Video: How Slack Are The Bikes On The North Shore? - Daily Driver Bike Checks
@lukemech: stock. 45mm I think. The reach is definitely shorter than stock, but the wheelbase is longer.

Video: How Slack Are The Bikes On The North Shore? - Daily Driver Bike Checks
Running my xl Forbidden Druid with a 170mm fork and -1 angleset at about a 62 degree head angle. Getting about 163mm out of the rear with a cascade link and 8.5x2.5” dhx2 and some offset bushings. I can’t ride it fast enough!!! Nothing is too steep on it either… the trophy truck of bikes! Wooo!

Pinkbike Poll: Are Tire Inserts Leaving You Deflated?
Stopped breaking rims ever since I started running rimpact pro inserts on all my wheels. Use less pressure and have great grip and support! Still have had tire punctures, but they are a rarity now.
Run them front and rear with rekon exo+/ rekon race exo, assgai/dhr2 exo+, and ultra soft magic mary super gravity.
Absolutely love them.

GT Becomes a "Stand-alone Business" as it Returns to Southern California
Grew up wishing I had a gt performer, never got one…. Used to race a 26” thermoplastic I-drive on Hutchison pythons back in ‘05 or ‘06. Had an aluminum 26” Zaskar le hartail the blue and yellow one. Won a titanium road frame as a prime in a crit one time, but traded it for a trek stp soft tail. Ended up getting a size large sanction, but got rid of it only because I needed an xl instead.
All that to say, I loved riding all of those GT’s and enjoy remembering the rides I’ve had on them. Thanks GT and best wishes!

Video: Are E-Bikes For REAL Mountain Bikers?
Climbs and pedaling are like squirrel catchers. E-bikes allow people access to trails over their fitness and skill level. They are a physical cheat code.

8 More Bikes That Could Be Updated for 2023
I’m running my 2020 xl optic at 150/140+ with a 190/50 cane creek dh coil in-line and a cascade link.
It rides ridiculously well.

Commencal Supreme Sx Xl 27.5
$2000 USD2018 Commencal Supreme Sx size Xl Orange 27.5
Used. Good but not great condition. About 20 rides on it, but most were at Windrock, Shepard, or Ponca. All rocky dh parks. So, not very many miles, but definitely has been ridden. I don’t crash that often, but there are scratches and wear from use.
Gonna need new cables and suspension service.
Rear rim has a few big dings.
Dropper is ascend 125mm
Shwalbe Magic Mary 27.5x2.35 ultra soft tires mounted
Spare almost unused set of tires Maxxis dhr2 hr2
No pedals
Call or text me if you have any questions. Not trying to ask too much for it, and don’t want to be low balled. I just want someone to ride the crap out of it and have fun.
$2000 obo
