Do You Mountain Bike?

How did you crack it?
Click to expand...

riding down pacifica hard, crashing a buncha times, wall rides... crashing in carlmont.

my guess is crashing fatigued it ,and when i bombed down the crack/mile at pacifica it probably started to crack from going down the rock areas with some decent speed.

I don't think you could beat the price I paid for the Joker

Take $675 away from your price and we have a deal :laughing
 
Classic, it's a shame with the laws out here, I used to take my buddies dog out riding all the time she would just run along and follow

Great stuff, you would get in some sort of problem with a ranger or some ass out there here in Cali

Really stupid if you ask me, and I already have one which is more than enough for me

Are you heading to the otter this year?

I may make it for the 1st year
 
I can has mountain bike????

Yeah, so I'm over the docile commuter bike and have decided to go full agro with a mountain bike that has at least 6" of travel because the dudes I hang with say that's what I'm going to need. I want a bike I can huck off 6-foot rocks.

With that said, I'm pretty serious about a Santa Cruz Nomad but want your opinions. Rox and the MTB crew, what you got for me?
 
Ask up in that MTB thread in the non-moto activities part. It's pages and pages long. Some of those dudes are NUTS.

I've heard about crack, I wouldn't do it with anything less than a DH rig.

Frames are too much $$$ to "get by with".
 
Check MTBR for any bike's review.
Warning it's worse than barf, full of know it alls, but you'll soon find out what's what.

It seems the jury is out on which bike is better between the Nomad and the Giant Reign X but regardless, they are both among the best AM bikes on the planet, .... and it just so happens that I have 2 Spectacular Reign X's for sale. Basically same frame but 1 is a medium and 1 is a large.

The medium is fully built and ready to ride, race huck, bomb, etc, .... and the large is just a frame, cranks and a headset but we could get it built up in a jiff. Both frames are in spectacular/or brand new condition.

Here is pix of the large Frame.

No pix of the medium as it's buried in the garage but if your interested let me know and we can chat.

I've ridden Crack/911 on my Nomad, and that day I was the only one without a DH bike riding down that trail...never again.

Same goes for riding my Nomad at Northstar, I wouldn't do it.

Depends on what you want to do with the bike.

Do you want something you can pedal around trails in the bay area or did you want a more of a FR/DH bike for shuttle rides/or riding chairlift assisted places like Northstar.

You're still in SLO, Beau? If Bishop's is open to bikes, I don't know anyone who rides it. Plenty of awesome riding out that way, with rocks EVERYWHERE - a 30 lb, 6" travel bike is totally in its element there.

Hey bro, I've built the reignx to 32lbs and still dropped picknic tables and 6-7 footers. Mine is now 34lbs with a badass wheelset. It's not boutique but it is the best all arounder I've ridden.
