The ride:
The ride was natural and telepathic. That’s what you want to hear on a fairly short test ride session right? It was very easy to get used to as the
Descending on the bike seemed really easy as it carved through the singletrack of Park City with ease. I never locked out the platform suspension yet the steep pitches that surprised me were never an issue. The only real problem was my lungs not quite ready for the 9000 foot elevation!
It was easy to forget that this was a 29er since it rode very similar to a 26er. But when the going got real rough on rocky fire roads, the trails did seem smoother than they looked. And at the Wasatch Crest trail, as my guide Photo-John coasted in front of me on his 26er, I had to grab a handful of brake to avoid ramming into him as I was coasting too.
Like I said, these are just first impressions and I hope to ride it more. But color me impressed so far.
We have CycleOps trainers, rollers, and all the accessories in stock. Coming soon will are the CycleOps Indoor Cycles. We can help you stay fit and not lose everything you accomplished this year.
We even have the 24 inch for the young Cross racer.
Here that means it's time to say good-bye, or at least see you next week, to the students and teachers that work so hard over the hot summer days. Tex, Vince, J-Pa and the Hybrid King will be teaching or learning here in KC and will continue to grace us with their presence. While the Schapkers will be leaving us to study on opposite sides of the US hopefully to return once again next summer.
But at least an old familiar face has rejoined us to make the partings less painful. Joel 'Big Grin' Dyke will be turning a wrench a few days a week between bouts of welding, fris and general shenanigans with the Mrs. Welcome back, study hard, and safe travels.
I hope to see you this weekend. Spring Super Sale is Thursday through Monday and it looks like pretty much everything is on sale. All bikes are at least 10% off, with a bunch of them marked down way more. The online flier shows some of the pricing but you should swing by to see for yourself.
