I’ve actually been super happy with the aggressor for wear and tear. I live out in the desert and got around 200 miles out of a dissector in the rear before it was destroyed. Very different with soft...

I’ve run both by like the 2.3 aggressor. I use the 2.5 sometimes but it rolls quite a bit slower as the gaps between the tread get bigger. Part of why I like the aggressor is that it rolls fast but...

Thanks for the price breakdown… I wasn’t sure what prices would increase but and only needing an adult pass I’m not concerned about kiddo pricing.

I’ve been struggling to pick mountain collective...

Yeah that was on my radar. It's a DT and I think I have one floating around in toolbox... or can pick one up fairly cheap as it's 3 pawl.

The levers are the expensive part. The left brake lever...

Does anyone know how different the lever shape is between GRX 820 vs GRX 810 (12 vs 11 speed). I have a bike with GRX 810 and I'm considering swapping to 12 speed. I'm thinking that I'd only need a...

Probably the coldest ride I’ve been on in my life was pedaling up to Mount Baker. Left the car in 40 degree rain. Climbed into snow. Was mildly chilly getting to the top wearing all of my layers that...

I have a tundra with a camper as well. I’ve really liked having a swing and I worry a little about the ability to use a swing with the Velocirax.

I have a buddy with a Velocirax. Seems nice. They...

Has anyone ridden the Gen 4 Stigmata (version launched last year).

I have a Canyon Grizl that I’m kinda slowly realizing is a bit smaller than I want and I’m underbiking a bit more than I want in...

Got it. Given that scenario, I’d pass on the 429. The Mach 4 from Pivot is sweet and would feel very fast compared to a Ripley but also like a lot less bike.

I curious about the new ASR sounds...

I think the 429 from pivot is an underrated bike in the burlier side of the “down county” category. Lighter than the Ranger (frame at least) pedals much better than the Tallboy and Spur. Much more...

Well I ruptured my Achilles and never got this re-listed on pinkbike.

One more bump.

Well circling back on this. I appreciate the feedback from people as it helped me set expectations.

I thankfully did well post surgery and was able to make it to the funeral/eulogy. I got in for...

Yeah… sorry to all involved in the first transaction.

I bought the boots new on eBay and pulled the liners without skiing them. The shells are definitely 27.5 but it sounds like they might have...

I'll echo toast on the air spring up front. The Air Spring never really needs to be serviced... dampers on the other hand need some care.

If you really wanted a fork that wouldn't need repairs...

That’s good info and kinda confirms what I’ve been worried about here.

Alright. Super shitty situation.

I’m supposed to lead a celebration of life service for a kid I mentored who took his life a month or two ago. The ask is 20-30 minutes of speaking about the kids...

The SC1 stuff is the exact same product as a type of furniture polish you can order on Amazon… I’m forgetting but someone can remind me. I think it’s pledge or some other big brand :)

Sold!

I bought a new pair of Technica Mach 1 LV's a few weeks ago and never used the liners. They actually feel pretty darn nice but I use Wrap liners resort skiing. This might be nice upgrade for a lot of...

I have a pair of unused industry nine trail S wheels I’d sell for cheap if you wanted something a bit nicer. XD driver. Take offs.

Might get extra resale… but depends on the bike and buyer.

Looks like the new Push fork should launch soon based on their website… when you search the fork name in google you can see it will be $2600…

Looking forward to a few reviews. Curious even if I’ll...

I’m realizing that I’ve started running a slower cadence over the last 5-6 years. I mountain bike around 600-700 hours per year but mostly 14-15 hour weeks during bike season and I’ll ski mid winter....

I’m 160lbs and the 190 Wildcat felt very very nimble. I’ve skied the 184 and that was fun and playful as well.

I’d buy a 196 if a got another pair.

The trend to steep seat tube angles is stupid. Or at least the way people talk about it is stupid.

1. The measurement process is sloppy at best. “Effective seat tube” is always deeply...

I’ll hop in line on these if Robik passes

A really really really heavy chain.

I’m guessing there are other options but the kryptonite New York has been around for a while and feels solid.

Per the question of bar height.

With the spacers under the stem, it’s 108cm to the grip. About 42.5”.

To the stem top it’s about 105cm or 41.25”. You could raise it with a higher rise bar or...

Sold!

Yep! I’ll get some measurements after work!

I’m actually not sure on weight. Ballpark - upper 20’s. This was before bikes got a bit heavier in the last few years. It does have a minion on the front through. My memory is “light” sb5’s were like...

Last bump before pinkbike!

$3350 plus shipping… it’s still winter but you’ll want this within a few months.

Last bump before Pinkbike $800 plus shipping

Definitely has some cosmetic wear but it's...

Little bit of interest but no one has committed.

$850 + Shipping and Paypal Fees.

Could be a fantastic bike for a kid... or just anyone 5'3" or under.

Well someone needs to buy it...

If someone wants a cheaper build I have a set of new Industry Nine Trail S Wheels we could slap on here and get the price down to $2800. Those don't pair as well...

Cross posting for a few bike I listed in gear swap.

Reach out if there are any questions.

Yeti SB150 - $3500 -...

Selling a 'wife bike' for a friend. His wife is 5'1" or 5'2" and this has fit her well.

This is a Yeti SB5 that I'm selling for a buddy. I believe 2015? They changed the frame for the 16 model...

Gauging interest for a buddy who is downsizing his bikes due to two kids and less time to ride.

Ehhh a bit torn. I’m sure they’re sweet but I think I’ll wait to find some 96’s or 102’s to compliment my 114’s (or 110’s if they ever show up used).

On this note, anyone have a pair of 110’s they’d like to sell? I have 114’s that are my favorite ski ever but they’re getting a bit worn down. I might try to find another set of 114’s but I’m curious...

Anyone have a pair of lightly used MTN heels they’d be willing to sell? I have a very hacked pair that I’d like to replace. Toes work fine though…

Ha good point. I dodged treckers - 2012 definitely isn’t old school.

I had 4-5 hut trips on duckbills as a kid (no other tele experiences) and going to frame bindings was “holy shit I can...

I started touring on frame bindings and squad 7’s in 2012. I had a lot of fun getting out in the backcountry.

This setup would make me miserable now… but people start somewhere. I also think the...

Droppers are weird some people have bad experiences. I own two transfers.

Per Strava have a v1 that has 6500ish miles on it (bought it used) and it’s never been rebuilt. Works fine. A bit slower...

I got my first days on my Ghost Trains. 194cm with a Marker Alpinist to supplement a Deathwish Tour with a brakeless FreeRaider 14.

I had some mild buyers remorse on these and I’ve been taking my...

Interesting. Thats a bad financial predicament as I wonder what this type of sale does to the value of the new bikes? As previously referenced - NPR is talking about this so it’s not a small story....

A lot of the new refinement isn’t from the frame either. For example a float x likely makes most bikes ride better than the older dpx2 or whatever it was called. If you bought a 2023 model of the...

It’s interesting… but my hunch is that anyone who holds off on launching new models might end up in a worse situation.

Kona for example - liquidates inventory because it hasn’t kept with the...
