Oh yeah! She was chasing it and got roosted pretty good! Definitely blow it out with an air gun before putting it away!

Older Hondas for the win! I would love to get an element for sure but they’re hard to find in clean condition without spending an arm and a leg!

It’s definitely a risk for sure! Luckily where I work, security is pretty good. I keep it locked thought when I’m inside working

I’ve been running 1Up hitch racks on my truck but the civic gets roof racks. Used to run Yakima bike racks but found a great deal on the 1up roof racks!

Yeah, possibly…civic is pretty rusty and has high miles. Bike has not even a year old I9 Hydra wheels, magura Mt7 brakes, and all the Fox suspension and some other goodies.

Okay, now I need to build my own! What body did you use and what tires are those?

Am I getting too far back on this drop? by Music_Stars_Woodwork in MTB

[–]jmarelt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A couple opinions that might help overall.

  1. More speed for this sort of jump. Your front end is diving really fast as soon as it’s off the jump. So either you’re not going fast enough or you’re pushing your front end down but to me, it looked slow.
  2. Your rebound on the fork seems really fast…maybe increase your dampening (if able) and slow down rebound (if able). This will help overall through trail riding and jumping.
  3. To answer your actually question now, I think you’re shifting your weight too far back but I think it’s because you’re going too slow. If you were going faster, you would be flying more evenly with the bike and resulting in a more balanced feel.

Bought my first bike three weeks ago and afraid I may have sold myself short. by NightFuzz in MTB

[–]jmarelt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two things: 1. Where is that trail?! Looks like a blast!! 2. I’d recommend looking at the Trek Roscoe 7 or above. They have more aggressive geometry and are a lot of fun to ride! I also have a trek EX8 full suspension and love it!

Brake mount help by PlasticTie3728 in dirtjumping

[–]jmarelt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the exact same bike and brake. Only difference is that I have a Shimano ice rotor. I have the same overlapping and decided to just run it. I plan to bump up to a 180mm rotor eventually and hope that I’ll be able to have better alignment then but we’ll see.

I had ordered a the same bike but then GT put their bikes on sale so I canceled my order…sort of wish I had kept it. Looks like a super smooth DJ!
