Show off your Mountain Bike!!!

Looks super fun! Nice work! CA is so backass backwards when it comes to building this kind of stuff.

 

Definitely fast and flowing! There's pretty much only XC around here, but I love it. These trails are about 15 mi from my house. There's some less intense trails about 1/2 a mile away. It's awesome! I've found I pretty much adapt to whatever is most accessable...used to be kayaking and sailing. I'd hesitate too if I were you.

 

Just bought it yesterday. First bike I've had in 15 years. It's a 29er so hopefully it doesn't kick my ass.

 

Sweet lookn Trek!

 

This my '12 Felt nine trail. My first 29'er but damn it rolls through shit that my old 26" struggled on.

 

I hope this isn't a repost but this is crazy. I used to ride/race motocross and enduros and I know how fast those bikes are.

thats pretty cool. he made it look easy on that dirt bike though! i thought it was going to be a lot harder

 

From today's ride in Santa Cruz. I f'd up tho and took a turn that took me through a huge patch of poison oak...whoops!

 

that is awesome! i wish i still lived out there

 

Got my first real MB. Jamis X1
Really happy with it, hopefully will get in shape with it, then start hitting some trails!!

 

Congrats!

I'm not sure what your pedals are but if they're the plastic ones, you may want to look into either platforms or a clip less system--the plastic ones have a habit of breaking when you least want them to

 

I will keep that in mind, thanks

 

I got to see David Knight at Last Man Standing, which was held at the ranch that I usually ride at. It was insane, that course, and getting to try some of the sections personally really makes you appreciate enduro riders' skills.

But that video is a little biased, the downhill dude obviously knew the course and i can imagine having a dirtbike would only marginally be an advantage, but only if you know the course. Otherwise, the bike's weight and size would just be slowing you down! I'm surprised David did that well actually

 

Nice TOP, Transition makes good stuff. I got a Covert and probably building a

$36 TR250 Dupli-Color Truck Bed Vinyl Polymer Coating Aerosol Black 16.5 oz Water Resistant

TR250 this summer. Sold my BlackMarket Riot a bit ago, which was a mistake but it funded a fisheye.

 

do any of you guys use the maxxis high roller or advantage? i need some new tires. it will be used for rocks and dry dirt mostly, any other suggestions? im thinking about a 2.35 in the front and maybe a 2.1 or bigger in the rear depending on what will fit.

 

I just took the HR's off my Nomad. Replaced them with a WTB 2.3 WeirWolf in the front and WTB 2.2 Wolverine for the rear.

 

ive been thinking about the weirwolf too. how do you like the WTB over the high rollers? was there a reason you took the high rollers off?

 

I think the WTB's offer better traction in the variety of conditions we have here. Plus, they're similar to the old Panaracer Smoke and Dart which I liked a lot.

 

cool. i might try those since the local shop has them

 

Road ride today....it was ok. I just can't get used to worrying about idiot drivers in P.T. (pathetic turd???????) Cruisers among others taking me out on narrow roadways. Makes me even more excited to hit the trails.
