Show off your Mountain Bike!!!

yeah i like the magenta haha but in the long run i would probably get tired of it, stealth looks sick too though

i agree thats its closer to a DH bike than an XC bike where the bronson is closer to XC than DH. not saying the bronson is XC, just that its better for pedaling. the nomad seems like a bike to just bomb stuff with haha

 

I feel like the people who bought fully optioned Bronsons that ended up wanting more slack geo after hitting the trails just got kicked in the nuts today LOL.

I had seen the spy pics of the prototype last year and that's specifically why I held off on looking into a Bronson build. Glad I waited!

Here's a comparison pic I made of the 2nd gen and new 3rd gen Nomad:



Wayyy more slack for dat asssss haha. Should be another home run like the previous gen Nomads.

 

Giant Yukon FX, I like it but only for riding rough trails. Messed up my gears not too long ago too, so in one of my shorter gears the chain slips every time ERRRRR! I didn't do a ton of research before I bought this bike and now I'm pretty sure I want to go hardtail.

 

I just had a buddy report back from Moab about his new blinged out carbon Bronson. He had been riding a older nomad. It took him a while to get used to Bronson, but he loves it! I really like mine, got it last April Fools, and this short guy is done with 29erz, 27.5 is perfect for everything. Yeah, but that Nomad would make a sweet "lift serve" bike for me, might have to get one for Whistler trip next year when they do aluminum.

anyway here is my Bronson chilling in VT. Also ride a SC Tallboy & Highball.


me on bike vacation in Red River New Mexico.

Very nice! I don't think I've seen a Canfield before.

 

Any of yall from virginia I am getting transfered from miami to cape cod planing on driving. I am going to drive up the mountains on my way and camp and bike along my route. My first stop is brevard NC but Im thinking second stop somewhere in VA Anyone got any recomendations for good trails with campgrounds nearby. I would clasify myself as an allmountain rider I like jumps and drops but there not 100% necesary just lookin for good trails. will be riding with my dad and bro any help would be much appreciated

 

Drive through harrisonburg. Check out Shenandoah mountain touring, they just purchased a pretty big campground with miles of trails nearby that you could either ride on the road to or drive and park at the trailhead. Not many jumps but more technical riding. Ridge lines, long downhills, good climbs. I will say this, if you decide to stop through you will have some fun. Check out Shenandoah bicycle company too, they are awesome and my go to shop. If you have either of them a call they would probably be able to give you more details than i can haha

 

Thanks so much man gonna check out all the stuff you said

 

No problem here are ozone links if you want more info

Nice preciate it

 

Mines just a $130.00 bike to cruz on. I'd love to have me a $500 bike but this is just for towing the 2 year old around camp grounds n shit.

 

I have a Trek 6500 (blue) and my wife has a Trek 6000.



Later.

 

I can't wait to run some shuttle laps with my Taco

 

Anyone have recommendations for a decent 2-bike rack for a hatchback ('07 Honda Fit [Sport trim if that matters])? I'd prefer not to spend over 150 bucks, I've browsed Amazon but nothing seems to stand out. Not sure what to avoid or what good/bad characteristics I should be looking out for. Thanks.

 

Honestly....I would save up fora hitch&rack or a roof rack. The trunk racks are a pitb to get on and off not to mention securing your bike so it's not swinging.

I am saving for a hitch rack for my bike. As of right now, I always opt for taking the front wheel off and slipping it in the back of my civic rather than dealing with the trunk racks.

And most trunk racks will work w/a hatch. A spoiler may be an issue though.

 

I jumped on the bandwagon

 

sick, i rode XX1 today, it was surprisingly nice. super quick shifting and not loud like i was used to with sram. still dont like there brakes but whatever haha



to go with that i rode the new slash 9 today and it is sick.i heard that there is a reason for there not being kashima rear on the new slash 9 either but the trek guy didnt go into detail haha

 

I have xx1 on my sb66c and I absolutely love it.. quick shifts, quiet and clean..

 

And my new DH bike!!!
