May 25, 2023Guerilla Gravity MegaTrail MX
$2700 USDOkay, you know what's really cool? Hucking yourself down a cliff after having a child.
That's joke of course, but it's a good pretext for why I'm selling this beast of a machine.
But, what is this machine? Check it:
Size 2 (medium) Revv'd carbon front triangle, aluminum rear triangle. Two travel options from changing the shock bolt location- 166mm and 150mm. Also, for another $200 I'll throw in the Shredd DDogg seat-stay setup with a RockShox air shock. THIS IS CURRENTLY SET UP AS A MULLET. Le Moulet. For the record that means a 29er front wheel, 27.5 rear wheel.
Fork: Marzocchhii Z1 Coil, medium spring, just serviced by Traction Works in PDX. It's currently 160mm but can be adjusted from 150mm to 170mm.
Shock: Rock Shox 2022 Super Ultimate Deluxe coil, Sprindex 390-440 coil, , needle bearing rear shock mount, just serviced by Traction Works in PDX
Handlebar: SqLab high 30 carbon 12 degree back sweep (also willing to swap in a Syntace 8 degree backsweep bar, 20mm rise)
Gripz: Lizard Skins Danny Mac push-ons
Stem: i9 A35 32.5mm stem, black, short, 31.8mm bore. (I know the photos show the Syntace stem, I stole that one for another bike and can't be bothered to take another set of photos, sorry.)
Headset: CC 40, whatever, right?
Brakes: Formula cura 2 piston, 203mm front rotor, 180mm rear rotor
Wheels: LightBicycle Recon rims, 29er front, 27.5 rear, Sapim CX-Ray spokes, DT Swish 350 hubs, HG driver, 6 bolt because frankly I loathe centerlock
Tires: Magic Mary 2......4? 3? (Whatever) on the front, soft compound, Rock Razor 2.3 on the back, Addix speedgrip compound
Cassette: Garbaruk 11 speed, with TWO extra aluminum large gears! No worries about killing your expensive cassette by grinding just the large cog and throwing out the rest. Just unbolt it and boom- you're back in business.
Chain: Sram 11sp XX1
Chainring: Absolutely Black 30t oval
Cranks: XTR
BB: Wheels Manufacturing ABEC 3 with brand new bearings
Rear D: XTR 11sp Di2
Shifter: XT Di2
Seatpost: BikeYoke Revive 213mm dropper
Dropper remote: Wolf Tooth light action
Saddle: SqLab Active 6.....11? 13? whatever, it's the one that pivots, chromoly rails
EXTRAS:
Di2 charger
(2) extra pie-plate cassette gears (gold, cause...it's funny)
32 tooth Wolf Tooth round chainring (brand new)
MTX Red brake pads (2 sets)
Formula brake bleed kit
So- you love it? You want it? Come and get it! Please, please don't make me ship this. I will, but I hate packing bikes and I'll charge you $100. How about this, come pick it up in Portland and I'll buy you a burrito. It can even have shrimp in it. Seriously, I hate shipping bikes.
Price is firm, yet supple (like a well set up suspension fork.) I take Apple Pay, Venmo, PayPal if you want to pay 2% extra or whatever their charge is.
Shoot me an email, and for the love of Dog do not offer me a trade.

Short or Long-Travel: Which Is The Best All-Round MTB?
I have one bike- Guerilla Gravity MegaSmash (or whatever it's called in mullet configuration 165mm f/r,) but because my rides are almost all winch and plummet with limited flat and rolling bits I go with Magic Mary soft front, Rock Razor rear. It rolls fast, and if I run out of traction on the back it's cause it's too wet for me to be riding these trails (clay/easily rutted) so it's a perfect barometer for if I should or shouldn't be out there.
If I lived someplace like north Shore where the trails can handle wet weather riding it'd be a different story, and I'd probably have to push dual Marys uphill- but thankfully I can get all the benefits of low rolling resistance without too much worry of sketchiness of the semi-slick.
Try it, if you're used to something burly out back, the Razor feels like you just dropped 10 lbs.

I like how the 'allez, allez' get quieter and more wheezy as the race progresses.
