Back in the Saddle

[mdbradigan]

Getting back into Mountain Biking after a long hiatus. Looking forward to hitting the trails on my new Enduro (thanks to Armando and the folks at Incycle Pasadena for putting me into debt . Local to Woodland Hills, but looking to hit as many rides in the area as humanly possible. Suggestions welcome.

Welcome, Good choice in bikes. I ride an 03 enduro and there isn't any better all around bike out there, I am sure you will be very happy with it.

I sold my 03 Enduro for my 05 Heckler.

Welcome to STR :wave: What Bret means it that he never lived up to the Enduro so he sold it. :lol: jk

So you're new to mountain biking, eh? Go on some of the rides that armando does and you'll be fast in no time. :bang:

totally, that enduro was waaaaay too much bike for me to handle.

 

[SAR_boats]

Of course steed preference is up to the rider but I found that the heckler, while great for the big hits suffered a bit much from pedal bob and brake jacking at high speed.

 

[i am dino]

Thats why I have a DHX coil with pro-pedal, virtually bob-less......brake jack, now thats a whole different story, lets not talk about single-pivot brake jack, lol.

 

[SAR_boats]

good call on the dhx coil. I have heard good things. I am thinking about getting the dhx air on mine but I don't think it will fit on the frame

I donno mang,
My 4" travel Intese Tracer with it's horst link seems to have more pedal bob then my 7" travel bullit. At least the the Tracer has a lock out.

I hate air shocks but in Fox's defence that bike sat for over 4 years and still had 150psi in the shock.

yeah but what your not telling everyone you had it racked at 200+psi

 

[spookydave]

and if I did that's not bad after sitting for over 4 years. Put it this way, the tires were flat.
I think I used to pump it up to 185 or so back then.
