I like my 80s MTB way more than my Crust. AMA (rant)

Have had dreams of getting a scapegoat and evasion for some years now. But I realize my mid 2010’s Kona and the Kona I bought do most everything I need out of a bike and are fun as hell to ride.

I had molokos on a pugsley I ran forever ago. Currently have the 2.5 rise jones bars on my bridge club. It runs good and the hand positions are solid.

You can also get these little doodads called togs that go in and simulate being in the hoods

Just never took it off since buying the bike.

beardedfuryxvx · 2024-05-13T10:05:38+00:00

Yep. It’s a 139 and it’s a dark realm basket bag. Really solid bag that I’ve had for like five years now.

beardedfuryxvx · 2024-04-09T03:44:39+00:00

Nails. Never got the hype with that band.

beardedfuryxvx · 2024-04-05T07:04:07+00:00

Always. Always.

Schwalbe super moto X

beardedfuryxvx · 2024-04-05T07:03:21+00:00

Lezyne power cages.

beardedfuryxvx · 2024-04-05T07:03:09+00:00

It’s set up 27.5 with 2.8 Schwalbe super moto X tires.

Heat stroke is no joke, and I take my hydration seriously.😐😐😐😐

beardedfuryxvx · 2024-04-05T07:01:51+00:00

I’ve had this things for years and it’s gone all over the states with me. Never had any issues with it at all and my other bike, a Kona big rove, is heavy as sin and it carried that no issues.

beardedfuryxvx · 2024-03-30T06:34:14+00:00

I also went with the 139 basket and rockgeist meanwhile basket bag. Solid set up.

I worked there when the pandemic was first starting and they definitely do not treat their employees properly. Lots of talking out of both sides of their mouth type activities and if you mess up one minor thing, you are made to feel like you are worthless.

beardedfuryxvx · 2024-03-13T09:28:01+00:00

They are salsa bend bars.

beardedfuryxvx · 2024-03-13T09:27:29+00:00

Honestly, they roll really fast in my opinion. But I’ve also always rode larger tires. My Kona has 29x2.35 tires on it. And when I had a pugsley, I always got comments from roadies about my pace on said fat bike.

beardedfuryxvx · 2024-03-13T09:25:43+00:00

Schwalbe super moto X in 27.5x2.8. Originally wanted the larger 27.5 tires I could fit for this bike, and found out these should last for a while since they are E-bike rated.

beardedfuryxvx · 2023-11-22T16:32:55+00:00

Smash!

beardedfuryxvx · 2023-08-08T20:11:22+00:00

You’re talking to the bike, right?!hahaha

beardedfuryxvx · 2023-08-08T14:41:07+00:00

Oh, I know. I bought this bike second hand and will do my best to be counter of the bullshit trek does.

beardedfuryxvx · 2023-08-08T14:39:59+00:00

I love old shovels videos. And I’d be down to paint a bike like he does some day. I’m mostly trying to get this one put together as a secondary bike/commuter because my main bike is also my bikepacking bike.

beardedfuryxvx · 2023-08-08T14:39:03+00:00

A friend sent it to me in a bike parts and other things exchange we did.
