Sports MTB Madness!

What do you think of the new shimano m8020 brakes. Basically just saint calipers with xt levers?

I’m not sure you need the added weight of them honestly. Plus I don’t think they’re really out yet. Unless you’re doing hot laps at a dh park I think regular m8000’s are good. It’s what I have. I went back and forth on them vs the code rsc. Just don’t buy anything that says guide.

My girl is all happy

HALP.

Bike got stolen last year and it’s warmed up enough to where I want to buy and ride again. Having a hard time deciding what to get. 80% of my riding is going to be paved asphalt/concrete and the rest gravel.

For riding around the city I’m sure I’ll be fine one some cheap fixed gear bike from the shop around the corner. But I like riding “long” distance 30ish miles, and regularly ride he trail around work which is all gravel.

Only have space for one bike and thinking something like a cyclocross/adventure/gravel bike would be the best for where and how I ride

I was eyeing those Niner RLT gravel bikes for awhile. Kind of in the market for one again also. I want something that’s kind of like a road bike but more durable and comfortable.

So stoked, finally picked up a bike! Ended up getting a Trek X-Calibur 7. Did 10 miles on it today, so much fun.

I think I actually want a Santa Cruz bike for out west.. which means I'm probably going to offload my Trek Superfly 100 Elite SL 19.5 Carbon setup. Just a matter of when and if I can actually get out and use the damn thing once my schedule frees back up some soon.

I can’t get enough of Santa Cruz bikes. Had a Hightower Lt for a bit and now have a Nomad. I kind of want a 5010 when it comes out too.

My cruiser for the week

 

[Omicron]

Just picked up a new ride for season:

Might hit up some places this weekend to test it out

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Oh hey I have one of those too

 

[DanJ]

Kind of thinking about picking one of these up. I like the Niner RLT’s but don’t feel like spending that much on something I just want to cruise around on.

Plus since Taj owns it, you basically are still riding a bmx bike

I love the aggressor as a rear tire. Never used it on the front, I run the dhf up front. Another good tire for you would be the specialized ground control.

Ordered a yeti SB130 Lunch ride yesterday. They’re out of black for a while so settled on turquoise.

Components seem decent enough and I’d probably just swap my wellgo magnesium’s over and leave it alone. Maybe upgrade wheels after awhile. I tend to buy things then go apeshit upgrading things that were fine in the first place. I liked the simplicity of the BB7 discs before I switched to hydros.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Simple and ready to rip for sure. 1x11 sram is tried and true

All the confirmation I needed . Will be moving back home shortly and trying to be not fat. Could even ride to work.

Epic lil ride this morning to test out the new aggressors..

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

New bike day. Too bad it’s currently snowing, hopefully I can get out Wednesday or Thursday morning.
