That being said, we'll be camping and riding at high elevation. Bring some extra layers for cold and wet.

Headsets in stock. Unless there's some sort of shortage, we keep all of the build kit components on the website in stock.Of course, I bet some precip will make for stellar riding this weekend. I'm jealous.
Do you have a headset in stock for this metalhead?
One of my friends from Michigan is up there riding today as well, on his Trail Pistol.
Hedonistic Masochism is how I roll, only CO ride I have done prior is the commando (2 elks?)a couple times years ago.
So punish me that is your pleasure
shed heals all.

NopeIz u from da Michigan?
Oh, man - if Green's and Fooses are on the plate... you're gonna have a good time.
Also - if doing Agate, make sure to have it be the *last* descent of the day - 'cause you gon' get soaked on that one.
@SkaredShtles is probably going to curse my family for saying this, but I think 2 Elks is the most over-rated ride in CO. So, you're in for a good time, if that's your only CO experience in the past.Hedonistic Masochism is how I roll, only CO ride I have done prior is the commando (2 elks?)a couple times years ago.

Green's Creek >>>> 2 Elks
Naw - I never would. Mainly because I've never ridden the full 2-Elks. I always end up climbing out China Bowl, then hitting Grand Traverse and then usually Matterhorn, although last time we finished with Cougar Ridge and then headed over to Meadow Mountain and did Whiskey Creek. And holy SHIT is WC fun.
But yeah - fucking Green's is the full-on big titty awesomeness. It's almost too short a ride on a 6" bike, though.
Wyoming Curt Gowdy? If you are up in northern co, drop me a line. I might be able to ride/talk you into something more broflake/endurbro. Or not.Hedonistic Masochism is how I roll, only CO ride I have done prior is the commando (2 elks?)a couple times years ago.

Sunny in Salida gents,
Oh Colorado High Country awe, no other words the overwhelming feelings of puny human...
Positively giddy like a six year old.
Braaap!

Hey Guys,
I had pushed my E-thirteen 9-42 10s Cassette a bit too long and a newly purchased 10s chain is slipping on hard efforts. This, and the fact that I never did really get the shifting of my hybrid 10s 1X setup quite where I would have liked it has led me to replace the entire drivetrain:
Pretty excited to give Eagle a go...
I intend to use my Raceface Cinch cranks (turbines are currently mounted while i deal with another SixC crash replacement) and have ordered the OneUp Switch system with a 34t Chainring.
I also have decided to retire my 4-5 year old ENVE DH bars that have served me well in two bike builds (Ibis HDR prior to the Megatrail) and have a new pair of ENVE DH bars en route with a new Deity Copperhead stem (35mm length in "platinum" finish). I didn't need a new stem, but the Renthal has proven to be a creeky SOB...
Ill snap some pics when its all together, but I still love this bike and have no desire to replace it with something else in the near future (V2 Megatrail would be nice, but I think I would rather keep my V1 going and update it as I go and add another GG bike to the mix).
Regards,

Yep, that was a good time. As far as monkeys that were at Monarch, I know that included @kidwoo @velocipedist and @Lazoup
The next one is Sedona, in November.

You like the Dogg?
If you call ahead of time and reserve one, yes. We did that for Monarch, and gave discounted rates if you want to ride it for the whole weekend.
And, tall folks rejoice, as there is now an XL demo of The Smash in the fleet.
Dogg is a blast. So I exploded my crank on the 2nd greens run and ended up borrowing a Trail Pistol. I had been thinking about playing on 29s (sorry kidwoo) and after riding it I was curious how the shred dogg would feel, so I picked up The Smash seatstays to geek out. So now I have the smash on 27.5s.
Feels likes its on rails and balances really well e.g. maintaining a wheelie felt easier. Slightly less playful, but better in the air than the trail pistol I rode. Still have my OG stays to dial to trail conditions, but at the moment SmashDogg is really fun. Rode 20 miles at Glendo on the way home, next time I will have to ride during the day.
I am super stoked on my ride and still on a Colorado high, from worldclass singletrack.
Big thanks to G.G. for the awesome weekend of riding bicycles at stupid fun speedz down COs goods.
Braaap!
Interesting, it hadn't occurred to me to look at swapping stays. I wonder if smash stays on a megatrail could be a possibility.
@rollertoaster , I asked them about that in an email and got the following reply:
"The conversion that Matt referred to is for people that currently have a Shred Dogg/Megatrail and want to run 29er wheels, so you can purchase the seat stays for the Smash and put them on your Megatrail or Shred Dogg."

Interesting swap ya did there. Any comment on how it affected the geo and possibly suspension kinematics?
I guess I'll just have to buy a megatrail then
Only have 25 miles so far, so my more detailed psychosomatic analysis will be forthcoming, stable as fuck and laterally stiff as hell are my initial impressions.
you spelled rims wrong. may carbon bars explode in your face.
Meh. I already mentioned I was riding 27.5 2.6 tires on my trail bike right now. As soon as those wear out I'll be buying a 29er.
Come on. Who the fuck you think you talking to? I just built a set of 26s for that bike.

Interesting side note. I'm currently in a fracking field in Wyoming with an owl circling my head.
Nice...Staying for the total eclipse of the heart?
I like how GG has limited accessibility to demo bikes but they have Florida and Indiana covered. I assume this is geared towards those who want to roll over bath salt zombies and shred down the side of overpass ramps.
You die now.
Not now but soon.
You won't know when. You won't know how.
But it is coming.
