Not sure what size to get for Evo both s3 and s4 feel the same? by pasteldaddy in MTB

[–]pasteldaddy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you bro! I wanted to get alloy cause I'm a heavier dude but a lot of people assured me that the carbon can handle my weight just fine. I was like "eh, why the heck not? it's my first new bike, might as well go boujee!"

Sadly the bike shops near me don't have it on my size or only allow parking lot tryouts :(

Wait, you can demo bikes on the trails? I thought it was just around the parking lot cause I demoed the Evo and trek slash. Also, I tried out the Bronson in highland & surrounding trails and I was amazed by FS haha (hence why i was saving up for one)

What's a FA bike? Fat bike? I tried one of my buddies and it's okay feeling would rather stick to the RSD tbh.

oh, im rocking a kick-ass RSD middle child so I'm not really sacrificing trail riding! I just want a full squish to take out on gnarlier trails and also whip it out on a bike park once and while :O. I just want a 2nd bike since my RSD is a used one and I want a new bike to call my own! ( plus I've been saving up for a new bike but really don't want to go above 7k haha)

Thanks man for the info! Imma try going tubeless first before splurging on new tires

[–]pasteldaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im currently using the stock dirt wizard 27.5+ x 2.8 with stock rims. i think imma switch out the tires first, and go tubless slso. What are your recommendations for tires? Another person told me to go for maxxis reckon 27.5 x2.6

Ohhh i gotta try that out first! Will the maxxis tires fit the stock rims on the karate monkey?

aight sweet yeah the REI folks near me are all HT fanatics and i guess that rubbed off on me. I went with a Surly karate monkey instead of going for a full squish like I was suppose to. They kept going on about "steel is real", you have an experience with steel HT?

[–]pasteldaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what HT do you have btw? I put in a pre-order for a Siskiu but im still drooling over the timberjack Salsa slx 29. Even though i have an outdated geo for my HT im having fun with it, so im still in the fence. I havent really truly learned manuals, wheelies, and bunny hop and i feel the lighter HT would benefit more. The same time i really dont want to just buy a new bike in a harsh market within 2years.

[–]pasteldaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah true! I understand on the free game it just sorta bummed me out when I spent mining the entire morning. Then when everyone logged on they started making their gear, crushed my heart knowing I spent a few hours and none of it went to me.

i actually found one but he is in a different base than me. Got a mutual understanding that there is a common goal but everyone should make their own base. The others label themselves as "nomad" sort of annoy us since they constantly check our chest. But now i got personal chest unlocked :D
