Show off your Mountain Bike!!!

I always air up before I ride. Hate for my tires to be low air and flimsy. Comes from growing up as a BMX racer.

 

Post canyon in hood river, Oregon

 

So I took the Remedy out last weekend, still trying to fall in love. It's brilliant at speed, can't argue with that, but just a bit awkward on climbs and the slower technical stuff. Not bad, just a bit awkward. And while it's got that extra cushion for those big hits, I tend to avoid the big stuff -- at my age, the price for failure is a long recovery at best and never riding again at worst, and I couldn't deal with that. I realized that it is just too much bike for 95% or more of the riding I actually do, and the riding I imagine I will do will probably never happen. And all this talk of the Fuel EX+ got me reminiscing . . . turns out I put more miles on my old Fuel EX+ than any other bike I have owned, and it handled the 5% that the Remedy is good at just fine. So, I ordered a new one. Lightly used Remedy will go up for sale on Pinkbike soon . . .

 

We don't need no stinkin mt bikes.................we need lots..................n + lots in play..............

 

Is that a Patrol? I have a 2016 Suppressor that I upgraded from 26" to 27.5" wheels.

 

sure is! 2016 Patrol. How you liking that Fox 36? I'm looking to upgrade my Yari this "off season"

 

I'm lovin it! It was a great upgrade compared to my 2008 Fox TALAS 26". Jenson USA had the 2018 Fox 36 floats on sale.

 

Jenson always has the deals! I picked up my new Shimano XT M8020 quad pistons from them. they way they had them priced I thought I was going to receive the M8000 or fakes ha!

I need to rent a bike that's outfitted with fox. rides seem to love the handling + grip in the rear and the suppleness up front . everyone I ride with is RockShox or Cane Creek so I can't jump on one of their bikes and feel her out :-(

 

How do you like the 4 vs 2 pot xts??

 

Loving them. My patrol came with deores so I can’t compare to previous XTs, but the braking confidence with the new 4 pots is fantastic!

I have shimano zees on my TR500 and these have a softer feels on the finger than the Zee, but stop on a dime!

 

Had to post my baby after seeing all these fine bikes on here. Built her up right before summer. A true Pacific Northwest shredder.

I has some lime green Oury lock-ons that would look great on that bike..............



I went back with black ones........green ones still basically new.

 

Sold my bike,sad to see it go but I’m ready for the snow to fall! Last pic I took from riding olallie

 

Yt jeffsy 29”? So I guess the next question is what are you buying for next summer?

 

Capra 27^,I’m getting another Capra but the pro race model instead of the al. Also getting a new or used DH bike soon for winter shuttle laps when I’m not on snow

 

My brother has had his release carbon for over a year now and he has not had a single problem with it. Spent most of the season at the bike park. Not sure why you say that about diamondbacks.

 

buy a $500 bike (no matter what brand) it's going to have shitty components on it, and it will fail at some point... likely early in it's life.

buy a $5,000 bike (no matter what brand) it's going to have great components on it, and it will also fail at some point... it will just take a very long time.

if you ride the $500 bike 3x a year, it's going to last a very long time.
if you ride the $5000 bike 50x a year, it's going to require preventative maintenance

a shitty bike is a shitty bike. Diamondback is a very big bike brand that makes bikes that work for anyone's wallet. you can't compare their pinto to someone else's Lambo.

 

Knolly Warden. Such a rad bike.

 

Carbon bars, ESI grips, XT brakes on the way. Now I just need my new bike to put them on . . . not really looking forward to it, though. That Control Freak routing is really nice, but not for running new brake lines.

 

Great photo
