If theres clearance at bottom out you could probably re-space the shock and gain more travel while maintaining eye to eye. Im eager to see one in the flesh to see if its possible.

I'm 6'4" and on an S5 Enduro, coming off of a L Pole Evolink. At your height I would say XL in the Sent BUT that STA is slacker than the S5 and Evolink. Maybe seat position could be adjusted for you, point being I would sit on one but I would put money on XL. Cheers.

My man! I bet his wife is a fox too.

I can't believe I'm reading any negative comments about the brand, honestly. I have a pair of their Destroyer shorts I bought at the sample sale last year and they kick the shit out of my Sombrio and TLD shorts as far as quality is concerned. Complaining about the price? Whoever complains about the price is out of their damn minds. I actually saw a pair of TLD/Adidas pants for sale for over $300 and they aren't even made here! Plus they're made of paper! How is that acceptable is beyond me. Whatever your thoughts are on the brands marketing is your opinion but I feel like we should all embrace these local brands and support them as best we can.

After having my 9point8 with the sideload rails I could never go back to this style. Post looks great otherwise.

No. Dustin mills all of the stems in house in Kamloops on a Haas VM3 and makes all of the bars/rims in house as well. I know this because I've seen it with my own eyes and openly posts footage of said cnc machine on the WeAreOne Instagram page.

Oh awesome! I'll be contacting you soon. Cheers

Agree!!!

I looooove my Storia! Now if EXT could get a service center in the gvrd that would be great...

Procore is a heavier system for sure but I wonder how one of those 80g Tubolito tubes would work with it? Knock off 100g per wheel I would think?

I've been paying for a couple years and still happily do so. I have a Garmin so I probably get more use out of it then just phone users. The Live segments feature is awesome although it only works on climbs now but I get it. The membership is on sale right now so its like $6-$7 a month which really is F all. I'm happy to toss them money

I know you said Shimano but Magura MT5 can be had for cheap on Jenson and, as a clydesdale myself, will never go back to shimano calipers. I'm currently on Mt5 calipers with xt levers but the stock MT5 system is tough to beat for value and power.

What's the deal with shimano levers matched with magura calipers? Why not magura levers?

Had maguras on my last bike. Really liked them, the drawback for me was the replacement of levers because they are so delicate. Had to replace 2 in one year. So in the long run cheaper for me to run the XTs. No they wouldn't warranty them, a light crash still considered a crash in their opinion. They crack inside and lose pressure oh so slowly.....

Yeah my rear lever developed leaks twice so I tossed them and got the XT masters. The power is immense and zero fade. I'm all about 1 piece calipers, 2 halves bolted together in such a high pressure, small package just seems ludicrous to me.

We could also add the kids science experiment from the England where they grew two plants, one beside a wifi router and not beside one - the plant beside the router didnt grow or sprout if I remember right.

I was arguing with a guy at work about this. If plants dont have the exact proper amount of sunlight and the exact proper water they wont grow whereas a human can smoke and drink daily while living off fast food.  I think Wifi is the least of humans worries.

My buddy came up with a brilliant idea to keep the kids entertained. He bought a bunch of little toys from the dollar store and froze them in food coloured ice cubes. They sit outside with a hammer and smash them to get the toy.

Trump will win because the Dems want to lose. They figure another 4 years of Trump is alot less damaging to them than 4 years of Bernie at the helm. Put Biden at the helm with his dementia and it's a sure loss, gives them 4 years to regroup and try again. That's just my theory anyway.

Do the Democratic voters want to lose?  I don't think they do.  I think most see 4 more years of Trump as irreparable damage.

The voters certainly dont for sure, but internally there's things at play that aren't in the best interest of Joe Public. It just doesn't make any sense to me why they have Biden up there, I'm  just trying to make sense of it I guess.

I had a 160mm 29er Diamond and really liked that fork. When I sold that bike, my new bike came with a 170mm fork and at the time, DVO didnt sell a 170mm 29er fork so I went another direction. I now see they're selling the Onyx in a 29er long travel which I might get. The performance was very good and the price was tough to beat. DVO is also selling %25 off throughout the web store too.

1992 Giant ATX 660 Bought it new , had a 50mm RST fork.

Did you buy it at High Gear??

It seems to me like there are so many (old) Woodlot / Bear Mtn / Red Mtn / Burke and etc mountain bikers around and yet Floyd / High Gear are all but forgotten, which is sad to me. Basically, all the bike shops from out that way that I frequented as a kid are gone: Cyclepath/BlackDog, High Gear, The Ridge, AKA The Bike Shop, Overtime hell even Cap's Westwood. I ran into the Dan Sedlacek, previously of OnTop, the other day and it's easy to forget how many genuine folks have simply moved on to other things, even here on the Shore.

Anyways, before I start crying into my beer, I didn't know Floyd at High Gear as a person (separate from the High Gear experience), but I wrote a little something about him on my personal blog if you're interested.

- - - - - -

So I'm not being a thread-ruiner.

If you ask me today, my first real mountain bike was a 1995 Iron Horse, fully rigid in metallic blue and sporting a full Shimano STX-RC build. BUT, if you'd asked my at the time my first mountain bike was a neon-green-and-black hi-ten steel Raleigh with SIS friction shifting, and steel rims. Perception right?

Dealt with all those shops. Made many friends through them as well. Floyd was the best. Great guy he is missed. Troy at Maple Ridge Cycle is there still. Hes just behind the old store.

For whatever reason I never really clicked with that shop. Have a great Troy experience though:

I was sitting at the top of Switchback/Eric Dunning (Sp?) at Mike Lake in Golden Ears when it was it very new and he comes pedalling up the fire road on an orange Norco Bomber leading a shop ride.

Looks at me.

T: “Did you already ride upper Incline? Was it greasy?”

A: “Upper Incline?!”

T: ~ “Just keep going up, you can’t miss it. The best trail around here!”

After they passed I sat for a bit and then finally convinced myself to ride up and see if I could find it. Easily the nastiest, greasiest, rooted jank I had ridden to date. Walked half of it. Crashed hard twice. Went back for more the next time I was up.

LOL

Yay the incline was a nut kicker in spots. Had a couple bad crashes on it.

Troy still has that Bomber , and the yellow one.

Oh my 2nd bike was a Kona Kileau? , the burgundy color yr 93?94? I also had a Marin Zig Zag Trail at the same time. Think it was a 94.

I totally remember being a 14 year old and riding my bike from Pitt Meadows to High Gear all the time to be an annoying shop rat. Floyd was one patient man lol! AKA was where I really cut my teeth with biking though, I still talk to Ian almost daily and go on an annual guys trip with him and some buds.
