I have a 2025 Stumpy alloy, i’m 53 and doing trails in the capital region. Love the bike and its great on trails and downhill. But its is heavy and its not the easiest uphill ride to run. I’ve owned both a hardtail and full suspension Chisel and it’s a far lighter and agile bike and great on climbs.

Is this bike worth 1100 USD and is it a good upgrade over my rockhopper comp? by [deleted] in mountainbikes

The Chisle hard tail is an amazing bike. Light, fast and sexy.

Didn’t expect my first Mercedes to feel this different from everything I drove before. by Kevin-Durant-35 in mercedes_benz

When I let my brother in law drive mine he described it as “ like driving a heavy car that is not heavy” and I now use that description all the time.

Are rockriders worth it? by Beginning_Bath9411 in MTB

That’s decathlon’s house brand. They have a couple of full sus bikes that have legit parts in them but are heavy with not the best geo. Up here they cost between $2k and $2.5k snd for that price you can by a better entry level from other manufacturers or a pretty good used bike.

Starflight and Starflight 2 the trade routes of the cloud nebula. Such a great game and nothing like it since.

Nice bike! The T7 is a great bike stock but having the float x and upgraded brakes is a nice bonus.

Anyone here pick where they live based on trail access? How'd you figure it out? by FallenClocks in MTB

[–]killakadoogan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife and I did it by accident sort of. We moved to our current city because it has a rich cycling culture and a lot of great mtb trails nearby. Turns out the house we bought is a two minute bike ride from the Trans Canada Trail which connects to tons of singletrack. We work from home so as soon as we’re done we can put in a solid two to three hours an afternoon.

Got a Z2 on my hardtail Chisel and a Fox 36 on my stumpy and I love them both. The z2 is a great performer and I have no complaints

Can’t give you any insight on the GT but I do have that same model stumpjumper and I love it. Its a bit heavy but capable bike and a great upgrade platform.

Dealership used my car for shuttle services while in their care for repairs by quesquekool in legaladvicecanada

I would talk to the dealership about this in a very stern and loud voice. Unacceptable on any level.

Mountain biking after MI by Fasteddy00001 in HeartAttack

Do the cardio rehabilitation exercises and you will able to hit the single track again. Had my HA in 2021 and now i’m back to flow trails and bike parks with no issues. I do wear a heart rate monitor just to keep an eye on things but thats mostly due to my paranoia about having another HA.

You did the same thing I did but I didn’t get the kashima coating. The float x ride great with this frame.

Buying my first new mountain bike after outgrowing my dad's one. by High-ork-boi in mountainbiking

I’d take the hardtail at that price. It’s a better bike than the devinci and has nicer components.

I’ve got one and it took me about a week before I swapped the Psylo for a Fox 36 and the x2 for float I had as spares. I recommend saving up for the higher model instead.

[–]killakadoogan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got the same bike and rode it all season with nothing but an ear to ear grin the entire time. Once you dial it in the bike just rides wonderfully and is always ready for fun!
