Huh, I don't know, it's definitely a DH casing. This is a hard rubber, non-3C "practice" Minion DHF.How is your tire both EXO and DH casing?
Was 33lb with the coil and single insert. I guess 32.5 with an air shock?

Figured it was light it has the vine about it...looks good have some safe runs and snap pics of possible
Only had time for a couple Dh laps cuz we did a big backcountry ride. I wish someone had taken photos when one of the trailbuilders showed us an optional line off the side of Grouse. It was the steepest, longest slab I've ever ridden. Very committed. The Ransom ate it up.
@Lelandjt that's badass..optional lines can be fun....that's cool .
Yeah we have been doing the same thing, I won't stop to take pics and I won't even correct the go pro I'm having too much fun...had some fast as hell laps at silver mountain in the woods and my go pro is aiming at my bars ...

They're just slowly making their way back to shorts.
Or it's that "teenage growth spurt, mom didn't buy me new pants yet" look.

This! At the same time they are also getting tighter. I aquired a
Oddball DH or any bike content:
ROOF RACKS SUCK FOR LONG DISTANCE TRIPS!!
will be my last choice, did 4400 miles last week and had bikes on top of Prius.
-MPG 18 (in a Prius, lol) and avg 22 MPG usually 40+
-BUG guts covering front end, bars and stanchions
-cant go through drive thru's
Cost me SEVERAL hundred dollars extra in gas ...I'll use hitch mount.

WTF's with the current fashion for DH trouser legs to end way above the rider's shoes?
and worse still those riders who's trousers probably fit fairly well turning the hem up???
Spoken like a man without a sock sponsorship
Learned that the hard way with my old Thule Sidearms up on the roof rack.
About 40% hit on gas mileage on my old Honda Civic hatch. Now have a one-up and the hit is minimal, like I don't notice it cause I like on-ramps so 8500rpm gets hit regular like. First time I had to stop for gas part way, I was like WTF? Took me a couple minutes of pondering down the road before
interesting. in my super unfashionable accord hybrid with two bikes on my super unfashionable roof racks i still get mid-20s on long trips. even driving like a prick...
A lot depends on the shape of your particular car. Not only are you pushing a bike through the wind but if it can disturb the flow coming off the back of the car, mileage can take a huge hit. A kamm back like a Prius will be very susceptible.
Mr car takes a good hit with a normal hitch rack. I made my own that tucks the bike closer to the car and now I actually get better mileage with a bike.
No, I thought about never putting them up there again for long trips lol...to the hitch...
From San Diego Went to redwoods, Eugene Or, st Marie's Idaho, Montana, back down and ventured off to Mt hood, Portland, then back to redwoods and San Francisco back to San Diego.
part of the reason i haven't gone hitch is that i've been able to get my roof rack mounts to work with every car i've had for the past 30 years. the other is that my car (and likely the prius) aren't rated for a 2" mount...
Prius is barely rated for humans ..lmao
They aren't designed for 2" hitch capability and tongue weight.. idiots will try and tow a trailer..saw an accord pulling a small flat bed with a train track service rig in Oregon . Guy has not a clue
I have a 2" hitch...grabbed 1 from a guy who was lucky enough to get it before they stopped. I like the way hitch racks are more secure and less wiggle than the tiny set up.
We rode a lot of it and missed out on a few I wanted ...tamarack (smoke jumper, rockstar), brundidge, Mt Spokane (old beacon bomber double down line) I missed this run....all riding spots? That's some road trip
But it was a great time wife and I had a good time took my sister in laws husband riding DH for his first time ...he rides MX and single track in mountains...Rick killed it...
Nope. But I still get the itch every now and then…
But I paid waaaay too much to live where I can pedal to some pretty great riding.
You could buy a lot of gas and lift passes for the premium I paid for my dwelling.
It’s hard to put a price on being able to do it 365, though.

Same here, but not BC great. I can pedal to the bike park, which got the same D- as Highland, but the lack of creativity and number of trails is abysmal.
Yep pretty sure I've matured, I can control the spontaneous urge to ask him "WTF?"..
KIDDING...come on it was the first thing out of my mouth to him and then I asked him if he's had any close calls with asphyxiation at night by being to stupid to breath while sleeping...
Maybe all the layers of paint make it hold up to the abuse better...
-Painted over other paint he had
-Looks like a glossy sparkly fruit leather grape flavored
-had stanchios etched and re anoed but failed to have one of the most important parts done, electro polish or polished before.

Surron
I was gonna say that. The Surron crowd is big into painting, vinyl wrapping, etc. Many of them only ride "street", doing wheelies and stuff.
P.S. Here's my new "big Surron", the Ultra Bee, after removing/trimming the plastics and street legal stuff. 185lbs, 10" travel, all moto parts, and crazy acceleration from 10-50mph.
Getting closer to an Alta!
I was gonna yell at you for posting this in the downhill content thread but that is pretty fuckin' rad.
Is that front brake cable, or what is going on with the weird cable / hose fitting on the fork lowers?
My buddy just got the same one. I can’t wait to try it.
Have one in route! Can’t wait
Alright, being that you're mostly partly Coloradoan. And hopefully you know about Fort Collins. Is a Surron something you'd consider? There's really only like 3 moto trails that are within an hour of driving time. But they are pretty cool. Having done it on a normal mtb. Just trying to justify the cost to the wife....
I am Surron Curious Plenty of regular motos, 4x's and Sidebysides/Razors do these trails too.
Yeah that thing is badass .buddy drew and Eli bring in containers and sell on the light bee they are working with another importer on those...look up sdsurron in Instagram they do a crap ton of high end and fully custom builds...they have done a few pros MX and such...
That thing is badass..
The fork guard secures the brake hose in 2 places instead of the usual 1. I think you're seeing the lower one. Above the crowns the hose looks a little weird cuz I have it run to the left lever. I'm an American DHer at heart so my right index finger wants to control the rear brake.
