Maybe this is old news but I'm noticing a comeback with the alloy frames and less carbon. Loving it!

Feb 6, 202226" Downhill Front Wheel: Spank Spike 33
$75 USDSelling an extra front wheel I won't be using. I'm moving somewhere flat so I won't be riding DH anytime soon. This wheel came on a bike I bought used and works great. The previous owner drilled the presta valve hole to fit a schraeder valve and run tubes... I have no idea why. He also put a tan wall tire on it and then blacked it out. Its a good wheel and could be put to good use.

Feb 6, 2022Peregrine Gearbox Downhill Bike
$2500 USDSelling my downhill bike because I won't live where I can use it. It's really fun and set up as a 27.5 / 26 mullet.
Extra 600lb spring included. The installed 500lb spring works for me, I weigh 190lb and it sags nicely at 30%.
The gearbox is really fun to use. Easier than a cassette setup, you can shift while not pedaling at all.

Feb 6, 2022Onyx/WTB wheelset + tires + rotors + cassette)
$800 USDSelling my wheelset to trim down on my bike parts. before an overseas move. These wheels are ready to ride providing you've got the right brake positioning/adapters. The magic with these wheels is the instant (infinite), silent engagement that happens in the rear hub. Both hubs use really nice bearings so the rolling resistance is the lowest in the industry.
Video showing tech in the rear hub: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en1HhxKwdJo

Sep 4, 2021Wolf Tooth Seat Post Clamp - 31.8mm Green Ano
$25 USDBought the wrong sized seatpost clamp like a doofus and am now selling. I struggled to get it onto the seatpost before realizing it was the wrong size (too small). 31.8 is the inner race diameter, so the seat tube (the frame, not the seatpost) needs to be a compatible/similar diameter. There is some light scratching on the underside of the clamp (it'll be invisible when mounted) so that's why this thing isn't listed and priced like it's mint. I've never actually used it.
Buyer pays shipping.
