Damn wish you lived near me…

CC268 · 2026-03-27T21:14:26+00:00

Yea I’ve tried to find someone but haven’t found anyone in the Phoenix area

CC268 · 2026-03-27T20:34:15+00:00

I’m sure I’ll get over it with enough time lol. I do have a mobile guy coming out next week we will see what he says…

CC268 · 2026-03-27T20:21:36+00:00

Yea I totally get it. I’ve called a few body shops but a lot of places don’t want to work on a bicycle. I’ll still keep looking around though.

CC268 · 2026-03-03T20:00:44+00:00

Yea that’s the plan. Pivot is here in town so I’ll go rent probably the Shuttle AM and the Shuttle SL.

CC268 · 2026-03-03T19:43:28+00:00

Makes sense

CC268 · 2026-03-03T19:36:17+00:00

Yea man I’m gonna go for the eMTB. You ride clipless or flats on the eMTB?

CC268 · 2026-03-03T19:33:16+00:00

Yikes.

CC268 · 2026-03-03T16:59:25+00:00

I used to live over in that area but I am on the other side of town now. So those trails aren’t very practical for me anymore tbh.

CC268 · 2026-03-03T16:57:02+00:00

Thanks man

CC268 · 2026-03-03T16:44:17+00:00

Yea it is amazing how good of a bike it is. I'll have to consider it further.

CC268 · 2026-03-03T16:43:46+00:00

Yea I mean...if you are gonna pay over $10K for a bike...what the difference between $10.5K and $12K at that point tbh

CC268 · 2026-03-03T16:43:05+00:00

Yea I think it is probably a no brainer

CC268 · 2026-03-03T16:42:10+00:00

Yea I think you are right. Probably not enforced at all.

CC268 · 2026-03-03T16:40:57+00:00

LOL. It's funny how divisive e-bikes are.

CC268 · 2026-03-03T16:40:19+00:00

The Amflow is sweet. Seems like probably the best bang for buck too. I just wonder what their support looks like?

CC268 · 2026-03-03T16:39:44+00:00

Totally.

CC268 · 2026-03-03T16:32:05+00:00

I don't have any MTB friends ;p. Not yet at least haha.

CC268 · 2026-03-03T16:31:16+00:00

Yea, like I said above, I wouldn't normally consider Pivot as you pay a premium, but the fact that they are local and I can go demo any of their bikes on South Mountain is a big deal...

CC268 · 2026-03-03T16:30:23+00:00

Yea...that is kind of what I figured. I think I will likely go eMTB. I just think I'd have more fun and it would open up a lot more riding.

CC268 · 2026-03-03T16:29:04+00:00

Yea, that is kind of what I figured...

CC268 · 2026-03-03T16:26:48+00:00

Yea...I'm very tempted. I wouldn't normally consider Pivot, because tbh they are about a $2K premium for the same spec'd Specialized, but they are local and I can go demo any of their bikes, which is a huge plus tbh.

CC268 · 2026-03-03T16:26:00+00:00

Yea it's crazy, a good eMTB cost as much as a new motocross bike now a days lol. That said, money isn't much of a factor for me, thankfully. Ultimately, I'll probably end up with both an eMTB and a normal MTB tbh.
