Should I bin this carbon bar?

[Haakon]

haha. E3 all round I had thought, but good point about a V3 up front. Rotors - maybe, see how they play with centrelines first.

Black I think. Although blue would go with the bike, it might not with the next bike given I'd keep the Hopes!

 

[Kerplunk]

Or buy some Hopes... Or maybe those new Hayes.

Do you have an adversion to those XT/XTR stopper things that seem to work forever, don’t have the toxic oil, and don’t shred your bars when rotated?

Are you seriously trying to dissuade a mountain biker from buying unnecessary bling...? Shame on you sir.

 

[Ultra Lord]

Yeah! Wtf guy.



Go the V3 up front. More power never hurt anyone

 

[Ultra Lord]

Actually whats the weight difference? V3’s all round!

I can't believe there was ever a thought of something else. Always go big.

In a way I'm sorta pleased I had a proper stack - its literally been years since my last one. So either I'm just a gun rider who can do no wrong, or I've been too timid to push boundaries.

You'll never become a better rider if you don't push the limits here and there

Imagine how epic you would be if you owned a real bike!.

If its good enough for Jeff Lenosky, its good enough for me!

They don't pay you as much as they pay Jeff to like it...

Ha. True. But it doesn't seem to slow him down. Am curious as to why he is swapping sponsors though...

 

[fatboyonabike]

but its not good enough for Jeff anymore, He has just left Giant!

 

[pink poodle]

Ha. True. But it doesn't seem to slow him down. Am curious as to why he is swapping sponsors though...

Isn't he old?

I'd say it's about cash...

 

[Warp]

Isn't he old?

I'd say it's about cash...

I don't think he's getting more out of Reeb than Giant...
Anyways, good enough for our Josh Carlson.

Another random brand no one has heard of. Suggests Jeff has enough money now to play with cool stuff.

And doesn’t have to pretend anymore that Giants are cool.

Oh wait... dammit.

Giant got rid of him. He seemed pretty cut about it on his press release

Trance’s are a good bike. Ignore em dude.

[Haakon]

Huh. Wonder if it’s because of his own YouTube channel? Contract issues maybe.

And yeah, I like the Trance. It works for me.

 

[Brow]

I own a Trance and think it is great, but I would love a Ti beeR bike.

 

[pink poodle]

I'm sure the trance would be a fine bike, if it didn't sit well out in no-bike's land. Giant make a better xc/trail bike and a better enduro bike. I've known a few people who buy a trance and the realise they either need to lighten up or bulk up and loose out moving the middle of the road on. Usually after a futile effort to alter the spec and fix the ride.
