This one is new and cheap. Could easily have a better fork than a Lyric for less than $1k https://www.ebay.com/itm/RockShox-Yari-RC-Fork-27-5-29-160mm-DebonAir-Boost-Black/264072989345?hash=item3d7bfa0aa1:g:q8EAAOSwG1JcITM6

Mine came loose the first time I rode it. I retightened it and no issues since.

Tried another lap yesterday 20:05. Broke a spoke on rear wheel in process picked up a rock or stick. At least my time is consistent.

I think that smell might be why it's called "Full Gas On Peddlers Pass".

He who smelt it dealt it😂

I like going up the root drop.

Was KOM trails out there doing work? I saw something on there IG that was in Cedar Park and the photos looked like Peddlers.

Puzzler took me quite a while to master, but it's really not that hard with the right approach and speed. I take a line wide to left while peddling hard and blast right over the rocks, works every time. As for the drop in on the North side of the H&B at PicnicX I've never ridden it because I assumed it was cut in by riders who were too lazy to drop in over the tree roots or the the whoops. When you think about people moving the blocks or bypassing lines it makes me think of going to a friends house and rearranging their furniture to fit my needs.

At $5 I'm guessing it wasn't much.

I run a 140 Yari on my HT works well for me.

Drive side done to death!:)

You sound terrible🤣

They are on the inside of the turns on the newer section where it gets close to the park entrance. I understood right away that they mark the turns, and like you say if they were removed there would be no clear indication of where the turns are and people would be cutting the turns. As you ride the trail more you'll get used to the trees being there. Like I said in previous post it was my first time riding it in the new direction and I did get close to the trees but no worse than anything else we ride around here. There is plenty of width on those sections of trail to avoid getting too close to the trees you just need to pick your entrance/exit correctly.

I think he's talking about trees on the sides of the trail. You get close to a few of them, but if you visualize the line you want to take and control your speed they're no worse than some of the trees you encounter on 1/4-DD.

Very cool! Registered!

Rode the new direction complete for first time yesterday. Lap time of 20.05. Had a couple of slow downs one for another rider and one to stop and ask if a kid was alright he crashed his junk hard on the stem, he was riding with his dad and brother. I know I can improve my time considering this was my first time in the new direction and wasn't familiar with all the new trail. The trail will get faster as all the new additions get worn in. A lot of the new stuff has ruts that will get filled and packed as more people ride the trail. Are there plans for more berms on the new sections? There definitely are some turns that would benefit from them. Time was on my FS 29 120/140 65.5 HA. Hans Dampf up front at 23psi Nobby Nic out back at 28psi. The new sections that are all loose limestone ate my rear tire, tore about 80% of lugs off the casing. Need to consider something a little more durable.

Not enough momentum.

Hopefully the rock section will stay the same now instead of every time you hit it it's different.

I have the Brand X on both my bikes. Solid dropper. No issue after two years.

Just got back from 3hrs. Trails were excellent as was the weather. Go get some before it's a 100 f**king degrees. Didn't ride 1/4 or DD but what we did ride was excellent. Great ride Throet, Morris, and Christian, had a real good time. It's good to get out with good people.

Video or it didn't happen😂

I relaced a wheel for a friend that had Cush core in it. What a PIA the Cush core is when trying to get the tire centered on the wheel. Tire had a massive wobble with the Cush core. The Cush core would be a giant headache if you need to service your tire on the trail. Not for me.

Yeah I saw that yesterday morning.

There is a cut through between Dub Step and Pre Plunge that I have repeatedly blocked but to no avail. There is also a by pass at Puzzler that goes around the trees with the rocks, only saw that one last time I rode, didn't get a chance to block it. There are a couple others, one after Loyd Bridges after the rock feature I think is called Bird Song? Where it steps down to the small downhill section before going back into the woods. I have also tried to block that one a couple of times with no success. People suck!
