I used to coach mountain biking when I was a high school teacher. Now I just ride for fun. Wrenching on bikes and building wheels is fun too.

Oct 31, 2023Hardtail & Commuter Hybrid 30+ MPH 50+ mile range
$1775 USDSelling my beloved Steel Hardtail Ebike, I converted this bike to be an ebike with a 500W motor and large battery that can do 50 miles or so at 15mph with some pedaling.
This bike is setup with top end components from a loving mechanic. It has THE BEST e-bike and touring tires ever made, the Marathon Mondial, they are tough, have amazing traction on all surfaces (even on dirt trails) and I've never had a flat with them. The bike has top end components (Shimano XT), hydraulic disk brakes, and an air front fork.
The dropper seat post and adjustable stem let it work for a range of sized riders, I'm 6'2" and it fits me fine but it's a perfect fit for my wife at 5'5" when the dropper goes down (push of a button). It's a versatile and capable 29er/700c bike. It can do gravel and easier single track too!
The ebike has been used for 500 miles but I've only charged it up to 100% a few times, the charger lets you max the charge out at 80% or 90% to extend the life of the battery

Jun 30, 2023XFusion McQueen 140mm 29/27.5+ with rebound adjust
$300 USD7” steerer with a star nut. This is a takeoff from my wife’s bike, maybe 100 miles on it total, she realized she didn’t need something this nice. No scratches, it’s in amazing shape. Buyer pays shipping
DETAIL
It’s pretty clear the competition forgot about stiffness when designing its new plus-size wheel forks. Most plus forks are just wider versions of a standard fork, without thought to adding material to make up for the stiffness loss brought the extra width. With the new McQueen fork, we didn’t want to compromise stiffness just because of a bigger tire, so our goal was to make it equal in stiffness to the rest of our 34mm forks. And we did it without adding a ton of heft. The McQueen tips the scaled just over 2200 grams, providing a stiffness to weight ratio bar none.
FEATURES
The Roughcut Damper is a fully bled bladder and cartridge based damper which features high and low speed, independently adjustable compression and rebound damping adjustment.
Nvolve Wiper seals reducing seal drag and increasing durability.

Jun 26, 2023DVO prorate spring 55mm 525-650lbs
$60 USDI decided to go with a different spring, this was awesome (a touch soft but close to ideal for me at 200lbs) on my ripmoAF. I rode it for 2-3 rides, under 40 miles total on it and it's "like new" in condition.
I compared it to linear 500lbs and 550lbs springs and the progressive spring was great, small bump sensitivity of the 500lbs but even better bottom out support than the 550

Oct 11, 2022DVO Topaz 210x55 Air Shock w/ RipmoAF hardware
$300 USDAfter a year of switching back and forth between coil and air I decided I didn’t want to keep tinkering and I should just pick one. My bike is already heavy so I went with the coil although this shock was definitely preferred when I had my bike setup more as a trail bike than an enduro one. It’s in great shape and was serviced by DVO about 200 miles ago, maybe even less. Case is included
