Yes, always!
Sightings of logging machinery should always ring all the alarm bells though. Over here chances of steel cables running across trails are pretty high when they appear in the woods.Set humus is right. The public transportation train shuttled spots are always open but snowy in winter. We had a lot of rain and warm temps which melted all the snow in the valleys. It’s spring conditions in the mountains and the train shuttled spots are going off right now. There’s also some logging going on in those spots and some trees in run outs of steep chutes.
Ronin just got pretty lucky in Bex, haha.

You mean Toyota? Not sure of the model.
I'm one of those losers who doesn't normally like the looks of steel bikes.
But that thing, is a beaut.
Yes! But more because they like to argue/fight with bikers since we are riding their log chutes. They make for sweet leafy couloirs between loamy single track sections. Bex has a bunch of those.
That chute is steeper than it looks and you couldn’t stop even if you wanted to at the point where they saw the Timberjack. The muddy branch filled compression at the end of that one makes everyone think twice in the spring time even without a pile of logs and a working Timberjack in the runout.
Is there a virtual trade show going on?SRAM XO1 AXS 7 speed drivetrain?
This holds true for here as well, although the guys actually working more and more tend to be from Slovakia or Romania and they don't really care for us as long as the owner of the forest isn't present.Yeah, thought so as they were really sliding from left to right and back again. Nice run!
Sea Otter Online will begin in the next days, think it was 03-06.03. At the moment don’t know!
i think the only thing that's different is the cage length. i would suspect the shifter could be easily programmed to limit the range to a 7 gear cassette.SRAM XO1 AXS 7 speed drivetrain?
Feast your eyes on this. Lots of acronyms to digest.

From seasoned pros and weekend warriors to kids and commuters, if you ride, we’re here for you. We believe that bikes have the power to change lives, and this simple truth drives us to be and do better.
Starting with the brand name, that Mullet is meh all the way around.
seriously have they been living under a rock?
"From where we stand, mountain bike geometry has virtually hit a ceiling after 30 years of development "
are they standing with their heads in the sand? most of the geometric evolution of bikes has occurred in what, the last 5 years?
"We’re bringing back mixed wheels & single pivots, which to many sounds extinct "
single pivots extinct to many? or just them.
fuck these guys all the way to the moon.
we'd have to read the patents themselves, because from what they're saying here it sure as shit doesn't sound like it would stand up to a challenge. and a nearly 2:1 shock ratio? someone call brent foes, i'm sure he's not busy.
hahaha, that's an impressive load of marketing wank. was delighted to see "brake jack" appear again in contemporary parlay. thought it was extinct. missed the opportunity to add "elevated chainstays eliminate chainsuck" tho.
The Butcher was a single pivot with linkage-driven shock, so a bit different.
Those Mullet guys should spend more dollars on engineering and less on marketing.

I had a Butcher, and to be fair, it did have a rate modifying link, so not a direct homage to the Bullit/Heckler (which I had both of those as well). But it did offer shitty geometry, with the added benefit of emulating the shitty kinematics of the original VPP designs. So I have no idea why they're not around more anymore
I'm sorry there are just too many bike brands, garbage tires, nearly identical components with different logos., and generally a lot of new BS players in the industry. When's this bubble going to burst?
I for one believe the fuck out of the marketing claims. I mean, they even cited the venerable squirrel on a pine tree analogy.
We can only hope.
I saw this bike on the trail yesterday. Nothing to report other than it looked mean.
