Show off your Mountain Bike!!!

he has been known to ship wheels worldwide, he just got an order from a guy in iceland.

 

Not that I don't wanna ship, but if I'm out that way I like road trip around. If I'm not grassing out that way I may order some. I am gonna see if I can get a deal on a set from some local people. But I like his web site and how he charges only what the wheel costs. Seems to be a great guy for the sport! I like on the wheel questioner it says riding type: and has an option bash through like a wrecking ball. Hahah sounds about right.

 

picked this up yesterday, pretty pumped to hit the trails!

 

Looks like a fun HT. Now, if you get hooked you will be upgrading to a FS in no time.

 

haha yup, thats what happend to me.


I just ordered a drink mix for when I run/ride from infinite nutrition. I read tons of great reviews about them so I decided id give them a shot

Not really, I sold all my FS bikes and find a HT 29er now and still out ride most of my buddies with FS bikes on single track though. I have a buddy who races that rides a fixie hard tail and no front suspension and still rapes the hill

 

Here are a couple of my rides

 

Nice rides ya got there.

 

I've been XC/Trail riding for over 25 years. Been to all of the western MTB mecca's in Nor Cal, Oregon, Utah and Colorado. I attribute my current state of good health and slow aging to staying fit by bicycle. I hope to one day complete the Great Divide trail from Canada to Mexico... Probably after retirement

My go-to geared bike is this carbon Santa Cruz Tallboy

 

I know the opinions vary but would y'all recommend a 26 or 29er? I want to do anything from road to decent tails. And I'm thinking it will be a hard tail.

I'm 5'6ish" also.

 

From a few races over the last 2 years. Now go ride your bike!

 

I like the 29er's. it's gonna be hard to find hard tail 26 inch bikes soon.

 

I ride the same thing!! Df like it for tighter trails, but I'm def wanting to upgrade to a full suspension soon. But I def ride the shit out of mine. Have fun

 

i didn't even know what a 29er was when i was looking at bikes yesterday, guess it's the new/newer thing? didn't look right to me, wheels/tires looked to big, but i guess it is something i hadn't seen before so maybe it takes some getting used too. plus when i road one, the front tire rubbed on my shoe when i was doing a sharp turn. that was a lower end cannondale though, not sure if the expensive bikes are the same?

 

yea im betting they get phased out within a few years from everything ive read. with the 29er's coming on strong and now the 27.5 or 650b what its called.
Ive never ridden a 29er so I have no opinion on them yet though

 

Yeah I rode a Bronson 650b and liked it. But I sold all my high end bikes and just rock my trek 29er hard tail like I stole it. I love it.

Been riding mine for 2 years and haven't had a problem even on tight single track. But if your feet are in the wrong spot on the pedals and you have gigantic feet then it can happen on any bike. Clipless pedals will help.

 

Mukluk with 29x 3.0 tires. All other bikes cower in it's shadow.

 

So focues! Lightin' up a bit haha! Wish I could find some old pictures from races.

 

Yeah, the last picture makes it look like my eyes are about to pop out. The picture is from the middle of a really long rock garden that was taking out racers all weekend. You had to hit it really fast to maintain your line.

 

Yeah rock gardens don't feel very good when you crash on them...
