    Pivot Switchblade XL for sale - SOLD

    Thanks for saying that. I’m not trying to rip anyone off. I am using the bicycle blue book as a guide. I didn’t pull that number out of the trees. It’s a number that I think people will respond to and that I can accept without feeling like I got beat. 😂

    Pivot Switchblade XL for sale - SOLD

    I am 6’5”. Bike is probably a little small for me, but not many manufacturers go beyond XL in their range. For our terrain, and my style of riding it’s fine. I’m not a bike park guy. I’m a goin’ slow over the rocks type. They listed this bike as 6’2”+ at the time, but by the latest geo standards...

    Pivot Switchblade XL for sale - SOLD

    For sale: one XL Pivot Switchblade Race XT. Great trail bike. Was considered “enduro” when bought, but then geo got all slack and low. It is a 29er, but you have the option of putting 27.5’s on it. I will include the headset cup that alters the geometry. It is stock except for the bars and...

    Wawayanda State Park Conditions

    That’s OK because the park is closed.

    New to the site, also seeking input

    I concur with keeping your GT for now. I rushed the process and while I wound up with a great bike, I think that another year of riding would have seen me go a slightly different route. If you have any piece of you that wants to ride more aggressive trails I would go full suspension. Somewhere...

    Is less travel more for a slow rider?

    Lots of people like that bike. I have to believe a refresh is coming soon though. That and the Mach 5.5 are what the industry would call dated geometry. I loved the 5.5 when I demoed it. Do you prefer 29 or 27.5? I’m super tall so I feel like I should be on a 29er, but maybe a 27.5 is what I...

    Is less travel more for a slow rider?

    I think most bikes pedal pretty well now for sure. But just pedaling we’ll doesn’t make a bike nimble. That’s what I am looking for. I see the new Ripmo went slacker. Wonder if I can get the V1 at a discount?

    Is less travel more for a slow rider?

    I think that puts a lot of people off. When I mention to people that they should give MTB a try I think they think that they are expected to ride the most extreme stuff and all that. Does the industry a disservice. I think.

    You are better off. The new Jeffsy looks cool though. Sorry. ? The bike industry knows how to keep us coming back for the latest and greatest.

    Is less travel more for a slow rider?

    I am, as best I can. Where have issue is picking lines. The bike goes where it wants and pretty much over anything. Which is fine, but it’s just not the ride experience I am looking for. I wish someone would tell the bike companies that not all terrain benefits from slacker head tubes. It seems...

    Is less travel more for a slow rider?

    Have you looked in to the trade in value of your current bike? Rather than tinkering with your current bike maybe it’s better to get the money out of it you can and buy a more suitable bike for what you want? I bought mine and justified it by saying that it was the last I’d buy. But here I am...

    Is less travel more for a slow rider?

    I am definitely going to do that, and slide the seat forward. I think I’ll also take advantage of demo season when it rolls around. Then maybe decide what I want to do. The bike depreciates quickly so, I kind of want to maximize the trade in value as well. So there’s a lot of variables. I...

    Is less travel more for a slow rider?

    I should have clarified. Compared to the Mach 5.5 the SwitchBlade was more suitable to Creek. In fact most of the YouTubers commented on how fast and hard the bike likes to be ridden. Shuttling or lifting up and riding down doesn’t appeal to me, I’m not good at getting steezy or whatever the...
