BOSS! Thom Dawley just put my T16 frame (the one that looks like a hardtail but is actually a FS) in the mail to post out to me. Yes, he was great to work with, and was also patient with me on the color...or colour (Dragon's Blood)! I too love my hardtails, yet I'm stoked to get this thing built up. It was fun watching this one come together, thanks!

why do you use such narrow bars?
@ShreddingSpree18 күн бұрын
All the bars on my bikes are between 780-800. They probably just look narrow because of the wide angle camera lens.

The "flat tire" issue can be solved or at least mitigated by strapping the rim to the support arm near the top of the tire. Wide, heavy velcro straps or something similar can be used. At a minimum, the extra straps will keep the bike from falling out of the vertical supports when the tire goes flat. If you use the right straps, it may even help firmly secure the bike in the frame.

@@Alex_564 yes, trail forks has it marked as a black trail but I’d say it’s a solid blue. It has a few steeps spots and a couple rough spots however in my opinion it’s only difficult if you’re going fast. The climb is a little tough. It’s called the beast because it’s so long with minimal protection from the sun. The trail is worth the cost of admission though.

In this video I had the same setup on both bikes. 2.5 DHF (front) and 2.5 Aggressor (rear) Both are Maxxis For trails I run 21 psi in the front and 23 in the rear. I just swapped the rear on the rallye for a 2.4 maxxis dissector so we’ll see how that goes.

I’m running similar setups(but 2.6’s) on my Rootdown and Middlechild. Typically run 15-17 up front and 20-23 out back depending on how chunky I think the trail will be. Going to2.5’s on the RD just to change things up… slightly 🤓

I've had this rack for 8 years. Several parts wear out and 1up says they are normal wear and tear. Lifetime warranty isn't really useful if it doesn't cover the primary metal parts. Expect to shell out $100s every few years to maintenance. Ease of use this is very versatile and great to get bikes on/off. Don't try to lower it or get into the back of truck when the bikes are on. Not sure I'd buy again. Not sure I've seen a better option.

These would work really well on a mullet, where wheel sway is most detrimental at the rear tire, but if the rim is shorter, then it won't flex as much to the side. I would use steel rims with these if I could find them.
