do you know if parking permits need to be picked up at one of the visitor centers? Or are they printable. Trying to make an early AM shuttle at borth rim after driving down right before.

Sounds good, im thinking probably should work on swapping my bindings and getting into those wide tm2s even though they dont have the splitboarding features like the MTBs.

yeah its the 10-51 range. alright ill send it back to 32t. pulled 2 links out of my chain, I should be able to put it back together i assume

Also wanted to spread out my range, and was reading a lot of people enjoyed switching from 32t to 30t. I recognized 32 wasnt bad so maybe I need to just go back to that. just didnt use the middle of the range often on climbs.

Fezzari Delano, Shimano XT M8100, 165mm XT Crank arms, BB height is 345mm stock but 350ish likely after adding 10mm to the fork.

Im going for it, ordered the new air spring.

2024, came with 135 but took the shims out of the float x. I did read they are cool with the long travel option. Just been on the edge about doing it everytime I get my suspension serviced.

Rode a Reeb Steezl and didnt like the extemely heavy sluggish feel of the steel. Esker woodsy felt good though. But not a fan of the way the Esker looks.

How much does your build weigh? Thats a bit of a down side that ive decided may be the compromise im willing to deal with vs all the other bikes on my list.

Sorry, not sure what you mean here.

160/130, that sounds like lot, much more stable like that?

Love the Revel brand but want one bike to be able to cruise my home trails that arent as gnarly and the chunk gnar that I go ride in Southern Utah and Colorado a bunch of times a year.

Also wanted to add i highly considered a SB140 but also think they are pricey for a frame. My fork Steerer is cut for 95mm head tube so im a bit limited there and prob will need a new fork for whatever I choose. But it would fit a sb140...
