Hey Kev,

Just go to my dashboard (click on my name) on GL. I've been recording routes in AZ for the last couple of weeks. Just did four in Prescott, I'm in Sedona now. Should be 15-20 new routes in the state on GL before I finish.-eric

Hi Eric,

How did you pull up those AZ routes from Geoladders? There are only three rides listed for Arizona. I was just wondering if there is a way to search additional routes that are not posted in the pull down menu.

Regards,

Lefty Kev.

Hi. Back from Israel, you can see some random pics on my profile page. Tell me what you think, Expert!

Doh!!

Good morning Sunshine! We are doing the Monday Meadows Madness today at 8:45ish- You may have some climbing steep stuff skilz that we can appreciate- you dont have to hang out the entire time if you need to get in the miles today. Just and FYI- hope to see you there ( church parking lot)
P.S. Great job on the photos AND funny captions on the crashes!

Thanks Eric,

Honestly the only thing right now that is making me pause on the trailfox is the headtube angle. I prefer a slacker headtube angle. Right now its the trialfox, the Giant trance x2 and possibly a RIP. I love these types of dilemmas.

I did my own build with existing parts.

Fork: RS Pike 454
Shock: Fox RP23
Cranks: Race Face Deus XC
BB: Hope
FD: XT
RD: SRAM X9
FW: Ringle Abbas/Sun SOS
RW: DT Swiss 340/Mavic 321
Shifters: X9 Twist
Tires: Kenda Nevegal F2.35/R2.1
Seat/Post: Kore Enduro/Kore Race
Stem: TruVativ
Bars: TruVativ XC/DH

Weighs in at 29 lbs. Frame with shock was just under 6 lbs. Bike could very easily be built in the 25-26 lb range.

I test rode a lot of bikes and this one was exactly what I was looking for. A great combination of XC pedaling efficiency with 5" of plush travel for technical downhills. Running the Pike (140mm) gives it a slightly slacker headtube angle than it would have with a 130mm.

I was looking for an all-day trail bike that could handle 4-6 hour rides on all types of terrain. This bike does it all and I've taken minutes off every one of my regular rides on it. I've even knocked off best times I did on my 22 lb hardtail.

Great bike.

Eric

eric, i see you posted a review of the bmc trailfox on mtbr. i am thinking of purchasing one from adrenaline as well. what build kit did you get and how is the bike treating you?

thanks,

mike
