A new adventure/experiment: Custom Hardtail Frame!
RonSurly replied to gotdurt's topic in Mountain Biking Discussion
I’m experimenting with a bikes direct rigid single speed 27.5 plus bike. The numbers are close to what you’re looking for 67.5 ha 73 seat 430 reach 435 cs. I installed 3.0 knards tubeless a short stem and I think I’m now sold on rigid plus 27.5 now! -
Aw come on in the waters nice 😂

Hey you don’t have to buy a $5k or more bike to have fun. I bought a low end Fuji Outland then later upgraded the fork, drive train and added a dropper. No complaints, check out the Austin Bike farm.

Sherpa! Haha yeah I retired the rigid single speed a couple of years ago. Now it’s FS and gears only!

Suburban Ninja & the Toro Grande Blvd. Extension
RonSurly replied to WhoAmI's topic in Mountain Biking Discussion
Ninja also!? I tried riding walnut Sunday afternoon, wow, was busiest I’ve ever seen it. Parking lots full, multiple hikers on every segment of trail. One guy thought he was getting out of the way and stood on the lip of the jump? Has me rethinking when/if there is a good low traffic time now at walnut -
Gorilla tape, looks bad/messy but it’s hidden under the tire.

I’m new to the video game, this one’s rough, the plan is to improve. Critiques welcome. My thoughts now after this one, little too long, some clips too short, needs another off bike camera angle and maybe a full face helmet with chin mount angle would be better instead of top of helmet.

Indeed, I strung together a short 8 mile loop there that my gps says is worth ~1600ft ascent total, not too shabby

I’m all about low maintenance and longevity. Lighter weight and stiffness is a plus too. I’ve always considered aluminum rims a consumable item and have never reused a rim on another hub.

Man you guys have sold me on carbon rims now, been resistant. But I guess this will be my next upgrade

Rank in difficulty austin area trails/segments
RonSurly replied to skinned elbows's topic in Mountain Biking Discussion
something doesn’t smell right -
Manuals are good for maintaining or assisting increasing speed through dips/undulating terrain (watch a BMX race). Effectively rear suspension is increased by your legs, very cool. On flat it’s all for the steez

I was right about the apocalypse
RonSurly replied to AustinBike's topic in Mountain Biking Discussion
I also have been noticing more and more eMtbs on the trails. But it’s been pretty much a nonissue, no negatives that I’ve encountered. I’m actually sold on owning one as a 2nd mtb once the used market is full after covid. -

Started rolling some continental 2.3 cross kings f/r, awesome on the pavement enroute to trail and just enough grip off-road.
