Try The Trek Store Middletown. Full range of Fatties at good price points. No suspension, Front Suspension, 26 x 4.70., 27.5 x 3.80.., 29 x 3+.., adjustable rear geometry.., single speed capable.., very easy tubeless conversion. Salsa and Surly too.

I'm about 6 months into owning/riding a 9.8. The 9, treks top tier alloy model is a great bike. If you're thinking 2015 it's set up as a 1x11. The drcv rear shock is the real deal. Great on the stutters, opens up seamlessly on the bigger hits, set up properly, climbs very well. All in all, a...

Was told abt a Salsa demo at 6mile for tomorrow, 10/22/14. Dying to try that Bucksaw fully!

Go to the Trek store in Middletown, NJ. Ask for Patrick, he'll get the whole rig "set-up" for you.

Yeah.., I'm pretty sure the whole dogs on the trail thing is a bad idea. Much like horses, off bike, give 'em a wide berth, let the owner walk 'em past you on a short and tight leash.

Do your self a favor, if riding chimney rock and perhaps some of the other chunkier places of northern NJ, NY, PA. Try a trek fuel. Plenty of demos between now and late fall. 120 travel, climbs great, descends well, really a well balanced bike. On a fuel now after two stumpys. They were great...

I really Dnt wanna ride w/your dog. I've had dogs all my life.., they rip. but guess wht, when I'm moving dwn a corner at speed, on the one day a week I have to ride and I see your dog out ahead. They are always out ahead. Now I have a problem. Sorry but leave fido at home. Dnt take 'em to...

For a site that is so "instructive" and often times, "Preachy".., 243's response was.., respectful. Well taught!

Will do.., 2.8 will fill up that 4.6 tire?

Can anyone recommend a mid to light weight tube for a 26x4.6? Thanks!

Stoked on the follow up. Thanks!

Hey, thanks for your insight/experience. I do like the silent spinning the D/L provides but the heavy dirt and debris the product attracts is too much for my OCD to handle. Back to the R&R Gold!

Running R&R gold on one bike, Dumonde Lite on the other. I've used R/R for a long time, always very satisfied w/results. Was told by LBS to give Dumonde a try. Was "instructed" on how to apply, followed said instruction to the letter. Product works well and will say, I think this is the...

Been riding the bike non stop since February delivery. Can't get enough. I feel the added weight/mass has made me a stronger rider/climber. Have been in H/Shorne a few times and the traction is unreal. Can't wait to try out 6mile.
