      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.

      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.
