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

2019 alloy patrol gx drive train, fox suspension, reverb dropper, stans wheels, code rsc brakes, their in house bars and stems

 

You can't go selling your current bike and then complain about new bike prices! lol

 

Whoa, I can complain, but not much is gonna happen unfortunately.

 

Wife and I are taking advantage of parental leave right now and also rode crest yesterday (Monday). It's really beautiful out there right now and perfect weather/conditions.

Today we rode the Dutch hollow area. Never been over there before, but it's really good flowy XC trails. Highly recommend!

What group was that posted in?

 

Pathetic Mountain Bikers

 

Gotta be the gnar couch boys with those comments. I'll bet the commenter was Jimmy Sniper, Cheef of Staph, or Alec Jordan. They love trolling Bentonville these days.

 

Barrel in Dutch Hollow was pretty fun as I remember.

 

I’m posting these Bc I think they’re funny.

I’d like to go, but at 8-9 hours of driving I’d rather go elsewhere. I’d be cool to go during winter since like Alabama they’re not too affected by snow while everywhere else is shut down

Apparently Jaxson Riddle had a bit of a crash in SLC this weekend. Wind caused a huck so flat and so deep he did a full front flip from the rebound, and Red Bull went yanking it off everyone's page for a while

 

That frame is not alright... I need to see the damage.

Actually wouldn't surprise me if frame is unharmed, though I'd want someone to check it.

 

You know its a big hit when your kneepads kiss the ground (or looks like it anyways)

 

I should have known. They've really been hating on Bentonville lately in that group.

It may not have a lot of elevation, but I personally love that place.

 

So Trust suspension closed last year, and it looks like Specialized quietly bought their IP package...

Now this. Linkage fork arms race pending?

Looks like they do have a fork in development just not a funky one.

 

am i misunderstanding how the fork works?

when it hits something, the front wheel axle goes up and forward? not back?

the old trust forks went back didnt they?

 

Me just looking at the pics, I'd assume that.

The only observation I can make is when the suspension is compressed wheelbase shortens, if they have the leverage correct they may push the wheel forward at a rate that maintains the same wheelbase the entire time. It will be interesting to see how it handles big hits if that's the case, or nose bonks.

 

I have no idea. I just saw that article on pinkbike and the owner said that was a prototype from 2016.

 

BTW, I’ve taken it out of the box and wrapper, but this thing was still in plastic when I got it. Not the box, but the derailleur. Checked teeth, screws, etc. nothing has been touched or mounted.

solid deal from gear trade / backcountry
