Review: Öhlins TTX2 Air Shock
@thechunderdownunder: that's where I'm at. A friend at a shop recommended an Ohlins or Float X, but it has me thinking I may just be trying a bit too hard to change what the bike is.

@golfman1: they did, but Pon swooped in at the 11th hour with a better offer and the ability to remain independent. (Pon also owns car dealerships, so they have operating experience.) Much better deal for Mike's IMHO. But, if I were S, I'd be a bit salty with the rug pull, too. They're just trying to match Trek with the vertical play.

both got WC wins. Trinity was supposed to be a bridge to the factory team.

Hatherly, who IIRC beat Blevins at u23 XC worlds. Oops.

Nov 22, 2021Ripley V4 X01 sz Large
$5500 USDSelling my beloved Ripley because I'm moving to one MTB. This is a perfect Marin MTB. Pedals incredibly well, weighs ~28lbs, and has solid trail geo for most any downhill. Great for long days in the saddle or, in my case, 1-1.5 hour loops around Fairfax and Annadel.
~ Maintenance ~
I've serviced the suspension annually (seals and oil). No scratches on any stansions. Rear linkage still working great. Here's the recent work:
- Freshly serviced suspension (new oil and seals), no rides since and no scratches on stansions
- New chain & chain ring
- New wheels (takeoffs from a different bike)
- New tires (takeoffs, tubeless with sealant)
- All scratches/paint chips covered with epoxy
- Recently serviced headset bearings
- New brake rotors and pads
- Brake bleed
- Handlebars/stem barely ridden (swapped them out early on)
- New grips
- Crankset ~3 months old
Currently set up more on the downcountry side with a 130 fork, 2-piston brakes and a fast-rolling rear tire. I've run it like this and with a 140. I'll include the 140 air shaft in the sale.
