09 sx trail. Killer mini DH bike.
I have the Trail SL3 29er. How do you like the Easton Havoc 1.5" stem? That is shorter than the stock stem right? I've been having problems with my hands going to sleep and some saddle issues that I think comes from too long of a stem. I was thinking about shortening it. Did you ride with the stock stem at all?
Also, what size of frame did you get and how tall are you? Sorry for playing 20 questions. Ha.
normally shortening your stem is always a good call for aggressive riding but it really depends on your top tube length......bikes are getting longer front ends now which allow for a shorter stem but many older bikes, especially xc bikes are going to be too short if you threw a 50mm stem on...all depends on your size and your bikes size
The Shop
I have the Saguaro's on my one bike and Maxxis Ardent's on my other. The Maxxis are friggin monster truck tires on the pavement compared to the Saguaro's.
I posted a picture of my bike in this thread right after I got it, but since this thread has come up again, here's a better picture in front of Mount Saint Helens.
My Santa Cruz VP Free loaded up for a morning ride.
I don't get it - brought it up to the dealer that was there and told him I could buy a new KTM for that price (close to it) and he went on a tangent trying to convince me that it was a great deal because of all the world-winning-tech going along with the price. Claimed it would be like owning Roczen's actual factory 450.
Um, not really pal.
That SB5c is nasty, the SB6c is even nastier!
Pit Row
Rode 22 miles today on the road actually. Legs were flat but it's nice to get out and ride regardless.
Japanese 24" Yamaha motorbike copy, rare as hens teeth, cant find any info
drum brakes whoo hoo
"real" suspension
proper seat
hi tech 3 speed hub
weighs a ton
might try to get one of those electric mtr hubs
I have a Yeti SB95a with the Race Build Kit. All Shimano XT, Fox Kashima suspension, Stan's ArchEX wheels (BTW, Enve wheels aren't half the weight) and it cost me $2800 out the door (it was a demo). 1300 miles this year, 185k feet of elevation gain (Strava, bro) and it's been bomb-proof.
No way on earth you could justify 10k on a bike-with-pedals to me. There are countless options from the $3000-5k range that are just as solid, and then some.
I'm a fan of Yeti, but they're pricing me out of their demographic pretty quickly.
and what I nearly rode thru the other week, body is about the size of your little finger and web stretches across 1.5 metres
not scared of spiders but I did not want that wrapped around me 10 ks from anywhere!
that is at head height on a bike too.
I love my girls
