$60 USDI've got a number of these forks left over after my BMX brand folded in 2017. They're brand new, never ridden, but they have moved several times, and may have some minor cosmetic scratches.
165mm steerer, 366mm axle to crown, 33mm offset, integrated crown race for 45/45 integrated headset.

Shimano Releases New Shoe Lineup
Leatts have an interesting combo of burly uppers and flexible, skate-shoe-like sole feel. Not my favorite for keeping planted through bumpy stuff, but would be a great jump / flow trail option. Best grip in the boa flats is the Ride Concepts Tallac Boa. I'll just leave this right here. https://theradavist.com/boa-equipped-flat-pedal-mountain-bike-shoe-review/

Jul 17, 2023Scott Ransom 900 Tuned
$3300 USDFor the four years that I owned this bike, I always had other bikes to ride, so its actual mileage is relatively low.
Only the frame, shock and fork are original, though I upgraded from the 3-position FIT damper to Grip2 and swapped the Syncros headset to a Cane Creek 40 immediately. The ENVE cockpit and wheels, XTR cranks and brakes, and 200mm Reverb post were added in late 2019.
Upgraded to a BB Infinite one-piece bottom bracket in 2020. Creak-free press-fit for two and a half years.
34t XTR chainring, XT cassette, XT derailleur, and XT chain are all BRAND NEW, never ridden. Same with the brake pads and rear derailleur cable and housing.
All frame pivot bearings and hardware were replaced just before putting the bike on sale.
I use an above-bar Twinloc remote lever because the all-in-one under-bar remote the bike came with would not work with my hydraulically-actuated Reverb post. Also, it didn't put the dropper control in a comfortable location. And lastly, it was designed to double as a lock ring for Syncros grips, which I found were too thin for me. Still, it is cleaner-looking, and I'll include it with the bike if you want to eventually swap back to it.
Also included is a professionally made custom frame bag by J-Packs. Two zipper on the main pouch, accessory pouch on the non-drive side, hydration hose pass-through in front of the main zipper. Bolts on at the bottom, bungees on the top. It's a $300 bag, yours with the bike.

Tech Tuesday: Why Are Spoke Nipples Brass?
Hey all! Travis Engel here. Just wanted to clear up some confusion. Although I'm not working with any of Outside's publications right now, Pinkbike did run all this by me before any reposts started. Also, I was able to give feedback about which stories I thought would be more or less relevant. I'm pretty stoked that they're getting more eyeballs, and it's been fun to see the responses they've been getting ... except maybe for the whole Gorilla Tape thing. Point taken.
