Forbidden Druid w/ Carbon Wheels, Onyx Hubs
$2999 USDDruid v1 that's been Ridewrapped (full custom) from day one. Absolutely sick bike, but I have become a disgusting XC rider and roadie and I just don't give this bike the time it deserves anymore. Tons of upgrades, here's the build:
- We Are One Union wheels w/ Onyx MTB Classic hubs
- Hayes Dominion brakes
- Cascade Components link installed (but I will also give you the original link)
- GX drivetrain
- PNW dropper lever
- OneUp dropper post (v2 I believe)
- Fox 36 up front, Float DPX2 in the rear
- PNW bars and stem (alloy)
- Assegai front, DHRII rear
- Random dumb upgrades like a Ti shock bolt and color-matched fork decals (one of the pics here is older and has gray decals, you can see the color-match on the newer pic)
- WTB volt saddle (if you want it)
- Can also include composite pedals if desired
I will also throw in all the extra stuff I have, which includes an extra set of Vittoria enduro tires, at least one spare derailleur hanger, and even a Hayes bleed kit!
Prefer local pickup but I will ship it if the buyer pays whatever a local shop charges to pack it and ship professionally. I haven't asked but I would assume this would be $100-$250ish.

Details Announced for ITRS - 'A Standardized Trail Rating System for a Safer, More Accessible Mountain Biking Experience'
I'm sure Pinkbike commenters will hate this because they don't like change, and I have no idea if this system will be any better anyway... but can we all admit that the green, blue, black rating system is pretty worthless for conveying information? What constitutes "black" can be completely different in different places, and there's no way to tell whether a trail is black because it's got gnarly high speed tech, or big jumps, or tricky skinny features, or trials-y uphill moves, or none of the above but somebody decided "this trail is kind of tough" and so they just made it black.
Again, I don't know if the proposed system actually solves this problem, But I, for one, would love a rating system that communicates something what features a trail has.
(And before you say, just go ride it: gas isn't free. It would be nice to be able to quickly scout out a new system by just looking at ratings, rather than having to try to look up YouTube videos to see what's actually on the trail and whether it's the kind of thing that looks worth driving to check it out.)

You can still do that? I don't see how there's any problem with making more detailed trail information available for people who want that. If you don't want that, I'm pretty sure you can just go ride the trail — nobody's gonna force you to look at the rating.
