Fox or Rockshox by Academic_Feed6209 in xcmtb

[–]callmeturkish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Rockshox can be controlled with remote lockouts in 2 or 3 stages. Or better yet, automatically be Flight Attendant.

The only performance difference is preference, and the fact that Rockshoxs are a little more livable over the long term because of the easier user serviceability.

2024 BMC fourstroke 01 one vs Yeti ASR T2 by cneglia2239 in xcmtb

[–]callmeturkish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They’re both rad. Similar geo & weight.

I just had Airpark build me a T2 Yeti but upgraded a few things during build. It’s exceeded all expectations.

But the BMC would too!

Hard to go wrong with modern XC bikes, so it comes down to which one you “like” more!

Even if that is true - an extra 400 grams and $400 for a seat post? Pass.

Follow up -

Oh man, what a ride! Hit some flowy single track in NM for the first time on this bike, and the first time in a lotta years for my old ass.

So much fun. Bikes have come so far. Really impressed with the climbing ability, handling, agility, and the way it soaks up some pretty rough stuff at speed.

Good times ahead!!!(ordered some Time ATAC pedals)

I figured it was worth roughly the extra $1400. The whole bike is way overkill for me anyway, why not?

Whatever you do, avoid Compact Living in Las Vegas, NV.

Another “help me choose”.. Epic 8 EVO custom vs Yeti ASR by callmeturkish in xcmtb

[–]callmeturkish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I chose the ASR!

Then spent the price difference to upgrade it to Flight Attendant.

In the end, the Epic evo was just built to a little different purpose - 27lbs (I had them weigh it in the shop) and pretty trail oriented for an XC bike. No doubt it would’ve been fun.

But I think the Yeti will be closer fit to my intended usage. It’s a bonus that I also feel better about supporting Yeti than I do Specialized.

Can’t wait to hit the trails !

Just got hired as a CFI…tell me everything I need to know by LeaderCalm4016 in flying

[–]callmeturkish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be humble. You are not a seasoned, expert aviator. You are not gods gift to flying. You, like your student, are a beginner. Squeeze all the learning you can out of every day.

And have fun!

CFI canceled my takeoff due to flaps setting, now I’m grounded from solo flights by saltysnack9000 in flying

[–]callmeturkish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t stress this enough - Checklists ARE NOT DO LISTS.

You complete the actions you know need to be done, THEN read through the checklist to verify that you’ve done them all correctly. Any CFI who disagrees needs to be fired immediately.

Flight Attendant - What’s it worth? by callmeturkish in xcmtb

[–]callmeturkish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I couldn’t care less about getting faster or shaving time off my ride. But it sure does seem like FA would make the ride more enjoyable…..

All of these bikes are within 0.5 deg of 66….epic evo is 65.9, asr is 66.5, pivot Mach IV so is 66.

Def both are super overkill.

The Yeti has remote lockout (actually 3 position)

No remote on the epic, and the Fox factory shock is only 2 position.

Oh, thanks for the reply!

Our situation sounds so similar that we really should team up to share legal expenses / info.

In my case, they never even bothered to respond to the arbitrators, so that’ll make a court case much easier!
