This was the first one. Tagged tree A with the bar, and that sent me into tree B.
Tree A remembers me.
I was going close to the max assist speed when this happened.
The second one was off a jump where line choice is critical and the landing is a bit blind. Wasn't going too fast, so a tuck...
Hello!
I have done some upgrade to my trance. I bought a used Fox 38 fork with 170mm travel. So much nicer than the rockshox gold fork. Less than a $400 upgrade after getting $200 for the old fork.
I've got about 1000 miles on the bike since January, and it's been awesome. New tires on...
I'm in the local MTB club. All our trails are open to eMTB. I do some trail workdays, and I always bring the eMTB to workdays. Most are cool, and there are a couple haters. The haters I think are like that in every aspect of their lives. Must be an exhausting way to be.
I don't have the views you all have, but there's cute box turtles.
Hit 2000 miles on the cargo bike.
Was using it as a trail building rig. It's an e bike hauling e tools to build trails I'll ride with my eMTB
Some fresh trail
Some things I have found to watch out for on my bike. Suspension bolts coming loose. I check mine pretty frequently, and they seem stable after several retorques. The lower shock mount bolt kept coming loose. I was having to retorque it almost every ride. I put some red lactate on it and it...
Went to fix a fallen tree at a local trail, then took a lap.
Strapped my electric saw to a backpack and cleaned it up.
Then I went to another trail and did laps.
I did take a short pause to inspect the underside of my bike.
Yep, still there.
I thought I could get away with one ride without tools, and paid for that with a snapped chain.
Fortunately I only had to push the bike for two miles.
Fixed the chain and had much better luck the next day.
The forest is super lush now.
I've also got a Garmin computer. I use the mount that came in the Garmin kit. You want the Garmin mountain bike kit which comes with a 35mm clamp mount.
I ran into a small issue with my Trance. An issue with the Shimano rear hub to be specific. I was having issues with the rear brake caliper alignment. It turned out that the brake side hub spacer threads into the hub. That spacer got loose, effectively making the hub wider. Easy fix once I...
Small update on my 21 Trance X Pro 3. Got it in January, and recently rolled over 500 miles on it. Really no issues until yesterday when a twig got stuck in the rear mech. Twisted the cage and bent a tooth on one of the jockey wheels. I was able to get it fixed, after taking it apart and all is...
I had a fun 20 miles out this morning.
Mr Snek came out to enjoy the sun.
This bush stole my glasses right off my face.
And I sent this descent I've been eyeing.
