Show off your Mountain Bike!!!

For sure. Point to point seems like a pain without support. I am wanting to explore the Tahoe area more. I organized a bachelor party out of Truckee and rode a bunch of super fun stuff (Jackass, Big Chief, Martis, OTB, Watson Lake). There is no shortage of good stuff up there.

 

Best garlic in the World right there.

 

new grittys to the stable.

 

Love it. Did you custom paint this?

 

Looks like the factory ghostship green to me. My Capra is the same

 

What do you think about the ARC so far?

 

I have not ridden it yet. I have been having back issues, age 60 and 3 major back operations. Prolly from racing motocross since 1974
But to be honest...the carbon frame looks cheap next to my wifes stumpjunper.

 

hmm, I didn’t see it on their site but I didn’t really look very hard.

 

Well spent $800 on a new dropper post. I managed to drop my Manic on the floor busting the control lever off the bottom on the post, this happened after screwing around trying to re-cable for 30 minutes. The future is now so Rockshox Reverb AXS it was to be.

 

Some of the first had oil filled controls. Tip over could often result in no dropper.

 

I bought the electric version. I'm beyond pissed that the bottom of the Manic broke clean off after being dropped on carpet. I did send an email to Fusion to see if the part can be had as a spare. If it is, on eBay this post will go if not in the garbage can it will go.

That is sweet but man, $800 is a nice chunk of change for a seat post.

 

I figured my sanity of trying to deal with the internal routed dropped cable was worth it.

 

I'm trying to replace the dropper on my Levo and I will corroborate this. What a PITA.

 

I took the shock off removed the two cable retainers and the back guide bolt on the seat tube. I had nothing, but problems with the cable housing falling off the dropper post. It didn't seem to matter how gentle I was in the pushing and pulling. The third go around I dropped the post on the floor breaking the bottom of it off. What brought this one was trying to swap the lever and getting the cable housing the right length. I considered buying the LOAM PNW, but it uses the same cable attachment style. I'm the end wireless won out. It hurts $$ wise, but isn't going to break me.

 

Anyone else notice that Specialized increased the price on all the Levo bikes today? The Levo Comp is now $7500 vs. $6250 and there have been no component upgrades or design changes

 

Yikes! I'll have to look.

 

I was looking at the SC Heckler and noticed it starts at $7k and for whatever reason it made me wonder if all this demand now is going to hike up the prices on bikes. An hour later you made this post lol.

 

$800 is insane when a good cable dropper is $200, but to each their own. I use Oneup V2 droppers on my bikes and cable set-up is pretty straight forward. Obviously depends on the bike it is going on and the routing type within the frame.
