I wish that Chromag restocked or had stock of the Tachyon Jacket- everytime I look at it I tear up as the only size available is "XS"

Thanks for the feedback.

As for the 510's I say 3 seasons, but there was a stint that I ran clipless..sssshhhh

ahaha thanks again

AJ- which shoes and compounds did you ride from RC.  And how far away from 510 stickiness are we talking?

My 3 season old 510s freeriders are in need of replacement

Trails were minty over the weekend, lots of grip and barely and mud spots

For pedaling I like Zoic Ethers, lots of strech- They have no use in rain or cold weather

For Shuttle days- TLD Moto: so stiff they stand on their own

that's what i mean though. Harper has the terrain and high speeds where the new patrol would really shine. going up Harper, well it's going to suck either way, but at least the climbing position is comfortable on that bike , so you can enjoy the misery so to speak.  do people ride e-bikes up that mtn?

TBH- I didnt know people rode down harper..i thought it was the price to pay to get to the trails..like Fromme

And yes, EVERYTIME I ride Im passed by at least 1 ebike and a few times dirt bikes.

i'm still loving my very upgraded 2016 Patrol. i demo'd a new one wondering if the SBG changes would rock my world, but they didn't. the old Patrol makes a better trail bike. i've wondered where the new Patrol fits in. Harper is where.

Honestly it doesn't fit in there either, its heavy and sucks to pedal up- TBH- not sure any bike makes that fun

The place it fits- flowy, rocky downhill

Or Im just fat an out of shape

1/2 season on the Patrol

So far my favorite bike for my local trails, few small upgrades but overall stock...and yes I use my granny gear cause Harper road if effing steep

Thanks DC for your initial review.  I imagine it would make a great spring/summer tire

Any thoughts on the weight? or sidewalls- does it leak like the butcher?

Has there been any precipitation to get some? I thought it was all snow guns on Grouse right now.
I didn't climb high enough to see any last night but it was great out there, impossible to overheat! Not great for traction.

That is a good point, my brain farted when I posted this

Top of Burke is Icy and frosty, so assumed Fromme would be

Good to know DanL

Snow up by 7th?

Top of Harper has ice and snow on the side of the trail

It wont be long till its snow covered

This thread took a weird twist

i9 vs DT vs Hope

You cant lose with any of those, the only think you lose over another is $
