smokeumtires Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 So im just getting into it, and I KNOW I'm not the only one on this forum that does it, but are there any mountain bikers out there? I got a deal on a full suspension specialized about 2 months back and now I'm hooked! It's a FSR XC Just upgraded the handlebars to some Ritcheys, ditched the V-brakes for some Shimano disks with Aztec rotors and ordered some fireeye PJ acr pedals off amazon for a good deal. I do a lot of trail rides and some downhill stuff, nothing major, just to stay in shape. Show your bikes and post your ride pics here! Here's my bike,it ain't much but it's a shit ton of fun And here's a mountain view of a trail from 2 weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecco Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 My bike is old, and I haven't rode it for a while, unfortunately. Nice bike, though! Glad you like going as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armykyle1 Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 I was huge into down hill, I use to ride bmx bikes but getting to 6ft and 235 changed that lol I started with a specialized rockhopper, 6" humvee style forks, solid rear. Disc front V rear, great bike, better for flat style riding. I've ridin all types of styles, and down hill is my fav... I was hardcore into flat land/dirt jump bmx bikes. I ran a custom full suspension schwinn for a while until I got shot. Great bike, best for down hill though. 3-4" rear travel and 6-8 front, dampening on max since I weighed a good bit compared to other riders. Damn I miss it. I'll try to find pics if I can I'll take speed shifts(thumb index) over grips shifts btw Quote TEAM XS POWERTEAM HEAVY HERTZMy build- http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/194454-e46-bmw-build-pos/#entry2914134youtube- http://www.youtube.com/user/armykyle1big build starting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
