Interesting point Velo, the other frames in consideration were, Banshee Enigma (also alloy) and Chromags wideangle. This one won out on price and our shop is a new Marin dealer so representing the new brand works out too.

Likely will not get to ride it until family day long weekend as life is currently full of kids ski lessons(aka free skiing for me!)

Always follow this forum but have never posted.

I have not had the chance to lean it against many things yet but 2022 Marin San Quentin frame, mixed wheel 29fr 275rr, Pike Ult 29er 120mm,SRAM Eagle DT with custom raw gx cranks, one up 210mm dropper, spank 60mm rise bar on a 35mm stem, running tannus tubeless front and rear.

I cracked a couple carbon “super bike” frames last summer and had some build parts left over after the smoke cleared, these frames were cheapish.

I have not had a hardtail with a suspension fork on it in a long while. Been running a Surly k-monkey with -2degree wolf tooth headset for the last 3 years for everything from the daily commute, trail rides with the kiddos, bike camping trips, winterized with ice spiker pros ect. I will keep it around but looking forward to more modern geo and a bit of spring in the front.

Hello, 

Does anyone have any current info on trail conditions on the Sunshine coast we are looking at heading over next weekend but are worried snow levels may be too low to warrant the drive. In the past we have been satisfied if we can get as high as mach chicken.

If warranty becomes issue I have seen companies get you on this but otherwise if it is the same or similar weight no problems… I use fork oil from motocross stores as it is significantly cheaper.

bone collector in Savona is good to go

TD monnex is by far the leader as stated they will cover bikes without a special rider/subject up to $6k with their platinum plan. other coverage is equal or greater than the compertitors as well and the premiums are significantly lower $700 vs upto $1600. Still waiting to hear back from park. Thanks for the tip.

We just purchased our first house in Kamloops and are now shopping for our first home insurer. Any recommendations for coverage that is great for bikes?
