I think they look cool. I'm sold on the fork though in regards to performance.

Yep, received my SB5 Lunch Ride yesterday and rode it today. Super fun ride! Can't believe how much more responsive and quick it is. Feel so small too! I have a frigging blast today!

Solid bike, nice! There's nothing better than a playful bike.

Thanks! Rode again on Tuesday and it's sooo good. There is like a confidence bubble around it or something. haha

Sweet bike! How do you like the oval chainring?

1MOREMOD · 01-06-2018, 02:19 PM

Clear your inbox bro, yes road bike. Biggest worry is being on thr seat more than 5 minutes. I'd prefer it had a motor also.

You can get an E-Bike, but it won't be cheap.

Getting a good chamois and saddle are key to comfort, behind fit.

Can I get a tandem that reclines so I can sleep while wife pedals?

My wife and I have his/hers Specialized hybrids. Not really mountain bikes so I didn’t post anything.

LBS is mounting Schwalbe 35c's on my Crossrip. It'll be my new gravel bike. Already have some rides mapped out.

Dylan86 · 04-06-2018, 10:28 AM

It won't stop snowing, here

Soul Performance Products · 04-16-2018, 10:17 AM

We just added a Trek Fuel EX 8 27.5+ to the SOUL fleet! Rides like a dream.

Took advantage of the beautiful 70 degree weather on Friday and went out to a local spot. It wasn't groomed very well - our Diamondback 4C ate a stick and murdered the rear derailleur. :mad:

My trusty steed - 2017 Intense Primer (Foundation build)

Chriso79 · 02-11-2019, 06:35 AM

Great to see some other Bimmer driving MTB'ers on here.

This is my bike (2018 Giant Trance) which I cart around on a F30 340i using BMW racks and bike holder.
I love riding it around all the trails local to me here east of Melbourne, Australia.

This is a couple of videos I've made of it in action.
