Could the increased popularity of racing have something to do with it?

Not really much opportunity to go all ham on the north shore style trail since it's mainly slow tech. There are a few exceptions, Bobsled, expresso, john deere. Which are all in amazing shape considering the ammount of traffic they get. But I do see a lot of people dropping into sensitive trails during or shortly after a monsoon.

I was a bit surprised he wasn't wearing a bucket

They look amazing but 250$ is way too rich for my blood. I already bought some spendy flats and I bent a few pins so badly it ruined the threads on the pedal body.

Looks like he caught his left foot/pedal on that stump

Great news! stoked Ladies is getting some much needed love! and that so much attention is being put on some more challenging tech trails.

Thanks ya'll

I have had 2 mountain bikes in the last 8 or 9 years and i ride at least once per week. Both happend to have 26″ wheels. It was always about getting on my bike and being out in the forest and pushing myself or riding with friends and having fun on our bikes. This who obsession with tinkering with bikes to make a profit really goes against everything this sport is about, makes me sad.. Hopefully I can keep my 26er going for a while longer.

Those were some burly crashes!

They should have called them the "Sick dude man bro's" I dunno I'm just talking shit, the name really isn't that bad.

Who names this crap? boomslang?

I know where Jimmy is coming from, 99% of the time there are no issues but a few times I've seen people riding up 3 abreast where one person is literally riding on the dotted line separating the 2 uphill lanes. Dudes.. this is just so wrong.. you're putting yourself in and unnecessarily dangerous position and forcing drivers to pass into the oncoming lane and putting way too much trust in the person behind the wheel. BUT I've only seen that a couple times. On the other side of things I was climbing up Seymour this summer hugging the edge of the road and was clipped by someone's mirror so it can be fuckin scary.

I wonder if it would handle a 160mm fork? I know very little about compatibilty and how the longer fork would effect a frame meant for 100-120mm travel

Correct me if I'm worng but I thought the shonky is a DJ frame

That Swarf frame looks pretty bang on!

I’ve had my eye on the buy’n’sell since late spring when my girlfriend complained that her chain fell off her cruiser while she was riding down stairs. I figured I’d try to build her an old 26” mtb, but nothing great has come up.

There’s been a few old chromags which just seemed a touch too pricy, and there’s a 27.5 Taiwanese Factory (no brand name) steel hardtail frame with decent geometry in size medium you might be able to get away with running smaller wheels on that’s actually a decent price.

I noticed that even used chromags are out of my price range.

Hey peeps

I recently broke my frame (2nd time in about a year) and I'm getting tired of replacing bushings/bearings, servicing my dropper post and shock. 

I want to salvage as much from my current bike because I'm tight on money. So I'm going back to my roots and would like to build up a tough 26" hardtail. 

Does anyone have an older frame kicking around they would be willing to sell? Or any ideas on a new frame? The only company I found that looks solid is the Cotic BFe. 

Thanks for any suggestions or offers!

Cheers!

I rode Neds yesterday, and god damn it was rough, it's sad to see a 4km long consistent decent going from CBC down to powelines crumble. Some of the sections are still fun but overall the whole decent seems to be in dire need of some love. 

How cool would it be to see a DH style trail built on the existing CBC and Neds line that could be used as a race course that would incorporate the shore style and features with some new school flow and jumps. Am I too much of a dreamer?

I don't get why there is such a controversy around making some trails mountain bike only and others Hiking only. It's the only logical solution. The Mtb communtity puts in the man hours on the majority of the the trails on the shore so it would make sense to keep them strictly for biking for safety reasons. 

Literally about 80% of the time I ride sanctioned trails I run into hikers. I'm always polite but most of the time it scares the fuck out of me and the other party. Last summer I was attacked by a guys dog on skull and another time came off a skinny on ladies because I had 2 joggers coming straight at me running on the same feature. And this weekend we bumped into a family hiking up John Deer.

I understand you want to be inclusive of everyone but it just seems insane to me having people ripping downhill with hikers climbing up the same trails that are built for bikes...

Hey can I get a job at norco with a criminal record? I've stabbed and mutilated a few hookers, i'm sure that will be fine ya?

I had a couple come up to me at old buck and asked me if I knew the location of a trail on Seymour and they pulled up a map of the darkside on a superphone, made me want to vomit.
