@fatcharlie - those hubs are a nice touch!! I've stuck with the stock HEDs and maxed out my speed on some decent sized hills and they feel pretty strong. I'm guessing yours must be hold a line very solidly.
Sounds like a great vacation! Hope you guys enjoy your Diamond Backs!! Lots of great trails mentioned on this forum, maybe you can work a few of them in.
While the hydraulics do stop well, even from the hoods, when I hit them while in the drops the difference is noticable. They grab really hard, almost locking both wheels up no matter the speed if I'm not careful. The…
Nice. That looks like a lot of fun!
Nice review. I will add for me, at the 3 month point, I like the gearing for the roller coaster type smaller ups and downs we have here in MA on the coast. I'll be taking it up to the mountains sometime over the next…
So the rumors were true...CARBON!!!! Well, I know which bike I'll be getting next.
@ctube - I assembled mine out of the box and had to work out some rubbing issues. It takes some massaging, so if you are ready to put a little time in they can be lined up to work silently. I found putting a white sheet…
My company has direct partnership with them. I found out about it from the DB website via a online chat with a guy that just hapened to be in charge of developing partnerships. I passed the info that he sent me on how…
@rub3r - I just checked the corp discout site, and the Trail price just dropped. It's now $140 less than I paid for it 3 weeks ago. For a full carbon fork, Ultegra all around (except for cranks), HED wheels, and Kenda…
So I cranked out a fairly basic 20 miler on the DB and loved it. I'm going to keep dialing it in little by little, but it was pure fun. On hard packed dirt it was just a blast, felt like I was flying. Not that I have…
Really hard to beat the deals they give you. I did the same comparison and thought about the Comp, but the discount on the Trail was just too huge. I just checked out the ebike, and holy crap, did you get that 2800 to…
So I just got back from a quick ride after I did a little more detailed tune up of my own. I like it. I can tell the fork helps a lot compared to my old Trel X01, which was the epitome of rigid. The frame feels a bit…
02dazone - I like the color of that bike, the red looks better in your pic that in the pics I've seen online like at Performance.com. Darker, with a little metalic flake maybe? Or was that the effect of all that dirt,…
The yellow thing is a bleeding block.
I contacted DB via a chat service they offer, and they guy totally went to bat for me. He called my local Raleigh dealer, since they are partnered with DB, and let them know I'd be coming by to have a pro mechanic check…
I did not figure out what that yellow thing is. My guess is it has something to do with the brakes. I was able to get the front disc on fairly easily. After checking the rear brake, I found it was not lined up…
My Haanjo was delivered today and I put it together. The bike looks pretty cool, I really like the raw AL and black thing. I really just have 2 things I'm not sure about; 1. The cranks seem to not spin fluidly. I've…
Good to see another out there. Did you notice a big difference with the thru axle on the front? What kind of fork did you go with? How do you like it?
Very cool. I thought about the Comp, as I had considered a pair of CX brakes too. That won't be possible with the hydraulic brakes, but I think I'll be ok with that. I agree, a bike that fits just right makes all the…
Sounds great! Can't wait to put it together and take it out for a spin. I knew I'd be giving up a little suppleness by not going carbon frame, but I was hoping the fork would help out. It sounds like it does a decent…
