You compared a diverge to a T7. They are not comparable.

You can't ride a diverge up chunk and then bomb down through a rock garden. Different tools for different rides

I've done it again. N+1 and all.

No, I usually use trailforks for trail hunting and then do some research on the trail org website or similar to get more info unless I have a trail system already in mind. Last year we went to NW Arkansas to ride the extensive trails there and stopped in Brown County Indiana on the way there to...

That looks wonderful! I'm in WV, Maryland, SE Ohio and PA making the rounds for 10 days of riding different trail systems. I'll post some pics when I'm home, but I'm not a big picture taker so we'll see what I have

Sounds good.

Good morning, Darrin! I see that the Rally Point shows the dates as Sunday to Friday. Will we be meeting up Sunday afternoon/evening to camp at Cam's or will we be rolling out Sunday morning?

There are a few options I would consider, but they are all fairly expensive. If you have nice bikes, it isn't worth the risk going with a lesser rack to save $ imo. 1UpUSA makes an upright hitch rack and a heavy duty version for constant off road use, both of which are modular so you can add...

Don't overlook a truck with bed cap. There are midsize trucks with 6' beds and double cabs, like a Tacoma (maybe a Colrado?). The Ranger only comes with a 5' bed in the double cab option, or 6' in the single cab. There are full size trucks that would offer much more interior space and a...

Nice! Have fun, stay safe!

That's a killer setup for eating up miles in what looks like beautiful country on almost any terrain. Do you do any overnight bikepacking trips with that?

The solid bar/plate at the BB is a somewhat common solution for the latest frames to gain tire clearance and still allow a reasonable size chainring. The one pictured is a 34T, which the frame builder claimed was the largest that would fit, but I'm positive a 36 would fit with plenty of...

The wheels are 29". The rims are We Are One Composite, rear Triad 30mm width and front Fuse 33mm width. Tires are 29x2.5 rear and 29x2.6 front. I'm 6' 200lb Frame builder is Velouria out of Spain.

Newly finished build. Going to be hard to wait for the snow to melt and mud to dry up.

I am collecting parts for a new Ti hardtail build. I have a Salsa Timberjack Ti for all around trail riding, so this will be a slacked out "party hardtail" with a 65° HT and 150mm fork. Should be super fun in the rough stuff and I should have everything but the brakes and maybe the hubs before...
