All Things Bikes and Tacos! (...and every vehicle imaginable)

She ain’t the best but she’s mine. Added on a 2021 Fox Transfer 175mm and a Oneup carbon bar. Maybe if the the world isn’t due to end in 2020 I’ll order myself some new wheels with Hydra hubs.

I'm about 215 and I actually run my fox 36 160 at 80-85 psi, depending on terrain. I like the squishier ride and I put in two tokens to prevent bottom out on big hits. I tried a third token, but it made the end stroke too harsh for my liking.

Just to share one Clydesdales experience as you begin your journey to big man fork nirvana.

Trying to get down to your big man size.

running sucks major ass.

 

running IS the worst.

 

Facts.

 

Rad man! I love the hightower. I bought the aluminum version and at 35lbs, it's definitely a unit pedaling uphill (and literally 1/4 my weight) but it's a great climber!

I almost went with a 2020 stumpy too! The HT has been crushing it so far but I'm just a beginner rider. I'm more into the climbs than the downhills, lol.

 

More into climbs than downhills?? Get out of here with that nonsense!

 

Man if you saw my calves, it would make sense...

I actually had my first riding day with the HT at Big Bear and was given a complete misconception of what mountain biking is

 

Where’d you order the transfer from? I ordered from Jenson in May and still no word....

 

Maybe it’s in transfer.

 

Get out of here Dad

 

Tee hee...

 

I got it from World Wide Cyclery two days after I ordered it!

 

@Bannerman is going to lose his mind

 

Love that color scheme from the chameleons!

The HT isn’t the ideal steed for the ups, but it’ll get it done. And with more smiles on the downs.

I actually enjoy the pedal up side of life as well. One of few around here...

 

UMMMMMM WHAT!?!?! said no mtb rider ever... What are you a masochist!?













only joking

 

I am not pleased.

 

Have I mentioned how much I like my Transfer?

 

To me it’s pretty damn stable. Also the only bike stand I’ve worked with though. Only thing is with some modern bike that have a wider frame design, you’ll most likely have to clamp it to your seat post. My gravel bike frame wouldn’t really “sit right” in the clamp. I’m sure I can retrofit something to allow a wider clamp b it ah ent really looked at it that much.

It is a nice feature but at first felt a little awkward reaching under the bike to where it’s at. I’m sure I’ll get used to it.

Haha that’s asking for trouble! Unless you have the heavy duty one. With bikes 25-35lbs though it does it’s job well.
