Mar 17, 2026Forbidden Druid V2 29er, S3
$3200 USDAn upcoming international move forces the sale of my lightly ridden Forbidden Druid V2 complete. I built this up in 2024 after buying the frame from Forbidden and have ridden it much less than I should have over the subsequent year and a half of ownership. If you are looking at this bike you likely know what you're getting into. The Druid has a very unique combination of features and geometry that make it extremely confidence-inspiring on descents that most 130mm bikes would be out of place on, while still being a lot of fun on mellower terrain relative to a full-blown enduro bike. It has been great on my local New Mexico trails and I'll miss this one!
Build spec:
-2024 Druid V2, Dr. Greenthumb, S3 / large, 29er
-Rockshox Lyrik Ultimate fork, 150mm travel, with Slik Graphics matching decals
-Rockshox Superdeluxe air shock
-Sram X01 mechanical shifter, cassette (10-52t), and chain
-Sram GX derailleur
-DT Swiss EX471 rims on Hope Pro 4 hubs
-Formula Cura 4 brakes with Formula 200mm rotors
-Hope EVO crankset (170 mm) with Hope chainring (30t) and bottom bracket
-OneUp bash guard
-OneUp V3 dropper, 210mm
-Cane Creek Hellbender 70 headset
-Burgtec Enduro MK3 stem, 42.5mm length
-Chromag FU40 40mm rise handlebar, 31.8mm clamp
-Ergon GFR1 grips
-Continental Kryptotal Super Soft F / Xynotal Soft R tires, DH casing
-OneUp dropper lever
-OneUp aluminum flat pedals
Note - saddle not included.
The bike has been recently tuned up and is ready to go: brake bleed, shock air can and fork bath oil / seal service, new grips, new tires, new shift cable housing. One ride on it since service. Tons of steerer left on the fork to get your fit dialed in, and includes a variety of spare parts including a spare rim, brake hose, brake rotor, and Formula syringe bleed kit.
Preference to local sale, I am in Santa Fe New Mexico. If the bike doesn't move locally I will ship at the buyer's expense. The low-elevation trails around here are dry and Santa Fe makes a great roadtrip destination....

@Muddy-Runs: you can switch end caps on some hubs (like Hope) in a few minutes

Oct 12, 2024Hope AM 31.8mm clamp 35mm length stem
$50 USDSelling a Hope AM stem I bought new in 2022 and then swapped for a different stem almost immediately. It’s been hanging around in my toolbox and I don’t expect I’ll use it (prefer a 40-50mm stem personally), so letting it go. In great shape with minor “parts bin” wear as pictured.
Note I will be unavailable to ship from October 17 through 27.

First Look: EXT's Vaia Inverted DH Fork & Updated Coil Shocks
Impressive they got the weight of the fork to 3 kg with alloy tubes and 38.5 stanchions. Would be curious to try it - my only complaint on my Dorado pro is the fork loves to twist in the crowns. I suspect alloy tubes wouldn’t have the same issue by allowing for a higher torque spec.

@mikekazimer: that’s right, was thinking of short stems (rather than offset), thanks for the clarification

Gary Fisher should get the nod for short offset forks on 29ers.
