Show off your Mountain Bike!!!

My Triton (in Russian) Ti 29er hardtail. Was meant to be a fun side piece but became my main squeeze. Not light, but all kinds of fun!

 

Is that a Fox Float 36 shock? That a beefy front end setup for a hardtail!

Your optimism is impressive!! Lol

 

Fox 36 Grip 2 set to 140. It’s awesome. This bike goes anywhere. 66* head tube and 483mm of reach. I sold my Knolly Warden 6 months ago and haven’t replaced it because this thing gets down so well.

 

My new Niner in the build process it’s a used frame that I got from my buddy Jake of Project 321 he is the owner and one cool dude. His company makes the best hubs for bikes I have ever ridden. This set of wheels will be my 5th please check them out Project 321.com Tell them J-money sent you! So this build is cane creek frame shock and fork, Thompson cockpit and dropper, sram 1x12 drive train with G2 brakes, Stainsnotubs MK3 with gold Project 321 hubs and spoke nipples, e13 rubber, and my favorite grips ever red monkey sports! Now they are made by wolf tooth. This is my 5th Niner and will be 3rd in current collection!

Had to relocate from Texas to VA due to the wife being in the navy. Fucking sad day. No black diamond trails remotely close.

 

VA beach area right?

 

Yea

 

Damn, yeah not a ton near there that I know of. Freedom park is in williamsburg, that’s supposed to be pretty sweet

 

She’s a DC on the USS Mason.

 

She’s on a underway right now or I’d ask her for ya. We actually don’t discuss navy stuff a whole lot since we like to just focus on each other and our lives whenever she gets back.

 

Yea in Texas I had to drive atleast an hour to any park. I was expecting to be closer here but opposite lol less trails and less black diamonds.

 

Yeah man that sucks. But you do have some amazing trails in western/central Virginia when you feel like driving haha

 

Luckily... the mason is so badass that she’s really really really safe lol. Like it would be hard to take that little fucker out honestly.

 

I hear ya man. It is crazy how small the destroyers are compared to others in the fleet.

 

She said they shot the 5”(I think) cannon/gun while out in the waters at some point and the recoil made the entire ship rock lol

 

I found a little mud today!

 

This was a rough ride for a 27.5+ MTB lol but there’s no parks near me so I’m just making due with what I got. Concrete is no fun tho

 

Went for a ride today. Ended up going a lot further than I planned due to trying a new trail and ending up nowhere near where I needed to be. It was supposed to be an easy ride since the rain prevented getting out the last couple of weeks. At least it was beautiful. Ended up riding 13 miles and 1800 feet.

Which hubs did you go with on your i9 wheels? Wondering if their budget hubs are any good. I had a Backcountry 450 wheelset that I sold with a bike but should have kept, it had the Torch hubs. I liked the engagement, and the sound was good for letting people know you were coming.

 

Torch hubs, I love how I don't even need a bell on the trails, just let the hubs sound the alarm for me. I bought them used from someone who was sponsored by i9 and I have to say they have been the best upgrade I've ever done. My Sync'r pro rocks with that wheelset.
