This^ I wish more people understood that when selecting/building a HT. Looks good man! Of all the bikes ive let go of, my HT was the toughest. So much fun.

Am i actually typing this? Was Elon right? Id pick b_rtm_n over the other, as BM knew when to lay low for a while. Additionally, he at least had a history of participating in the MTB community through group rides and trail maintenance.

Hate to tell you this, but theres more to living in a state than mountain bike trails. Austin is a pretty good example of this. I lived in NM twice, once by choice, and couldn't get out of that place fast enough. NM ranks at or near the bottom of US states in every possible metric. Last I checked it had a negative net migration for this very reason. Lived in a majority of the states in the SW/Western US and also California. NM is 3rd world in comparison. We'll stay friends regardless as you know the trails, and I have extra bike parts you need🤣

Are there normal singletrack trails at SM? I can only imagine the "trail access pass" would allow people to pedal up the service road and take the DH trails down? In the end, they control the land and can decide who/what accesses the trails. None of it makes sense but at some point they might clear it up. FYI, Seth from Seth's bike hacks will be there this weekend.

Are they really? To me, it would seem as the resort is private property and the owners/managers control the trails and access, e-bikes being used to bypass the lifts would not be an issue. At MSA they were only seen in the lodge/pit area shuttling riders ETC. As others have said, it can indeed add up fast. However, if my wife and I can do a three day weekend and ride RPR and SM, then it'll still be cheaper than loading up and heading to NM or colorado. And for the record, f@ck new mexico

Yes, and crested butte. This park will be no comparison to either. It'd be like paying porsche prices for a VW. Same company but not the same product.

Just like the brewing industry RIP: Big Bend Brewing

If thats accurate, this place will be posting groupon deals in 6 months. For $50, im cool with going a few times year but their current pass pricing is not worth it. I lived in NM for 18 mos and probably made 6-8 visits total at the bike parks, and I lived minutes from one of them. Heres some comparisons: https://www.skiapache.com/summer/mountain-biking/ http://sandiapeak.com/index.php?page=summer-rates-tickets https://www.angelfireresort.com/activities/summer-activities/bike-park/lift-tickets-season-passes/

Had two P111s and really liked them for all around trail riding. After I installed a 2* headset and 40mm offset CSU, it felt like a whole different bike. How about this then: LLS is a bit pointless here as 90% of the riding averages around 5mph while negotiating a series of switchback, switchback, switchback, ledge, ledge, switchbacks.

The whole LLS phenomenom is completely subjective to the end user. Would I recommend a mondraker for deception? Probably not. Generally most 100-120mm 29s and 130-140mm 27.5s work well here and wont be too slack or long. My honzo had a sub 12" BB and was able to get through the usual rockbike riding here without being too much of an issue. Demo, demo, demo

Still waiting on: shock upgrade fork rebuild wheels xyz bike purchase ARR & 512 membership maybe youd like to give those another go?

Come on my little forum tumor, you can spread your cancer better than that. I believe in you!!

come on, you can do better. you have the free time

she'z on tilt again........ next come the bible quotes!

You get a job and move out of your apartment?

Impossible

That's the exact attitude that has turned this forum against you

Forgot to add the south store had some really good deals on helmets, garmin, clothes, shimano 10spd drivetrain and a 27.5 arch mk3 wheelset. They also had their house brand wheels for dirt cheap. I got my my royal racing jersey for 10.00

Holy sh@t. Picked up one of these for me and one for chief today. Too good of deal to pass up.

I really like the modular design philosophy. Build one front triangle in 3-4 sizes and thats it. Only need the equivalent number of molds, and with the improved resin reducing production time, it puts them on the right track for lean production and a lot of waste reduction over the competition. For a logistics nerd like me, it was cool hearing Montague use phrases like "just in time". The geo looks promising and they have also done a good job improving the aesthetics of the bike as well. I'll be paying attention to this for sure

Place looks rad. Unless there's a fast food chain attached to it, it'll never happen in tejas.

Mom lived in Newport and these laguna trails were always popular for everyone from novice to experienced riders. https://www.mtbproject.com/trail/7003855/ridge-rollercoaster-romance

Yes they were purchased by PON in 15. They seemed to have stayed to loyal to their principals and used the money to innovate and buy their own carbon production facilites. From what I hear, Roskopp and Graney are a good balance for the business and treat their employees and riders really well. The fact they've kept Cedric, Peaty and up until recently, Ratty on the payroll/sponsorship reflects well on the company in my eyes.

A little late posting this one but it was too good not to. Pierron is an absolute madman! Fast, low, loose, in total control and everything i wish i could be as a rider. That ship has definitelty sailed but at least i have youtube Oh, and the black angels soundtrack helps too. Cant wait for 2019 WC season!!

SC has got their business model absolutely DIALED. They've come a long way in the last couple of years and are definitley on a short list of brands that'll ill return to when/if I jump the kona ship.
