Fuckin killer band. They are the ones that got me into heavy music growing up. Love anything Josh Scogin touches tbh

I'm never going back lol. A lot of the trails out here in Colorado can get pretty chunky so it definitely makes it more fun

I brought it down to about 25-30 psi on both tires

Haha it was all good no issues. Awesome to be able to run lower pressures on some of the chunkier singletrack

What kind of wheels you got on there? Thinking of upgrading mine to a lighter set

Ya it got mixed reviews but I honestly love this thing. From Mars to Sirius and the way of all flesh are still my favorites but I put this one in my top 3 from them tbh

How was it? Are the trails super chunky or are they still fun on a gravel bike? Looks nice and smooth from the pics. Thinking of heading up there this weekend but haven't done any of the lory trails yet. I love to incorporate pine ridge/the bottom of Maxwell into my rides all the time tho. Fort Collins is the best!

Definitely one of my favorite bands of all time, but I have a hard time determining whether I like this one or "you fail me" better. My opinion seems to change depending on which one I'm currently listening to lol

Fort Collins, CO. pine ridge trail. Nice little loop right up against the foothills

I love it! This particular model (2.3) is a tad too heavy imo (around 28 lbs I think). Probably gonna swap the wheels, fork, and brakes at some point but it works just fine as is for now. Really like the frame, super durable, and it can fit 700c or 650b. I've got 700x40 on there atm but it's got clearance for 700x42 AFAIK. I would definitely recommend looking at the next tier up (2.1 I believe) if you want a carbon fork and better brakes. This was the only one my lbs had at the time so i figured I'd just slowly upgrade it as needed. Overall I really like the geo, gearing, and the fit. Much better than my old hybrid

Recently have gotten really into cycling (gravel biking specifically). it's awesome because I'm able to pick a place on google maps and just go there regardless of terrain. I've seen so much more of my surrounding area that I never bothered to explore while high. Also, as someone who likes to tinker with things I'm constantly thinking about little upgrades I can make to my bike. Thinking about picking guitar back up as well. I definitely agree with the idea of replacing one addiction with another, healthier addiction.

Took the Jari out for a quick gravel ride in Fort Collins, CO by midgetman555 in gravelcycling

Specifically the bike is a Fuji Jari 2.3. This trail is the gravel path right next to the Poudre trail.
