1 Pair New Stans Notubes Arch EX Black 32h
$140 USDThese are BRAND NEW Stand Notubes Arch EX 29" rims. 1 pair. BLACK. 32 hole. 460g
http://www.notubes.com/ZTR-Arch-EX-29-32-Hole-Black-P891C119.aspx .
I don't see what the point of putting pictures up for because you know exactly what they look for. New style decals, with plastic still surrounding the rim.
$140 or best offer. I'll deliver. $89 msrp plus tax and shipping. I'm asking $140 plus shipping. If you think that's too high, shoot me and offer and unless somebody comes up with a better one, they're your's. If somebody offers more than you, they're taking the rims.

Feb 17, 2013Fox Float 34 29er fork new black 140mm travel
$750 USDThis is a new Fox Float 29 34mm stanchion CTD fork. 140mm travel. Never used. Tapered steerer cut at just a hair over 7 inches. Unlike aftermarket Fox forks, this one is black because it's OEM. But don't worry, it's not the Evolution series, it's the top end with the FIT cartridge. A photo is pointless because this is absolutely new. If you REALLY want one, I can get one. $750 or best offer.

Yeti SB66 - Tested
What the hell? Are you high? All I expressed was my experience riding the 2 bikes. I already mentioned what the sizes were. Controlled variables? Are you high? I'm not writing a goddamn review.. I'm making a comment! It was more lively to me. That's a fact. I rode faster with the SB-66. That's a fact. Is one bike definitively better than the other? I don't know, but this how I felt after riding the 2 bikes side-by-side. Chill the @$%% out internet comment police.

Yeti SB66 - Tested
Unfortunately both bikes were smalls. I believe that both bikes felt similar, sizing wise for the size small. I rode both bikes extensively: Stevens Pass black diamond line, one of the PNW's rooty, rocky trail that sometimes doubles as a creek(thus the rocks).
You know, I was thinking about the shock, as well. My Nomad was less than 1 year old, with mild use. The shock had the boost valve and XV sleeve with an orange sticker on it for some reason from Competitive Cyclist. The SB-66 had been a demo, but looked like it was in perfect condition. It did, however, have the kashima coating, and my Nomad did not.... but I doubt that equated to the difference. Volume spacers in my Nomad's rp23 made it worse, to my surprise... perhaps a more linear coil would make it feel more lively? My Nomad felt like it "sunk" into its travel and rode much lower, even when I was at the recommended sag. The SB-66 didn't seem to have that wallowing-deep in the travel feel relative to my Nomad. That's just my experience.

Yeti SB66 - Tested
I rode my friend's SB-66 and my alloy Nomad on the same trail. Both had the rp-23 shock. There was no question about it... at speed over rocks, roots, and the rough, the SB-66 was easily more "lively" and allowed me to ride faster.

No.. I wasn't thinking supermodels. That's for sure.

Shimano Southridge Winter Super D - Round 2
I grew up in L.A., 45 minutes from Fontana, and moved up to the Pacific Northwest. I never thought I'd say this, but that that terrain in the video looks awesome! I love all the rocks and choppy stuff.
