$100 Shimano M6100 Deore Brakes.
Shimano Deore BL-M6100 Brakes Set For Sale (pinkbike.com)
This is an extra set I have in my garage. Somebody buy them. They aren't fancy new brakes but they work very well, very strong, and ultra reliable

 

210 mm shimmed to 200

 

I am also considering the Pike but not loving the silver that REI has. For my Tallboy I am kinda split on going Lyrik or Pike for 140mm travel setup.

 

The black Pike Ultimate was still in stock when I ordered, but only in 140mm. I wanted 130mm, but like you didn’t want silver for my current bike. I’m likely going to pick up a 130 airshaft.

 

This is my second Troy, I had a ‘14 GX and the carbon seat stay cracked in October of ‘20. Devinci held true to their word on the lifetime warranty for the carbon and sent me the black ‘20 GX Carbon/Aluminum frame and LTD components which got me the 160 Lyric. They also let me move from a L to an XL in the process. This is an amazing bike for my local terrain, I can’t say enough good things about Devinci! Initially I was looking at a Bronson, but the shop I was at steered me towards the Troy. Between the Troy and my Paradox most of my needs are covered, but I wouldn’t mind getting a big enduro bike for the rowdy descent days.

 

I have the shotgun seat w/ the mini handle bar attachment, so it wasn't as big a concern but what about a Pool noodle? Or if you aren't into the neon colors you could try some pipe insulation( it's the same thing just pre-cut to fit onto pipes)

 

I can't even find the brand of this one, but we got it when my daughter turned 1 and she has been using it non stop for 2 years.
She has a strider and just got a pedal bike, but still wants this one.

 

Holy sheet man!
Had to do it. Don’t even need em, but damn. Can’t pass that up.

 

I had the exact same thought

 

That was a big part of getting the yt and not waiting to see what SC was going to do, but damn I still love the tallboy

 

No experience w/ the oneup, but the PNW has been very solid for me, and prefer it over my Transfer dropper and the Postman(SDG)

 

I have been looking at a brake upgrade but hadn’t pulled the trigger yet. My Guide T were adequate for most of my riding. I couldn’t pass this up, this is a steal.

With the way my luck has been going the last 2 weeks though they will run out of inventory at the order just before mine.

 

I love mine, they’re great. If I can ever find a discounted T4 like I did with the T2’s I’ll jump on them.

You guys getting the A4’s will be happy to know they come with 2 sets of pads each.

 

is from Hayes or only from CRC?

 

You make a good point, I'm not sure. I figured all were packaged like that.

 

I think they come that way from Hayes. I thought they listed two sets of pads on their website but I don't see it now.

 

Shameless plug.

Make me some reasonable offers, ready to move these parts.

We made a quick trip to to Jarrods Place in NW GA this past weekend. We were there for ~2.5 days, but really only got 1 good day of riding in due to weather and timing. The only park I can compare it to is Kanuga; the difficulty of Jarrods scales a bit harder - the trails can be rougher, faster and a ton more jumps. The shuttle ran non-stop for us through out the day and the trails were in fantastic shape. Theres plenty of signage so it didnt take long to learn the pathing to get from parking lot to shuttle/climb to the top. Its in a nice part of Georgia IMO, and there are plenty of restaurants/stores within 15-20 minutes. There aren't any other trails nearby to my knowledge, so if you want a day away from a bike park its going to be ~1-2 hour drive.

 

It's a very cool and fun place.
Service is dismal with Verizon, so keep that in mind.
I've only been once and about a year ago now. It's fun, but shuttle only goes halfway up and the tech trails when I went you still had to go up.
