But a hardtail is easier to get airborne than a FS in general. I think instead of the seat bounce, you need to think about loading through the pedals. FS bikes are awesome and I love mine, so no disagreement there. I just can’t imagine trying to jump even my FS bikes with a seat bounce. I think I’d eat merde and die, actually. Jumping a bike is a standing thing in my mind. You gotta unload upwards off the pedals to get the back end to come up in a hop… otherwise you are doing a manual. |

Went for a ride yesterday after working 10 hours. I learned that 3000 vert is my maximum on a 37 pound Nomad with 180mm travel. Sucks getting older / fatter, I used to ride up to 5500 vert. I can’t recommend the Fox 38 enough for downhill riding. I’ve put them on all my bikes.

I thought about getting a bike last year. I haven't rode a bike in almost twenty years. Talked to a friend at work about bikes. He said he had one for sale. So, I bought this one. It's a Trek 4300. From what I can find, it is a 2010 model. He offered it for $150. I gave him $160 because that's what I had in bills...probably should have given him the $150 though. Now, I'm getting obsessed on bikes. The derailleur wasn't working, and I found out why--the cable busted through the casing. Purchase a new set of cables, a new chain, a chain tool, and a bike working station. Rode the bike around the neighborhood this evening--I should be pretty sore tomorrow. I haven't rod a bike in so long, I can't even hop curbs.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AgeOne: That's a nice bike, how do you like it? I was riding a 2014 giant trance. Someone has an identical one above, I had to double check if that was the one I sold. I'm a Clyde, weighing around 270 kitted. I had trouble with the trance and felt that the suspension sapped a lot of power. Start pedaling and the first thing I'd feel was the rear suspension rising. None of that with the rascal. It's got a ton of pep. It'll bounce and hop all day long. No power loss motoring over bumps and chunk on tech climbs. I've had it for a bike park day in mammoth and it's great for that too. My skill and fitness levels are middling but I have a ton of confidence in the bike and it's enabled me to try some rides I might not have otherwise. The ranger came out later and I'd take a good look at that one too. |

I switched from Schawlbe after years and years due to punctures and knobs tearing off - although I still think the Magic Mary is a great front tire. Maxxis has been great for Moto, downhill, enduro, and E-biking until this last week with 2x failures. Hopefully, it’s not a sign of things to come. |

Hopefully, it’s not a sign of things to come. that stick was a lucky shot that would have murdered pretty much anytire. I'm running Big Betty's front and rear on my enduro, I haven't ripped a knob off yet, but they are wearing pretty quickly. price to pay for the grip I suppose. on the fatties I've maxxis FBF and FBR before. they did grip better on hard pack than the Jumbo Jims, but they were heavy as hell and not great in the sand. the JJ are better in the sand and do have the advantage of rolling faster on hard pack plus they're about half the weight. I haven't damaged one yet, thank god, as fat bike tires are getting harder and harder to find and right now the only trails we have open are all fatbike only/ preferred. i had to order a set for the bike I'm building from Germany. |

Went back to classic maxxis shoes. Also fixed a youthful indiscretion I made several years ago. Used gorilla tape for rim tape
 It was a real pain to clean out of there and install proper rim tape but so worth it when the tire doesn't lose a single PSI over a week or longer. Snapped a photo when still clean but that situation is already resolved

Tooled around in the Eagle Bike Park today with the family. It is a 200 acre park with a variety of trails. Today we just rode the BMX loop with my son, but it's a good way to get comfortable with hard turns and uneven terrain. My daughter's little Walmart bike was in the back of the truck, we got her to do a few hills and then she tipped over and scraped her knee and had a meltdown.

Finally got to the trails for a bit
Got to lose the ass hatchet seat -- its a Specialized Power which i love ! (in 155 i love it ) - but in 160-something, which is the only size my shop had last year when i built the bike - its brutal Need to lose those generic Amazon sourced "Rock Bros." pedals and get some Saints, but just havent made it a priority ----- a knee injury persuaded me to switch to flats for awhile -- and while i cant wait to get back to clipless, there is something nice about just hopping out of the truck and hitting the trails with whatever you are wearing at any particular time

Most people are smart enough to run full suspension on gnarly rides, but I like the simplicity of a hardtail for 95% of the riding I typically do around Indiana. Actually, it was my Sangin! It's the go to, one watch I wear when I'm going on a longer trip. I like the GMT bezel and it's tough enough for Utah  Sweet Yeti btw. I freaking love those. Depending where you're at in OK, check out Bentonville, AR. It's a really cool place to ride around the whole town. It's worth the trip from Indiana, much less Oklahoma! At the Whole Enchilada:

At the Whole Enchilada: https://i.imgur.com/OWMt43E.jpg https://i.imgur.com/iGRGP63.jpg I started riding mountain bikes in 1989 - Moab was a popular destination back then too and almost nobody had suspension of any kind -- we just rode slower than folks do today i imagine Im still coming to grips with the Yeti -- im coming off a 140 travel bike (Yeti SB-95) and while the SB-100 should be a better bike for Oklahoma on paper, the pedal strikes are getting annoying when ive got the suspension in a plush and comfortable setting -- so much so that im shopping for a deal on some 170 cranks to replace the 175's -- but most any build is going to have a teething pain or 2 Bentonville is wonderful - ive only mad eit there once and rode Hobbs Mountain -- such a pretty trail . I will be going back as soon as i can get it in my schedule - its about a 4 hour drive |

165 or 170s are a good idea. I went from 175s to 165s on a Spark and pedal strikes almost disappeared, with no measurable difference in performance once you get past the “this feels weird” factor at first.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By wookie1562: I went from 175 to 170 and it's been great, even at 6'4". I'd like to try 165 but hesitant to drop the coin. Just did some quick math and the circumference difference between 175 and 165 is -5.8%. I interpret this as for equal power between both cranks, a 165 will be a marginally shorter and faster spin than a 175. Alternatively, for every 94 spins on 175 it'll be 100 spins on 165. Marginal gains are still gains Change the chainring if it’s a thing you notice, maybe? |

They have like a concave design so they really grip your shoe. I think they’re worth it, billet aluminum made in the USA. |

Well, my derailer got sucked into my spokes and ripped out 4 nipples and split the rim.
 Attached FileSo, I decided it was a good time to upgrade. Industry nine hubs, Reserve 30 HD rims, XX1 derailer, shifter, and 10-52 cassette. I’ll try out the new stuff tomorrow.  Attached File Attached File |

 I started riding in July of 2021 with this Remedy 8. I absolutely love it. Mountain biking has been my obsession ever since. Until 7 weeks ago when I broke my T12 and L1 vertebrae. Should be fully recovered in another ~7 weeks, according to my doctor. Can't wait to get back on the saddle! |

2021 Specialized Fuse Comp
basic Shimano Deore with house brand Stout parts , a huge upgrade from my old Gen 3 Chameleon I updated last year. Super happy with this so far, I run it both 29x2.6 and 2.7.5 x2.8 swapped the oem Recon with a Pike Ultimate, swapped bars and grips for the PNWs, and some Cromag flats however, I am considering a new(to me) squishy bike, probably a SB130 or 5010 for next year some pics  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |
