I’m too much of a brute for carbon fiber and crash into gnarly rocks too much. New rear triangle is on the way......they make you destroy the damaged part when it is replaced under warranty?
so you cracked the 5.5 then cracked the 150 that replaced it? damn thats a bad stroke of luck.I cut my bike in half today

Yea, bad luck really. Had the bike wash out from under me on loose pebbles/rock garden gnar really quickly at mountain creek and a pointy rock happened to get the seat stay and cracked it. Nothing i could have done. Carbon bikes are great if you dont ever crash. I bet more and more manufacturers start making aluminum bikes with high end components in the near future like the Ripmo AF.so you cracked the 5.5 then cracked the 150 that replaced it? damn thats a bad stroke of luck.
damn that sucks. i really want to upgrade my 5.5 to the sb150, maybe next yearYea, bad luck really.

Its a nice upgrade but the 5.5 is no slouch. The 5.5 might even be a better all around bike. The 150 excels at going fast at 100%. The 5.5 is more relaxed but can handle anything you throw at it.damn that sucks. i really want to upgrade my 5.5 to the sb150, maybe next year
What fork is that?...and prepped for mixed singletrack and gravel bikepacking mode with the 29+ wheels
I may remove the spacer under the stem thanks to the ~2.5in riser bar.

Ice Cream Truck, 150x15What fork is that?
I made a completely pointless purchase considering I had a perfectly fine xtr 11 speed but I couldn't resist the upgrade-itis.
Slx cassette chain and derailleur xt shifter. I forgot the dumb move I made when I rode it. It shifts unbelievably even when putting power down. Hyperglide is worth the hype.
