    a little piece of me died

    When the technology comes out for lighter batteries and the bike is more like my all-mountain bike...i may be interested. Having a full time job doesn't allow me to get out as much as I used to so the market is there. I just don't like the bikes in their current state. They aren't super fun imo

    New Pivot DH bike

    All I know about Pivot is I've never met a nice owner. They're all pretentious and act like I don't know bikes just because I am either on an evil uprising or a transition patrol. It's true...my taste in bikes suck. As far as dentist bikes, here in utah it's all about santa cruz! It's the most...

    Bontrager/DT 54 point ratchet

    Although I have no problem with the aluminum spokes, I just bought the hubs because I prefer to have certain rims. I just built up what I wanted.

    i've been to the darkside

    I just ordered a Transition Smuggler and most components will be exactly like my Patrol. I'm interested to see if i'm going to like the 29er vs the 27.5 if the builds are approx the same. It should be faster going up atleast

    Endubro Forks, overwhelming. 160mm x 27.5

    I know I'll get yelled at...but I love my 2015 350 air. Super plush, not much of a weight penalty vs anything else, ramps up amazing, small bump is perfect. I'd put it vs any fork out there

    Specialized big hit upgrade advice

    Don't worry about suspension. With that kind of money, you can def get like a new model(2010-2015) boxxer team though I think the rear shock was a weird size. You could probably get new valving for it if you're worried about it(Avalanche does it). If i were you, i'd get new brakes and a...

    New "trail bike" rides for 2015 (No DH bikes allowed!)

    I guess this is creeping pretty close to a dh bike. Large Patrol, Marzocchi NCR Air, XO Drivetrain, Industry Nine wheels, Deity components, Guide Brakes and Push Industries ElevenSix shock(I bought this bc i'm 235 with gear and have had problems with air shocks in the past. Yes I pedal tons and...

    who doesnt like a bike comparison thread?? commencal supreme 8 vs tr450

    I've ridden both and like the TR450 way more. Less brake jack, smoother on rock gardens, and it just feels more comfortable.

    "Ultimate Home Cycle Lair / Garage"... aka "The Man Cave"...

    wow I must be the only mountain biker envies that room. I would never do it, but it's sick. I do love old road bikes though. That collection is just beautiful.

    Evil Undead

    I have an uprising with the spherical bearings...should I swap them with the RWC that were included with the frame or wait? There wasn't really any explanation. I just rode it for the first time and it sounded like there was creaking coming from the linkage. I'm not sure where it's coming from...

    Bad news about Sombrio

    I bought my clothes on the 15th, and got them on the 24th. Spent 120 and got 3 hoodies, 1 sweater, and a pair of jeans. I love their stuff and am sad these will be my final clothes

    Evil Undead

    oh wow...that does sound rather annoying. Looks like i'll be doing it when i have an extra hour of doing nothing. I wouldn't change it if i didn't care so much about the geometry. thanks for all the advice!!!

    Evil Undead

    I felt kinda dumb today...so I was trying to switch the Low/High chip on an uprising and the bolt that is connected to the ship that is on the side closer to the headtube, and I just couldn't remove the bolt. It is just spinning. The backside part of the bolt comes out, but the frontside just...
