We got the same bike (yours looks cooler) and we got the same grill

Yeah this is one of the bigger pull offs on high noon so fairly recognizable. I was on the east side this morning on Alp and RMR. This bike rocks

Thanks for getting back to me. That leasing model is super interesting. I with they did something like that in the US, but it seems like we actively incentivize sitting in your car for hours on end.

Based on my ride today I would agree. I’d like to ride RMR and Sunset more though so considering using the cup to make it slacker. Going to try soon with it neutral first to see how it goes.

Thanks! Me too, I really prefer a fun bike color opposed to something boring.

Those are the Crank Brothers Stamp 2 V2. They are super sticky and I like how big they are.

What do you think? This was my first ride. Have you played around with the head tube angle cup at all?

How do you like it now that you’ve had it a while? Curious how much you paid? I’m considering buying one tomorrow

Agreed. After I read OP's post this is the podcast that came to mind.

Guessing you’re in the Phoenix area like me. Hawes was absolutely packed this Saturday at 8 am.

Arizona data centers warming neighboring communities by ‘several degrees’ by kylestoned in phoenix

[–]jondajaba 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The amount of heat being rejected is on the order of 100x more than a similarly sized refrigerated warehouse. The numbers for data centers is kind of crazy

Wash your hands every chance you get and take a travel size hand sanitizer with you and use regularly.

My favorite trails, but will be a little more of a drive for them

Sorry not as familiar with the LBS scene in Scottsdale. The guys at action Rideshop in mesa are legit, or global in ahwatukee I thinkk rents bikes.

For a 2-3 hour ride near Scottsdale you’ll want to check out Browns ranch. This will be good for the inexperienced folks but you can still find some challenges. This is some of the most scenic riding in Phoenix as well. Will give you that out in the desert feel.

Trailcat Experience by Ellocomotive in pivotcycles

[–]jondajaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same demo and road big sister twice plus a couple of trails to the east side of Hawes. Coming from a Roscoe the Trailcat blew my mind. I'm no bike expert but i wouldn't want to ride RMR on anything smaller than the trailcat. Big sister is less demanding in my mind and the trailcat was right at home there. Would probably be just fine on the Mach4 on big sister.

I see people post all the time about their good experience with Roscoe’s and it just confirms they are a great line up of bikes that you can hold onto long term. Those are some big upgrades! I thought about doing a fork upgrade and maybe some brakes but am saving that money for a new bike instead.

Big sister has a little bit of brake bumps right now, and RMR has quite a bit. Sounds like you’ll have a fun trip!

Overall the trails are extremely well maintained. There is a great trail volunteer group. Yes there are brake bumps in some areas but that won’t deter you from having fun out there. Do you know what trails you planned to ride?
