Henry’s Waffle House: Mountain Biking is Getting Too Easy
I absolutely love switching back and forth between my full suspension and my hardtail to make things harder. I agree that the sport is more satisfying if it’s harder even if the new bikes are “better”. At some point an Ebike with traction control and antilock brakes is coming for all the fat unskilled lazy folks and I’m sure they’ll think it’s great.

$800 CAD******This bike is in Sechelt, BC, Canada*********
This bike hasn’t really been ridden since about 2017. Within its last 100 kms or less of use it got a new drivetrain (chainrings, cassette, chain) and a new wheelset, Stan’s Arch with Hope Evo 2 hubs.
Still a ton of life left in it for someone, maybe even a commuter. Size medium.
This is at my father-in-law’s house and can be picked up there. Very close to the corner store on Mason.

Apr 22, 2022Commencal Meta HT 20” hardtail
$900 USD2020 Meta Hardtail 20”
Upgrades/changes from stock include KS 100mm dropper post. Also have swapped to a 30T chainring and 2.2” quality Kenda rubber. Tubeless compatible and this sale will include the valves but the rims are not taped. 23.9 lbs as shown.
I also have the 2.6” Vee tires this came with, and 20” Tannus inserts (the kind with tubes) for lift-access days, and an unused pair of 20 x 2.6” kenda tires.
Sale will include the stock rigid seatpost and the qr seatpost clamp.
The only bummer is the damage to the back of the left fork lower from being on a bike rack against a flat pedal. It makes me cringe but it happened very early into the ownership of this bike and hasn’t affected performance at all.
At this point I will only consider local pickups with cash only .
Bike runs great with a 30T chainring and will come with a 32T. Only reason for selling is my boy has grown into 24” wheels.
Reasonable offers considered.

Pivot Releases New Les SL Lightweight XC Hardtail
The STA and reach are the same as a Nomad 4. Funny how things change in 5-years. A 2018 “freeride” or “shuttle” bike gets better at climbing every year as it’s now XC. Except for that 170 mm of travel and 65 HTA of course which is now way too steep to properly descend with.
