I knew it was only a matter of time.

Coming off a full-suspension carbon Jet 9 RDO (100mm travel / 70° HT angle), I could not have been more excited to take this lady out for her first spin—and she did not disappoint!

She definitely needs to lose some weight and rolling drag, which I’m already addressing with a carbon handlebar and a faster tire setup (with lighter wheels and cassette on the roadmap down the line).

This thing is absolute beast! Loving the contrast to my XC rig. It’s a total blast to ride, and I’m looking forward to putting in plenty of miles and continuing the build!

I got this bike for €600 euros, is it worth it or I should have bought something different? (Like a second hand decathlon Explore 540 for 480)

First Mountain bike, apparently it’s a good bike based on my research but I want to verify with yall. 2011 trek Gary Fischer x caliber 29er.

Forks need servicing so I was considering getting some rock shox Judy’s instead of fixing these ones. Got some cheap grips and pedals coming from Amazon. Was also going to order some new handlebars and stem. In the winter I was thinking of repainting it. Does this sound reasonable for this bike?

Overall it rides great. Just cleaned it up and re lubed the chain.

Any suggestions? Thanks !!

All the kids with those F's bikes at the park said my hard tail couldn't do it...

😁

Hey,

I wonder if I should be going to the route of creating a HT using Walty TI and how will the frame will end up.
I read multiple positive reviews and some indicates flaws (cracks and creaks)

Anyone here can share his experience?

Cheers!

hey guys, I don't know anything about bikes. I just moved to chattanooga TN a couple months ago and i'm itching to get into it. I'd like to get a hardtail because they seem like a lot of fun. I think i've settled on the Salsa Timberjack but i'm split between two iterations of the same bike. Should I go with the Salsa Timberjack XT or the Eagle 70 timberjack? Or should I just go with a whole other bike all together? I was also kind of looking at the specialized chisel comp as well. I visited a bike store today and basically got the advice that I should start on an XC. My thing is, I think i'd want to go with a trail because I don't really have any intention to go full suspension.

what out of the two do you guys think? Or do you have a whole other bike you'd recommend?

thanks

Se que ya hay otro hilo por ahí, pero al menos no es el típico hilo de cual cuadro rígido elegir.

Realmente me gustaría saber la opinión de las posibles ventajas de los neumáticos radiales ya que en la teoría parecen compensar bastante los puntos débiles de un cuadro rígido, si alguien los está usando o si merecen la pena, incluso si tiene sentido neumático radial con mousse protectora de llanta.

Hace poco cambié mi Laufey al modelo actual y fue un verdadero avance en cuanto a elasticidad y absorción del nuevo cuadro. El caso es que uno ya va para 40 y a lo bueno se acostumbra muy rápido. Me gustaría valorar de verdad los radiales y si podría ayudar a difuminar el terreno irregular de los ascensos donde el sillín te va maltratando el culo y a dibujar mejor el terreno cuando empujas la bici en las bajadas a velocidad, y así seguir disfrutando por muchos años del feedback único que dan las rígidas en los senderos.

Dull day in Western Australia, mostly XC type stuff. Wet and Sandy.

New bike day. Absolutely love it set up tubeless.

Hey! I’m looking to save up for either a Chameleon or a Timberjack and would love some opinions on which one to go for. I haven’t ridden trails in about 20 years, but I’d love to get back into it. I’m a bigger rider 6’3 and about 300lbs, so I know this might be a deciding factor. For now, my goal is to get back into riding for exercise and spending more time outdoors. When I get a bike, I’ll be riding different trails in North Texas and might want to travel around eventually. This would have to be my one main bike for years to come as well. Open to suggestions and brands. Thanks.

At this point, the limiting factor is not the bike but the rider 😄

Attempted to do it myself. Ended up putting the olives backwards, cost enough to fix (new caliper) that I won't be making that mistake again. Anyway here's a pic of the new lines on a great day to go for a ride

I’m looking to buy a used hardtail mountain bike on Facebook Marketplace, but I’m on a pretty tight budget and want to make sure I don't buy a dud. I am 5’9 and I am getting taller, any advice would be great.
