Mountain Bike

[imschur]

Took out the mountain bike today for the first time in two years. The bike was terrified of my much heavier ass but eventually I was able to mount her her....

She wore me out and my ass will never be the same.

I use to ride a bike regularly, never a mountain bike though, stop for reasons i don't remember, now can stand to get on one  :o

[imschur]

Bicycle riding is fun.  I have three road aond one Mt. Bike.  Manage to get in about 200+ miles a month on the bikes.

here in the sticks i only have to go 2 mins in any direction and iam out in the country so i use the country roads when i have a day off and the kids are at school i go for a ride on the mountain bike i thought i was riding about 10 miles but we when round in th esuv and it was 16.8 miles

[imschur]

wtf its all flat :P

[lmao_37]

yeah its flat down here, i have modded my mountain bike quite a bit  its a barracuda thriller frame with a gull wing swinging arm it has a shockworks airjet air sprung rear shock , suntour xcm fully adjustable forks, shimano rapid fire shifters, shimano cable front and rear disc brakes and i have gear'd it with 7 speed racing bike gears, i built it in the uk and shipped it over i built it for trail riding and gear'd it for the flat so i get some good speed cross country in the higher gears the gear ratio's are slightly different as low gears have 1 or 2 less teeth but the high gears have a lot less i think 7th gear has 9 teeth and the suspension takes a good beating when iam out in the country  :thumb:

ha ha I tricked out my bike as well. Stupid $1800 cost me like $4000 by the time I was done with upgrades and tools. The letters XTR must be expensive to print, because you know they dont cost much more to make.

The bike is a Gary Fisher Sugar 3 Disk

I have Marzocchi Forks, Cane Creek AD5 shock, the swingarm is carbon fiber, Hayes hydraulic disks, XTR Cranks, pedals,chainrings, shifts etc...anyhow you get the deal

[lmao_37]

yeah i know what you mean well i brought the bike on used online it cost 100 pounds and the rest of it was 400 pounds the only things i haven't changed is the seat,handle bars and brake levers i destroy mountain bike i jump them and i use to ride across the yorkshire dales and snapped 2 frames so i dont spend a small fortune on them but the barracuda frame is stong and i hope it lasts, i use to work in a bike shop we made a bike for someone and it cost 5000 pounds in parts alone and he brought in a frame it was a really nice bike and light but not what i would spend

[imschur]

Gary Fisher had a lifetime warranty on frames...I fairly heavy and was concerned about the carbon fiber holding up to my heavy ass
