Rocks my friend rocks... not boulders, plenty of loose rock trails at lewmo, especially on a few climbs :) although I do apologize for lacking the skill to attend trails with "real rocks" maybe one day...:D

I'll wash it before you see it at jungle, it will sparkle like brain new :)

I'm still too slow for that, my beginner status has gone up to bacon, still working on the sport aspect of it...

There is definitely a learning curve to this setup, tire pressures, leaning etc... but right off the bat I felt like I didn't go for the brakes as often on the downs and the grip was great in turns and probably the largest noticeable improvement was climbing without loosing traction.

Yeh, jumpa pretty much summed it up with the .gif, hehe it was tighter then a German virgin but after some sandpaper magic, taking off the edge by jamming some 80 grit sandpaper between the rear triangle and tire seems to be fine but just to be on the safe side I ordered a wtb trailblazer 2.8...

So today I finally picked up my specialized enduro 27.5 plus conversion from @jimvreeland, he did an awesome job setting everything up for me. Short breaknown of items purchased/needed for conversion; -27.5 wheelset with 32mm inner width 38mm outer (any width over 25mm should be sufficient...

Novatec hubs go for about 120-150 for a hub set, front and rear

Yes sorry, I am talking 27.5 plus, I ordered a set of the specialized purgatory, a set of the wtb bridgers, the bridgers will come in on Monday and the purgatorys, I have no idea, I was hoping the shwalbe and or Maxxis in their more aggressive treads will come out soon. The chronicle looks...

I ride a specialized enduro 29er with 160mm travel and a ibis mojo hdr 27.5 with 140mm travel and just recently sold my specialized stumpjumper FSR that had 130mm travel. I love having the extra travel, I'm 6'3 at about 195lbs and the longer travel just makes the ride so much more fun and...

Anyone know when any of the new plus size tires are going to hit the shelves? (Maxxis/shwalbe) Wtb trailblazers 2.8 are available but are really small around 2.6 in actual size Wtb also came out with the bridger 3.0, (I have a set coming in next week to test) Specialized is out with their...

Plans changed, won't be able to make it. taking a nice big log to the shin yesterday isn't helping any either... you guys enjoy your ride, hopefully j can make the next one

What time is the Sunday ride, would love a tour

What can I say... @jimvreeland is an inspiration & a beast any parts of his on my bike for sure will make me 20% faster, at least! And hanging by the shop kind makes me like a groupie, never been a groupie :)

agreed to extent, it's all about supply and demand, if there is no demand for rim brakes or very little & if disk brakes will appeal to a larger group of people, the bike mfg. will put discs on, or risk loosing sales to another brand that sells cross bikes with discs and uses that feature as a...

My point exactly, some "crazy" guy developed this "crazy" concept and here we are 30 some odd years later reaping the benefits. If it wasn't for someone thiking outside the box we wouldn't have all the options we have today. That's why I think it's a little unfair to insta-bash companies as...

While everyone makes a good point, I personally think the more options there are, better off the consumer. If anyone wants to ride their 26" bike for the rest of their life, go for it, no one is forcing a new bike on yee. All the different tire sizes and wheel sizes just give the consumer a more...

Just last night I switched to a 1x10 on my ibis, left the existing xt rear dérailleur with 10 speed cassette and threw on a 30t race face chainring, seems to be sufficient for the places I ride, before I switched I placed an order for an xtr rear dérailleur, xtr shifter, 11x42 xt casette and an...

Whatever they are selling, I'll be drinking :)

I was just trying to make like your hard tail and bust your balls a little ;) sorry for thread jacking! Back to 27.5+!

I stripped one of the screws on my big front ring while converting my ibis to 1x10, drilled the suckered out and luckily the bolts on the little ring were the same length to install my 30t race face chainring. Changed my specialized henge seat to a fizik aliante (thanks @jimvreeland ) removed...
