Video: Lighting Up the Trails for a Ride After Dark
@bizutch: I've owned everything from cheap amazon lights to expensive nightrider lights and I have to say the quality of the Gemini lights are far superior. As someone who night rides a handful of times a week, switching to the Gemini lights really made me enjoy those rides even more. The light beam is well diffused across the whole beam (no bright spot), the battery lasts as long as advertised and I have not had any overheating or battery issues (it's also relatively small for its output). Previously, I had purchased a more expensive light than the $350 Titan 4000. In comparison, the Gemini lights are far superior in every way. I can't rave enough about these lights. $350 for a high-quality Canadian product that pumps out 4000 lumens! That's hard to beat.
Also, the wireless remote links both lights together so that you only need to push one button on your handlebar to turn on and change the brightness settings on both your lights. It seems like a trivial feature but like the dropper post, you quickly become dependent on it and can't imagine a life without one.

Haha, you got it right!
In the jump section, I was completely blinded from the light reflecting off the dust. I felt like I was riding by braille.

7 Protective Frame Tapes Ridden & Rated
I always go to an automotive car wrapping place and get scrap 3M PPF for free. It's way thicker than the ride wrap, protects better and is self-healing with a little heat. It just takes a bit of practice to cut and apply it but It has protected my frames from major rock strikes and has kept the resale value high.

Ibis Ripmo XL
$5500 CAD2019 Ibis Ripmo that was bought at the end of February 2019
This bike has been amazing! Ask anyone who has ridden one and they will say the same. I am selling the bike as I am upgrading to a different color (when I ordered it they were out of stock). The bike has been wrapped with 3M automotive wrap so it is in pristine condition excluding some minor scratches. I have included photos of some minor scratches on the frame. I left some of the wrap on in the photos as I am going to continue to ride it while I wait to sell it. The additional wrap is on the chainstays but I thought I would take pictures while I am replacing the wrap in the area. I am in no rush to sell so send me your offers.
Spec:
XL Frame with fox DPx2 shock
Fox 36 performance 160mm
Sram XO drivetrain W/ NX cassette (the cassette is NX as that was all that was available at the time I ordered it)
Sram Code RSC Brakes
Ibis 50mm stem and aluminum 31.8 x 780mm bars (very comfortable), fresh green grips are included
Ibis 935 aluminum wheelset (honestly the best part of the bike, I was planning on upgrading to carbon but ended up loving the aluminum wheels!)
Not Included:
Chain guide, grips, cushcore & Pedals. I will be keeping these but have some fresh flats and grips for the bike
Send me offers or send me an email ( ) if you want any more photos.
