    Dude that's awesome! Looks like a lot of fun flowy trails. Sad fact, I haven't ridden my mountain bike in 2 months :(

    I'm up for starting with buckhorn to captain jacks. Then see where the day takes us / how far we want to ride.

    Beers and grub at Manitou Brewing Company!

    Going 1x11 Xt if Santa delivers but how is the 30t with 42? My plan is to start with 30x40 then later get the one up 45 cog. Since we ride probably the same trails you would have the best advise. Thanks

    On a 29er, 30x42 is great for cruising climbs in the canyon without running out of gear going down.

    I'm thinking 650b with the 40 should equal a 29er with 42
