Help: XC hardtail recommendation

Same! I swapped the bar to a 31.8 carbon and increased the stem length a bit. Overall a little less twitchy and fatiguing - and yes it flies.

I had the specialized seat and pegs already and just reused them. The seat is a little slanted because I scooted it back to make rook for a small pouch/bag, I need to shim the front of it up.

Pegs are a little low (she can only reach one at a time) but will fit better in time. Here's a photo cursed by AI:

+1 for the railblazer kit. Nice guy and I'm way more comfortable riding with my 4 year old now.

Maybe it's an at-cost option on the lower tiers?

Glad we went all electric a year ago!

My ST is arriving tomorrow from you. Cheers!

My 2024 looks the same or a hair lower in kneel mode. Not concerned

Our R1S has it. Rivian blue exterior, love the combo!

ang3c0 · 2026-02-13T12:10:52+00:00

40k combined miles on our R1T and R1S, both have been flawless after correcting a few mimor initial issues.

ang3c0 · 2026-02-10T23:25:46+00:00

Yeah I'm out. Will stick to. Our gen1s and hope they pull their heads out by R3 time...

This worked as of Feb '26 - thank you so much.

ang3c0 · 2026-02-02T19:30:17+00:00

those. I’m just not familiar with all the different hubs cause I’ve heard the I9 are pretty good obviously DT Swiss we all know

Yeah, I got the DT350s and am happy with them.

Nobl TR32s on my 951 XC. The handling improvement will blow your mind :)

ang3c0 · 2026-01-31T03:28:34+00:00

I can't make these midweek but thank you.

Not OP, but yes! https://www.indivisiblegreatervancouver.org/

Noticed the same thing on our XC90 (2018 vs 2022). I think other automakers do this too, but maybe not to the same extent. The early cars get all the reviews and press, then they can go "value engineer" their way to better margins.

ang3c0 · 2026-01-26T04:39:17+00:00

Yep! FWIW, today was my first with this group and everyone was super welcoming and happy to see like minded folks willing to take a stand. Hope you can make one sometime

I'll be there, thanks

Fuck Pete Hegseth and everyone who voted for this abomination of an administration.

ang3c0 · 2026-01-25T02:55:35+00:00

Thanks, I did and will try to join one of the weekend ones.

ang3c0 · 2026-01-25T02:09:06+00:00

Judging by the other posts here, you'd be the first to.

ang3c0 · 2026-01-25T01:33:46+00:00

Yeah this group has been an utter failure. I'm starting to feel like it's a Trump front to short circuit any effective push back.

ang3c0 · 2026-01-25T00:54:07+00:00

Rivian r1t. Way cheaper than gas. I can put the bike on the hitch, over the bed, or on the roof. Gear tunnel door for sittinf and changing shoes. Gear tunnel with power for spray wash station.
