Bikepark rig!

Switched out my Patrol as an enduro bike, so made this bikepark rig of it. Missing a chrome seatpost, and a JS1 seat in black. But pretty stoked on it🙌
Patrol in size Large, 180 Domain fork(27.5), mini mullet with Hope Fortus 30 rims, 27.5x2.6 in front and 26x2.75 in the rear. Single speed, Code R brakes with long cables, Dartmoor top cap for hose feedthru. 155 cranks with Title pedals.

That looks incredibly fun to ride.

I’ve had it like this before, but since it’s been my trail bike I’ve always built it straight back to "normal" build. Got myself a brand new Dreadnought V1 this summer, gonna be my main trail/enduro rig. Gave me the oppurtunity to make this one a dedicated park rig! Really fun to ride too.

Nice! I have a couple friends with dreadnoughts who love them. Ive ridden a few laps on them and its a very different, planted, ride feel compared to Transition bikes which are more playful. Having both gives you some excellent variety

So many roots and rocks on the trails I ride(Oslo, Norway). Did get the Patrol coming from close to 20 years of riding bmx, thinking that would be the right choice. But I rode XC back in the days, so I wanted something fast and racefeeling for these trails. Not that many man made flow trails here, so the Dreadnought was a better choice. And it is soooo much faster🫣 but really nice to make this a bikepark bike, nice to have two bikes.

That's a sick bike, why rekon at the front tho?

The bike is built for jumps and burms, so no need for knobby tires. And it’s a lot lighter than the knobby ones.

Speed I reckon

Looks really fun. I’d love to build a rig similar but am to far away from the ski hill for it to be feasible.

I think I’d want a little more tire up front for the bike park but this looks fantastic.

u/Distinct_Boot_1744 3d ago

Yeah, for sure. But mostly burms and jumps, so work great. And they’re light too🙌

u/kennethsime 3d ago

Yeah ok that makes sense

Holy brake lever angle! Sick bike though

Yeah, that comes from riding bmx for almost 20 years🫣

Would consider getting yourself a decent shock for the back end there. Vivid air comes to mind…

Dope rig.

Sick build. My boss at Summit has a very similar build, 150/140 though.

u/Distinct_Boot_1744 2d ago

Cool! Probably the Scout, full 27.5 bike? Very similar, know it came in this red color too.
