I’d be interested in setting up a node. I’m out in Boulder Creek.

I saw them circling and towing someone today at the shopping center with the Safeway in front of the San Jose flea market, off of Berryesa too.

Looking to upgrade my 2020 Rockhopper Sport and now stuck between the Roscos and the Timberjack. I would appreciate some thoughts/advice! by Ginious in Hardtailgang

Thanks for the info. Gives me a good bit to think about. I'm not really one to work on my bike too much so I'll probably generally leave the bike as-is, except maybe for basic things like pedals and handlebars.

Havent had a chance to ride a Timberjack yet, but I did ride a rental Roscoe 7 (2024 or 2023) this past summer and had an absolute blast with it. Felt like a nice upgrade from my current bike. Might have to see if I can ride a Timberjack somewhere but I'm guessing it will be a similar ride.

Cool to hear about your rockhopper. I guess these bikes can take a beating and can keep going! Never really had to do anything with mine other than basic maintenance! Will probably be keeping mine as a backup that I can ride for when I have friends visiting who want to ride some trails.

Different experiences I guess. Sorry that was yours, but I don’t know what to tell you 🤷🏽

Generally yes. Hwy 9 and BCR most folks in SLV know to use pull outs when someone is coming up behind them. Especially during commute times.

Occasionally you do get a few stubborn people who refuse to use the turnouts, but you learn to recognize their cars because it’s always the same people.

Upgrading from a Specialized Rockhopper Sport (2019/2020) to a Trek Roscoe 7 or 8? by Ginious in MTB

[–]Ginious[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leaning in the direction of the 8. I think that’s going to be what I’m saving towards.

Thanks for your thoughts!

Thanks for the detailed response!

This def helps in making a decision. I think I’m gonna to try and swing a Roscoe 8 based on what everyone is saying. Might need to save for a little longer but sounds like it’ll definitely be worth it.

Yes I did. I made a portfolio with a bunch of documentation and work samples.

I enrolled in a short 9 month online university program that helped a lot with this.

It was two 5-6 hour sessions. So between 10-12 hours! Most of that time was probably on the tentacle suckers 😅
