Looking forward to the Kali invader review...I have one of their helmets and find the shape to fit my noggin well...I never understood the judgement from others regarding full face/pads/ect...I applaud any and all safety measures a person is willing to use, regardless of what I am comfortable in.
As for the latest post...do you think Marin will offer the San Quentin 24 as a frame only? I have so many parts that it would be a shame to not use them. Also any other dad's on here that know who makes a decent 20" front tire? Preferably with some proper knobs. We live around Snowshoe and it has been quite wet this year.
*Edit* loving the coverage, btw. I think my daughter is inspired (or challenged, can't figure out which one) by your posts. She now want to try skinnies!
I hope they do, SQ24 is a great rig either way but I know so many folks with parts they’d love to use. Never hurts to drop Marin a line or to ask your preferred local dealer to inquire - the more inquiries they get the more likely they are to sell frame only (as with adult models).
Best 20” MTB tire available now is Maxxis DHF Folding. I thought it was a MaxxTerra like the 24” buts it’s a DC. Still better than other options. Your local shop probably doesn’t have any in the boxes and boxes of Maxxis overstock they’re sitting on right now, but they can get some.
Just be aware that some 20” MTBs (for actual off road use) don’t clear a 2.4” tire out back. I don’t know why kids rigs (future mountain bikers) are such an after thought for so many companies, but they are.
That’s really awesome, and thank you! #Cumberlandworx has been a fun experiment in unique content and also daily ME posting.
