At least my bike didnt need charging.......well, at least we established that RAAM was downhill riding for you
Considering cycling is about the only way I can retain the least amount of sanity I have, I don’t know how you made it 8 years.
I am 3 years in on selling my DH bike though. New crop of endurbro bikes are so good, honestly only miss it at Windrock.
Long and the short is the GG will be bad ass.

I have always had a substantial fleet of motos, Not the same but still bikes I guess
if you go with the Gnarvana and want a coil, consider the Push ElevenSix. I have one on my trail bike and it's the best rear shock I've ever had. I wanted one for the DH bike, but Push isn't making one in the size I needed, hence the Ohlins.
Got a couple messages out to see if the Ohlins are in stock, Ive been a moto suspension guru and have Ohlins on some of my motos and already have the tools and background on them so would prob stick with what I know and can rebuild and tune myself. Back in the day Push was just a tuning service, seems they have come a long ways since then no doubt. I just like the fact I can buy what ever spring config I want from Ohlins, same with my motos and jeep coil overs.
currently WFH as a click reload every 5 minutes on my COVID test I sent out. FUCKING UPDATE. Right now everything is a COVID symptom
tons of meeting today, so spending all of my time in my chair. Thankfully, I absolutely grenaded my legs with apparently too hard of a workout on Wednesday. Like, every muscle in my legs is sore. Oops. I guess I thought 6mo of heavier bike riding than I have ever done previously would have left me in good shape...nope.
Finally got a SS gift in. More today, and the last on Monday. I might be on time!

yea, they've definitely been shifting away from tuning, and more towards their own product manufacturing.
just checked their website - it would appear they no longer list service for fox products. only RS, and even then only 4 fork models.
I think I must be the only person in the world who didn’t like their ElevenSix. I’d lusted for one but I just never got it to feel great on my Sentinel. Switched back to air.
what power zones were you in, bro
Just got off the phone with GG, seems they wont sell a frame without a shock, kinda weird but oh well, wonder wich one will have the best resell value.
If you aren't interested in trying the 11.6 I'd say the cheapest shock they have. Do you even know if the Ohlins will physically fit in the frame without issues?
@marshalolson ... @mtg ... have you guys tried this Ohlins configuration?
infinity...I was weight lifting. That's the sad shit- apparently 35lb kettlebell squats 3x20 will destroy you if you haven't done them in a while, despite all the power zone 3 work I do
Yep, myself and @marshalolson (Marketing Director at GG) post in there regularly.
Ohlins have tuning info for GG bikes, FYI. Also, in the builder for the Gnarvana are Push shocks, and that's as good as it gets for performance and adjustability.
Welcome back, it's been a long time since you've posted on here.
Curious what made you choose full dh sled over a big enduro.I do have a pedal bike still! Of course, I don't ride it: my belt drive drop bar commuter. The 1 kW commuter e-bike is much more fun.
Also have this coming springtime or so, preordered. For Trestle days.
Is shuttling at that secret place in the hills behind that one town on i70 still a thing?
Er... It's not windy.
He bought it for resort riding at winter park.
Ya, but unless you are just planning on banging laps on Trestle, a fully blown dh is plenty to pedal around there.
It was shut down for a couple years now due to... NIMBY issues. They re-routed the bottom portion and I *think* it's back in business...
It's a bluebird day, sans snow.
I haven't restocked the firewood inside from the other days outage. I guess I should.
Well, there's that one after Lenawee. That one's uh... Yeah. Doesn't need a big bike, but would probably be fun with one.
That one is rideable now without crossing the private land at the bottom.That one would be a BITCH getting a big bike to the top. That said... yeah - fun.
Rode it during late summer with @Nick and others.
My 8 year old Lake MXZ303 shoes are a little too small and the boa lace is about to snap. Wife just authorized some new MXZ304's as a late addition to the festivus gifts.
I recently was pleased to discover that BOA shit has a lifetime warranty and getting a replacement is a pretty simple process.
I haven’t ridden up there since 2012 I’d say but last I remembered on of the trails ended where someone was building a house. I’m referencing the stuff up around the Mojo compound.
Interesante... did someone cut some new trail in? How the eff do you get across the river? Is there another (public) bridge downstream somewhere? Inquiring minds and all that...
Hmm... might be on the OTHER side of I-70 that you're talking about. Not sure...
@sunringlerider is thinking about the old OMG area trails. Sadly, most of those are a no go, but the general area is slated for new shuttleable dh trails per COMBA.
That reminds me of that one time at the Maah Daah Hey trail...
Edited to fix obvious typo.
Hey, it's clearly margarita hour in his house.Try again?
That's a badass rider in that photo though.
Goddammit. Fixed, part deux.Try again?
Agreed, best rider in the crew that day! It's hard to complain about tired legs when you have such a positive, fun loving person around.
