Ready to race!
I was wondering if anyone else on here shared the passion? I grew up bmxing & currently have been mountain biking since the late 90's. I mostly ride xc, but over the past few years I picked up a all mountain bike & have been tackling some more technical trails.
I have alot of friends that do downhill, but I'm pretty happy with the am riding. I don't really want to start another hobby & pick up another bike. I'm currently on a Trek remedy that has alot of upgrades. The 6" suspension I feel is a great do it all set up as I can tackle some big drops or dirt jumps, but she can still climb when she has to, sure not as well as a xc set up, but I have fun. I have a weird build & I just feel real confident on a beefier bike.
I've been going back and forth with picking up a new bike, possibly a transition bottlerocket. Though, I admit if it isn't broke why fix it. Think I'll ride the Trek until I crack it & then I'll see how well the Trek warranty is.
I figured this would be a good place to post pics of your bike & what's been done to it. Also we can discuss/post pics of diffrent trails & places we ride, and discuss some of the gear we use. I'll start it out:
2007 Trek Remedy aka "project goldtooth"
mods:
Forks- Rock Shox Domain 318
Rear shock- Fox DHX Air
Crankset- Raceface Evolve DH w/ Raceface(gold)BB 36/22t
E-13 two ring chain guide
gold tooth bashguard
Azonic 402 gold pedals.
Sram X9 Front and Rear shifters
Sram X9 Rear derailuer
Bontrager Big Earl 50mm stem
Spank Royala 30 gold handlebars
Chris King gold headset
Hayes Stroker trail brakes w/ 8" rotors
Spank Subrosa gold rims w/ Earl hubs
Kenda 26 x 2.40 telonix tires
Spank saddle and Salsa seat clamp
Stolen lock on grips
I have some new parts going on this spring: twent6 pedals, levers, bar caps. Also a drop post:thumbsup:
