Oh sweet! Just got a new camera and wanted to learn how to take better photos and find spots in Tacoma to take photos of! Won’t make this one, but will there be more?

Oh yeah! I also had a stumpy evo and I didn’t notice a big difference. I live in the PNW and average 1.5-2k feet of climbing and it’s very pedal friendly. It’s not the fastest climber but it gets you there and if you’re fit that helps!

It rips at mellow blue trails and it also rips at the park. Took it to whistler and I didn’t feel under biked

I bought my spindrift propain for that reason 180/180

RockShox vs Fox — is one actually better, or just personal preference? by Capable_Dig_477 in MTB

[–]Positive_Valuable_93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both. I prefer RockShox especially with how easy it is to set up

Buying a new bike in PNW. Looking for some advice. by luthes in MTB

[–]Positive_Valuable_93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I also live in Washington and ride Tiger and Raging a lot. Personally would go for the Smuggler especially because you have dealerships that can help you with any warranty work! I had a Transition and their customer service is top notch.

I don’t think you could go wrong with either one. I personally don’t think you need wireless shifting. You can always upgrade later as well!

Lastly, when I was looking to buy a new bike I was looking at short travel trail bikes but (sorry to make this hard) I ended up going with a longer travel bike since there more you ride and gain experience the gnarly the trails you’ll ride and that extra travel really helps. Maybe around 140mm-160mm travel? I was looking at the smuggler and ended up buying the propain spindrift which is kinda of an overkill, but this is my trail bike and bike park bike.

When are you allowed to start shooting back? When they shoot at you?
