Shred your posts suck, at least this one was short... XB is out too... see you next year. Thanks for the biking tips.

DD casing is burly bro, XB will WildRock'r the shit out the corners with his Aggresor on the back.... XB has aired into every rock garden, zero issues... DD casing is legit... Not everyone wants a 1500g Michelin tire, some ppl Climb hills, not all just bums in chairs.

Im wondering why Shred wants XB to eat a bag of pasta.


Awww yes the form is back to normal. I was concerned it was too quite in here for a while. This feels better Smile Thanks XB for your rhetorical rants that brightened my day. This is always as entertaining as reading the comments people wring on newspaper articles.

Love you fellas!!! Y'all are awesome.

Seen your fork for sale... on the fence on whether to try and get another year out of the turner and just beef it up for fun or sell everything, put it all on red to win and go for a Nomad or something similar with my winnings.

My LBS steered me away from the intense saying it's a good bike but it will need lots of maintenance.


ps. we should all race and get our frustrations out and stop acting like 13 year old girls who are on their first ever monthly. By we I mean XB and Shred. Stop taking shots at each other. Save it all and then use it to haze noobs that come in here.

You make a lot of sense. Stop that eh. Heh heh. They're like brothers. Hilarious brothers. Xb loves to raz shred
Ya new bikes are tempting. I have a thing for turners(good people good builder). Be hard to let go. Same with mine. I want a darkside but I'm scared to part with the rune even though same co and very similar

been hearing good things about e13 tires (grip, longevity, burliness)... might try one next time around in the rear. EXO up front seems to be ok.

Price for a Giant carbon is $3,250 US$ (https://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-us/bikes/model/reign.advanced.27.5.frameset/22208/84107/)

Price for Patrol carbon is $3,199 (https://www.transitionbikes.com/Bikes_PatrolCarbon.cfm)

Kinematics is better on the Patrol.

XB just got Trump'd.

And of course these chairlift warriors are running 1500g tires on the front and back, the only adversity they see is the few pedal strokes they gotta do getting off the lift... Try doing man climbs with your DH tires front/back you will crumble and gas out... More to life than riding the lift, it's just a crutch and makes you weak as a true cyclist. If that lift ever closed you guys would all need to buy E-bikes ...

frames are not going to be cheaper in Canada than the USA. I couldn't find a frame option on the Canada site and I can guarantee you that $2499 isn't going to be carbon. Any link?

Got points, won't tell how many. Breaks bro-code. ... How come in this thread XB constantly feels like he is surrounded by pure biking noobs, and we just go in circles...? Shred runs and cries, Vag-Jeff always threatens violence, and J-dub tries to prove XB wrong but always fails.

You guys are like taking a grade 2 class to the Zoo: Always a sh#t show, and not much common sense, and sure enough some newb climbs into a cage he ain't supposed to be in.
