Great ride today in the e-bike group. Thanks @jdog for switching rides with me for a bit to save battery. I need to learn to not ride boost too much but is was so much fun. Made it back with a flashing red bar to spare
so I jumped in the e-bike pool. I have been waiting but I have some friends that only ride them so riding with them was not possible. I haven't ridden it yet because I still want to get my fitness back up on the acoustic before I mix it into regular rotation. I went with the Marin Rift Zone E2...
I have used the Air liners for years but recently took them out because I felt it did let the tire corner the way it was intended due to the way they filled a good portion of the tire volume. I wanted to try these because they look like they will allow the tire to roll and still give good...
This is great. I'm also going to let my daughter read this. She is currently a junior in high school studying biomedical sciences with the goal of continuing into Pharmaceutical school as well. Good luck in the future with balancing the racing schedule and your education.
Upgraded my rear hub on the Instinct to a shiny new orange I9 Hydra. After having the I9's on my other bike I had to change this. Once you have the instant engagement its hard to go back.
GT is having a buy one get one sale on all BMX bikes until November 30. If anyone is looking for BMX and could use 2 instead of 1, sounds like a good deal. Use code DOUBLETHEFUN on checkout.
I personally don't have much riding experience on the Marin. I got my wife the Rift Zone 2. I rode that for a bit but it is small for me. The suspension feels plush. Not sure how it affects climbing. She's only ridden it once!
We also have the Marin Rift Zone 29 XR in Medium for about $2500 on sale now. Comes with XT and Fox/Marzocchi.
