High Above Announces All-New Lightweight Nova Hip Pack
I’m a big fan of the new big shorts that have all the hidden tight pockets. Enough space for my cellphone and some food. Throw the baggies over and I’m g2g.

Apr 11, 2022Fox Float X2 Factory
$375 USD2020 Fox Float X2 Factory that I bought from a friend off his Ibis Ripmo, It was a warranty replacement for the tuned one that blew up on his Ripmo. Fox gave him a non-OEM version, hence the AM designation. He decided to go with a RS shock and I was the lucky recipient as it fit my bike. I've rocked it on my 2019 RM Instinct for the past few seasons although it hasn't received a whole lot of action as I've been riding my other XC bike and gravel bike more often / have been injured two summers in a row. Recently sold the XC bike and I want to upgrade the shock on the Instinct to be an all-arounder. It's in great condition but probably nearing its service interval. The X2 is an incredible downhill shock and would match a bike with downhill intentions. I'm just looking to get a little more pop out of my shock so I'm looking at something more trail-focused.
DX6S Tune Code
Part number: 973-01-267
Description: 2020, FLOAT X2, F-S, K, 2pos-Adj, FOX, AM, 210, 55, 0.3 Spacer x3, CM, Orange, Gray Logo
CM = Compression Medium tune so it should work with a majority of bike frame linkages.
$375 OBO. Buyer pays shipping.
I am going to remove the mounting hardware as its specific to my bike. So it will not come with hardware.

Feb 14, 2022Rocky Mountain Element BC Edition
$2050 USD2017 Rocky Mountain Element BC Edition XC Mountain Bike 29er
$2050 OBO. I will only ship if the buyer agrees to pay for shipping, insurance, and will accept the responsibility fotr dealing with damage etc. I have had bad experiences shipping bikes.
This bike has been one of the best bikes I've owned, but I want to get into splitboarding and I have gone full trail-bro. It is in fair-good condition and has been well used and loved but I stopped riding it consistently a couple of years ago as I no longer race XC. It's the OG down-country bike with a Pike 120mm fork. 100mm in back. I took the original bars off it but otherwise, it's very nicely specced. Pretty kitted out for the 2017 year with top-of-the-line stuff. It has a newer-ish chain and cassette on it. The fork is running smoothly but the rear shock needs full service for sure.
Please note: I did crack the down tube in 2019 when I rock got kicked up but I had it professionally repaired by Broken Carbon in Boulder who stands by their work. People think carbon can't be fixed and that's completely untrue. They did a stellar job (check the photos) and it has held up wonderfully.
It would make a great first mountain bike or anyone who wants a super-fast mountain bike that can handle most trails in CO.
Specs:
See BBB Picture...other changes:
Maxxis Rekon Front
Maxxis Ikon Rear
I took the carbon bars off and transferred them to my Rocky Mountain Instinct so it has slightly narrower bars from the 2019 Rocky Mountain Instinct. RM in-house brand.
Bontrager Verse Comp Saddle 145 but could switch it out for stock Giant saddle that's skinnier.
After the repair, I covered downtube in lots of All-Mountain Frame Protection
I'll include a carbon ENVE seat post as well for it.
I could also throw in a Maxxis Minion DHR if you wanted to BC-ify it again.

Mar 8, 2021Focus Mares - Custom Build
$2000 USDIt's time for me to depart with my Focus Mares CX. I purchased it to race CX but gave up racing a few years ago. It turned into my do-everything road/gravel bike. I am upgrading to something more suited to my riding style and for 2x gearing. I am 6'3" and this fits very well. I think it's well suited to someone > 6'1".
2016 Focus Mares XXL
Full Carbon Frame and Fork
Shimano PRO Stealth Saddle (It's very wide so I have spare WTB saddles if you want those instead)
Zipp Service Course SL80 bars
3T ARXII Team stem
Clement/Donnelly Ushuaia tubeless wheels
https://www.gravelcyclist.com/bicycle-tech/review-clement-ushuaia-gravel-wheelset/
SRAM Force shifters/levers 1x11
SRAM Force calipers
SRAM Force crank
SRAM Rival 1X derailleur installed (long cage to fit MTB cassettes)
Bonus SRAM Force 1X derailleur also included
Sunrace 11-46t CSMX8 Cassette Installed
Sunrace 11-42t CSMX8 Cassette as well from my other wheelset (I swapped out road/gravel wheelsets)
SRAM 46t chainring installed
SRAM 42t chainring included
Kenda Alluvium Pro 35c tubeless gravel tires with lots of tread
Brake pads were replaced this past summer and have over half their life left.
Pedals pictured are not included
It has only cosmetic scuffs and scratches being it's a little longer in the tooth but otherwise, it's in great condition. You'll notice the biggest scuffs are from cable rub which I've remedied by adding All-Mountain Style frame guard. I also added this to the downtube to protect against rock strikes. No cracks in the carbon etc,.
It's super stiff and fast and reasonably compliant. I honestly think its one of the best CX race bikes ever made/designed. If you're looking for a CX bike or do it all fast gravel racer, then this could be the bike for you!
Asking $2000 or best offer. I'll ship if you pay for shipping (bike flights, local shop, whatever works)

BrakeAce's Power Meter Is Designed to Help Riders Improve Their Braking
A lot of hate and "just ride your bike" comments. Maybe go do that and stop shitting on people who work on this stuff or find it interesting. Sure, this might not be needed by us commoners, but for pros I bet this is really valuable information.
I'd argue this is probably more useful than a power meter for a lot of XC guys on race day. This really gives you more of an understanding of how smoothly you rode a course than your power outputs. High power output events are generally remembered, but constant inefficient braking less so. When used together, what would be interesting is to see power spikes coming out of turns following inefficient braking or braking through turns. One of my biggest kryptonites racing is generally sucking at tech bits or finding myself exiting things more slowly than I want and being forced to power back up to race pace.
I'm curious to see where this will be adopted, if at all.
