Still do not understand that when trails are all mud it is a no-no to ride them EXCEPT when it is a race.
True that man lol. It could have been fun if my bike had functioned.
Anyway I cleaned everything up and started playing with my components, I got the front brake back to where it was pre-race, I’m pretty sure I’m the one who messed that up. I think mud in the cable housing might be responsible for the poor shifting. Does that make sense?
Black and White and the thing looks AWESOME. I’m not gonna lie going from a really cheap mtn bike to the Marlin, the thing I like most about the look is how beefy the 1.5" head tube is.
Well I got it for $380 so I think that’s a pretty good deal. I rode it again and it felt like it fit really well and I figured for that price I could upgrade the fork if I needed too. Also the stem is 5mm shorter than the one I’m running now so I figured I could swap them out and get a little more stretch if I decide it feels a little short.

I’m not sure the picture does the story justice but here he is…
Riding the Nicolet National Forest (WI) Roche Trail for the first time I was trailing my friendby about twenty yards headed down a fairly shallow hill. Neither of us realized that there were a couple man made log towers on that section. Nothing huge, no more than 10in tall. But my buddy was even less experienced than I was and he kind of freaked and slammed on the brakes when his back tire left the ground over the first tower. he did an endo and ended up laying on the trail on the down side of the log pyramid so I had to slam on the brakes to prevent from running him over. I did an endo over the top of my friend and landed further down the trail. When I turned around somehow he ended up completely under his bike, holding the frame up with both arms. I made him stay there while I took a picture it was so hilarious.
