Thread: Show us YOUR ride:

The only thing I ended up having to buy was a new rear wheel as this frame has the newer Boost 148 width on it. Oh, I did buy a dropper post for it as well. After running a dropper on my fatbike all winter long, I can't ride without one now. I'm spoiled I guess. Anyway, I took it out and pedaled the Eagle Mountain trails yesterday. These trails were a good testing ground for a 1st ride what with all the embedded rock out there. The biggest thing I noticed was how soft of a ride the carbon frame feels compared to the harshness of my aluminum Superfly. That, along with the IsoSpeed decoupler, made for a really comfortable ride. My lower back felt pretty good after 17 miles, which I haven't been able to say for quite some time now.

    Hey Steve,

    Did you realize that your bike is missing the rear shock?!? You may want to contact Trek and see if they will send one to you.

    I feel like we've had this conversation before in some form or another. I guess some people never learn.

    In other news, I just picked up an Ibis Mojo 3. 27.5+ bike. I currently have 2.8 tires on it. So far it's been really awesome.

    Probably! Honestly, I've liked my hardtail over the past few years. I don't care about going downhill really fast anymore. With that being said, I would have bought a lower travel, lighter-weight, full-squish a couple of weeks ago if any were available. Trek has dropped the XXL (23") size frame choices from all of their higher-end bikes, though. The XXL size Procaliber frame-set was available so, I jumped on it before they decide not to offer it anymore either. The Procaliber is kind of a soft-tail and I've noticed it does take the sting out of the trail. Good enough for now.

    Nice bike. I still have a hard time believing it's the same frame I've got. On mine, the top tube and the seat stays are a nearly straight line from the head tube to the rear drop outs. Reminds me of how short I am, I guess.

    I love the bike though. So nice.

    I'm looking at getting one of these. How does it run in the 2.4 2.5 tires@

    Cool. So, you have the Procaliber? Which one?

    It's the 9.8. The light blue one. I love it. I think I put a picture up earlier in this thread. Maybe. I'll take a look...

    Edit: Post 269. Here's a couple of pics.

    Sweet! I've named my bike Frankenstein, as it's a mish-mash of parts. My component level is about like yours though. I am getting rid of the Sram XO brakes as they are 3+ years old. I just ordered XT's. So far, I love the ride. The combination of carbon frame and wheel and the IsoSpeed make for a very comfy, yet fast, ride.

    Sorry for the delayed response. I really like this bike, but have only tried it with 2.8 tires thus far. When these wear out I may experiment with the new crop of 2.6 or a 2.5. Not sure yet.

    i love that color...same as my fuel 9.8...



    Two wheels are better than four, keep the rubber side down.

    Is anodized aluminum back in style again??? Awesome. Purple looked great on bikes in the 90s and I like it on the new bikes too. That thing looks great.

    Yeah, until 10 years from now and it looks gay as hell...again.

    I remember those colors from the 90s...I had them sportin' all over the bags of my Ninja crotch-rocket. Wouldn't be caught dead looking like that now.

    I say git rid of the purple on that bike, then it looks badass.
    Suddenly my feet are feet of mud
    It all goes slo-mo
    I don't know why I am crying
    Am I suspended in Gaffa?

    This is true. It's a total fad, and will go out of style again. It also fades in the sunshine, so in a couple of years, the top of the levers is really light purple, and the underside is still nice and bright. I don't like too much of it, but a little bit looks good to me. Although, I preferred some of the other colors to purple. I remember my brother had one of those Paul Components rear derailleurs that was all machined aluminum and had the "rasta" anodizing treatment. It looked cool as heck, but that thing was a pain in the butt to get it to shift well. There is a reason Shimano and SRAM are the bosses in the drivetrain world.

    Aw snap, haters gonna hate, I just bought this bad boy today

    Plus sized tires will help riding in the snow too. For every wisecrack about how ebikes are for girls, I'm going to log a Strava ride
