No Skid Marks
Blue Mountain Bikes Brooklyn/Lahar/Kowa/PO1NT Raci
Not sure if it’s because I’ve barely ridden in two years while doing the parenting thing, but this thing is fricken awesome and stoked to be selling them. I now get why the customers rant on about how happy they are. Just need to get some fitness back.
Rear end felt awesome. Was worried I’d made the wrong choice getting the Cane Creek shock over the Fox, but it rides so smooth. Let down by my budget second hand Pikes that really felt aweful compared to the back, but will give them a lube and prayer. Thought I had some skills still, when I could flick the rear out in the air with ease, wasn’t till my mate who took it for a couple of hour ride mentioned he really noticed how light the rear felt(no cassette and mech) that the penny dropped. A bad craftsman should always blame his tools.
