have otherwise. It's a thin sheet of plastic that allows the helmet to slip upon impact instead of transferring that rotational force to your head. There should be no impact to the feel of it, or to the ventilation of the helmet. Always good to look out for your brain.

 

Just picked up a Giro Chronicles with the MIPS. Im liking it so far! A big upgrade from a full face helmet since I do a lot of climbing now too. doesnt fee annoying at all. Probably worth the little extra money to protect your dome.

 

I ride with a GIRO chronicle MIPS and find it very comfortable. I feel like it takes the pressure points away and the extra safety is nice.

 

I've been using the giro savant for rode and light XC riding. I've never had any issue with it. MIPS seems to be trickling down to cheaper helmets too.

 

Not me. Not my mountain bike. But wow. https://youtu.be/iK9P6y_Zjfs

 

Pretty sure that's Horse Theif Bench in Fruita

 

Yeah it is. I've never been anywhere near there.

 

Jesus, and I thought that trail was hard to ride down.....

 

Me flipping a step down a couple months ago

 

No such thing as a step down. It's just called a gap

 

New to me, Giant 26 full susp that I think I got a good deal

 

Currently living in Durango Co, Few weeks age a buddy and I drove up to Moab caught a shuttle for Whole Enchilada. If you have some technical ability I highly recommend this ride. It was a true epic day. 30 miles of trail and all most all of it challenging.

And the views are not half bad....

 

Nice!! Did that ride this summer on our way to CO for my big ride trip up there....

Side note, I saw your truck in Tucson at the Pachanga back in October. Never realized you rode as well.

 

Yeah, I rode a bunch in college then you know how it is when you can afford motorized toys, then got back in to it 3 years ago. The bike has kept me sane on this work assignment in Durango.
