Show off your Mountain Bike!!!

Coming home with me next week, my first ever full suspension bike, Norco Fluid 7.2. I also have a pair of inexpensive Gravity hard tails I got from Bikesdirect to get back into mountain biking with my youngest son about 5 years ago and a Gravity (bikesdirect as well) fully rigid single speed as well.

Pretty good video! also, nice first bike!

 

Giant trance advanced

 

^^ Nice f*cking bikes^^

 

Would anyone be interested in a couple Rocky Mount Clutch SDs? $100 for the pair. A week old.

I liked these so much I'm getting a full rack system from RM rather than just fork mounts.

QR/ 9mm axles only (normal dropouts)

 

Update on the chameleon frame up build I bought off a buddy.

Came with older mrp loop 130 fork and Chris king headset.

Have since added:
-thomson post
-wtb saddle
-renthal split stem
-slx cranks,
-wolftooth 32 tooth single chainring
-slx 10 speed cassette
-slx shifter and rear derailleur
-weinmann wheelset off new Raleigh Tokul (until my stans/hopes come in)

I have on order the following: -race face atlas stealth 13mm rise bars
-maxxis ardents 27.5x2.25

Ordering brakes and flats this week and hopefully riding next week.

 

Got rid of the Avids and upgraded to XT disc brakes tonight. Can't wait until tomorrow afternoons ride.

 

Can't decide between slx and xt brakes for the build.

 

i recently went with XT and only did because I think they were actually cheaper, or at least almost the same price as the SLX. they are very similar brakes so, a lot of people use SLX out here cause they are usually cheaper. i'd get ice tech rotors too.

i guess one point is that I got last years model XT which may be why they were cheaper. not sure if they are still available since this year's model are already on sale on some sites.

 

I went XT M785s because they were cheaper and better. Amazon had them at $87, last I looked $102 with free shipping, still cheaper.

Whoops I was wrong Amazon has the SLXs at $80

Sticking with the old Avid rotors for now.

So I picked up this two days ago... 2016 Pivot Mach 6 carbon w/ 1x XT groupset

 

Man! That looks too nice to ride!

 

Haha, thanks! I try and ride it as much as I can, which isn't that often these days. I'm hoping with some nice fall weather around the corner and can get some use out of it!

 

You Fers are killing me with these nice new bikes!

Great night riding with the new XT brakes until my rear hub froze.

 

I also did the ice tech pads with the cooling fins with the rotors when I upgraded my SLX setup. Well worth the coin, much better than the stock SLX pads/rotors

 

uh oh that doesn't sound good. froze as in its now a fixie?

yeah the rotors and pads are a must. pretty big selling point for XT/XTR brakes IMO

 

Damn new bikes are sick. Well done folks.

I am one month of bike ownership and I missed maybe five days of riding. It so much more joy doing it on a new bike. Tubeless tires are my new MVP. Zero flats so far!
And disc brakes. Sheesh. Nice and silent.

Just got it back from my free tune up. Time to buy more bike tools.

 

You people and your ability to ride.... I'm just jelly. Couple more months before I can start riding again..

 

I haven't ridden because I've had so much rain. Then as soon as everything was dry, boom double ear infection. But I shouldn't be complaining considering your situation.
