42 TOOTH good GOD. You ride that in Gravity mode and I am not sure you could clear 1/4 of the stuff on Tower. That Pike must get a bit flexy going over rocks fast? I am like 215 and could feel it a few times on the WFO I have been riding.
New "trail bike" rides for 2015 (No DH bikes allowed!)
- Thread starter kickstand
- Start date
Are you guys having a megagravity off?
That is so cute......
That is so cute......
yay the Megatrail has my eye as well have to see what the $$ is like come spring
42t rear cog to be clear..Im running a 32-42t combo now...aka bitch gearing...used to run 36 x 36 on my 26" bike..
Pike is fine..Im 190ish but I try to keep it pretty smooth...I have had to replace the crowns though due to excessive creaking...only time I notice flex is when I'm slamming big square edges or G outs at top speed when the whole bike is compressed..
Here is mine! http://www.pinkbike.com/u/stylexxx/album/Capra/ few upgrade to do but almost ready
As gross as that seems....
Maybe we should have a Megagizz Fest?
Maybe just call it The Gizz Fest?
We have a trail over here called Ginny. Maybe we should have a Gizz on Ginny Fest?
Cumming this Summer!
No unrideable soft-dick VPP equiped bikes allowed. DW bikes are okay, tho.
guess i'm out (maybe I could petition since I mine has a coil?)
I really wish this would have been in the thread subject. I posted my VPP bike and now everyone knows I have an unrideable soft-dick.
Oh you can post in this thread. I was speaking to the Gizz Fest going on in Colorado this summer. Cum ride Ginny!
Don't worry, you and your unrideable soft-dick will blend in with the plethora of soft-dick riders 'round these parts.
Not a new 2015 bike, but new to me. Built it up with my first foray into the 1x11 world. Loving it, although wouldn't mind a 30T ring up front instead of the 32T currently.
LOL... RayB? As in the wrench from Path?
Because 'Murica.
EDIT:
Also, thanks to the epic 3+ page shit-fest re: VPP suspension & leverage curvez, I realize that my bike's suspension design is inferior. Luckily, I don't give a shit.
Just saw your Luge pic there and put two and two together.
Please put the fat bike in the fat bike thread! 
Sorry, but I think you have me confused with the wrong person, but nice to meet you.
(Dudes named Ray who ride bikes are generally pretty cool from my experience...........)
Same 2014 Devinci Troy as last year, just continuing to upgrade. Has dropper that is not pictured.

He's actually named Rabie (or something like that). Still nice to see another OC'r on the Monkey though.Sorry, but I think you have me confused with the wrong person, but nice to meet you.

We need an OC Monkey ride.
I'm down for this. I usually ride: Santiago Oaks, Lagoona/Aliso, and Whiting/Luge. PM me and we can shred!
Just take a fuckin picture in your front yard or garage like everyone else.
Jeesh.........."honey, setup the studio and fire up the lights, I need to take another pic because I changed the fork"

Cooked food by mom tastes good, but it doesnt need a photoshoot and instagramification and twitterism.
My bike assisted the photoshoot and and was the model to figure out light placement, powers, angles etc. it is a much more capable bike than the quacked out short travel 29r's I shot that day.....Just take a fuckin picture in your front yard or garage like everyone else.

The wheel reflection on the white ground is a nice touch
In the pursuit of the most capable bike ever, I've got an ad out in craigslist looking for one that can make bloody marys and change the oil in my truck.
Based on reading mtbr, I'm pretty sure that's the nomad. Not sure but they might be licensed massage therapists too. And ordained ministers.
Well, the Nomad is the only bike out there that comes with its own shuttle donkey, so that should count for something

FTFY.
Too rim light heavy
I support longer and lower.....update for those that don't know. Different fork!
You still on the derby's? Im so much happier on the narrower rims..

Yeah I have no $$$ so rolling them for now. They are very stiff though. For how rocky it is around here they tend to beat you up more then a more compliant rim would I feel....
Good choice of tyres, those Grid casing butchers really are the tits.For all you VPP haters to suck on, 28.5 lbs of Kill Trail™ goodness!

Not hating on the build at all, but reckon you've cut that steerer a bit too short? The front end of the Nomad's pretty slammed + no stem spacers + low bars - do you not ride any steep stuff?
Big gear and slammed stem - must be a roadie.
LOL... We've probably passed each other on the trail then.
You'd love my setup on my Megatrail.
