Yeah i know the RP23 shock is poo
And as soon as the Monarch RC3 comes back in stock at CrC i,m on it

On a side note i rode a bike with a set of Manitou Mattocs on it and was really surprised with how good they were

The Monarch Plus is pretty damn awesome. It's a game changer on my Stumpjumper. My coworker has the Mattoc Pro fork and loves it. He's a bit of a Manitou fanboy, but the Mattoc is a very solid fork, for sure.

I wouldn,t have even looked at a set of Manitous because of the dramas they had with them years ago .
But after riding a Giant reign with them ( and this bike and fork haven,t had an easy life ) I was really impressed , id say dam close in performance as the Pikes but for nearly half the price

Common sense, start/stop Strava from the trailhead.

My bike is in the back yard. Good luck getting past Cujo without either being bit or sh**ing your pants from when he barks at you.

My two most expensive bikes live in what would be the dining room for normal people. BUT, I have started road rides from the house in the past, but I won't anymore. I'll ride to the police station and start from there. We have a BIG drug problem around here, hard to say what some tweeker would do for their next fix.

Now my bike is at the bike shop for the next week or two. I get a new front brake! My lever on my Guide RS was sticking something fierce. So, it's being warrantied.

Save the photo to a hosting site such as snapfish, flickr, photobucket, etc, then copy and past the img file to here. Or buy a star and you can upload the photo directly to RCC.

Looks pretty crazy, loon.

Went for a ride today. Still trying to build up my strength again after being off the bike for a while. Plus, switching to 1x11 is kicking my ass.

Got some pictures too.



Same thing, just from a different angle.

Thank you, this is a like a dream bike, it rides so good. Which reminds me I need to give the drivetrain a cleaning, starting to build up gunk in the gears.
