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

New Transition dropped today! 120 all around 29er trail bike.

great, now to keep reminding myself i already have one new bike in the garage and dont need another....yet.

 

I’m really liking that bike. I’m excited for this XC pinkbike field trip

 

pretty disappointed in the 115, they didn't do any ground up designing. Just added a different shock and fork to "lunch ride" it. The new Spur from transition is what they should've done with the geo and all that.

anywho, here's a pic of my sb130. Got bike of the day on Vital a couple weeks ago! Built it up with rainbow xx1 AXS but switched to the new Copper 52T cassette when it came out, compliments the storm frame color so much better.

 

Totally agree about the 115, literally same frame as 100. Lazy.

I'm running the same coil on my 130!

 

Yeah that’s what I gathered too. I got excited about the 115 at first but I’m thinking the spur is the way to go. Looks like the spur and evil following, maybe the gg trail pistol are gonna be the closest competitors in that category. I feel like most of the others are more geared towards marathon racing

 

I was gonna say something but then got wrapped up in all the other photos and such in this thread haha. Sure is nice though, I haven't even found it's limit as far as needing a piggyback for more oil on longer descent either. Super happy with it, I asked yeti when I got it if linear or progressive springs were better and they said progressive. Which is funny because they spec so many of their bikes with Fox SLS springs (mainly because fox doesn't have a progressive spring I suppose)

 

I'm not sure my bike is cool enough to qualify for the Bike Check thread. My shit's clapped-out with mismatching parts lol

 

Mine got warm the other day coming down Bennett but not what I would qualify as hot. Makes me think it could get hot on a park day but so far so good.

 

then you get to fill out the "custom to you" section pretty sweetly!

 

yo dog, repost!

 

I didn't mean you had to delete it, was just giving you hell.

heck, I watched it again and loved it as much as the first time.

 

that’s pretty sweet!

 

Yeah, That black powder color is gorgeous.

 

I like the blue but i dont think id complain about either. maybe in a few weeks i can put the $ down on one once i sell some extra gear and a kidney.

 

I've got the ARB 2000. It's nice, but I wish I used it more/had more opportunities to use it. If I did more casual hanging out in places, it'd be great. I also have the luxury of living biking distance from a trail system so it doesn't fill the post-ride libations either.

I thought about getting an awning room for camping but it doesn't match my camping style. I like setting up base camps and unloading all my camping gear so I'm a little lighter for wheeling. I also like night wheeling a lot. Having to break this set up down and repack it all everytime I want to do something just wasn't for me.

That doesn't look like your everyday 120 bike. Looks much more fun and damn, sub-25 lbs is impressive.

 

We used to have an ARB (awning and room) on our van and it was fine. It was kind of a pain to set up/take down so we didn't use it as much as we thought we would. I know you're options are limited since it's going on a Cabrac, but I highly recommend a freestanding awning. They're much easier to deploy and thus you will get more use out of it.

 

Seconded AF!

 

Yeah, thats for the AXS version, but 26ish for the GX build is still pretty baller.
