I ride an old specialized Enduro Pro with Mavic Crossmax tubeless wheels and XT/XTR components. I also ride my Niner Sir9 with Stans wheels and Chris King hubs and headset. I need to make more time to ride :(

Here is my new Specialized enduro 650b or 27.5 . I wanted something more for DH but not to get into a double or triple crown. something i still can pedal up hill, but fly down hill and hit all the jumps and drops. I love this bike, can not wait for Summit and mammoth to open up there bike park . went and put on a 50mm stem and wider bars. this bike soaks up ruts and hits great.

My Enduro has been really good to me. Not the fastest up hill but I get there.[emoji106]

Compared to most of you guys I feel like I have a Wally bike. :(

2014 Trek Fuel EX-5. The only things I've changed are the saddle, pedals and grips. When I kill this bike, I'll step it up.

Sharp Shooter,

You have nothing to be embarrassed about, That bike is a great value. Take out the tubes if you haven't yet, put some stan's in for tubeless. If you don't have clipless pedals yet, I have an extra set of Shimano XT pedals and cleats I will send you. Just ask.

Congrats!!

Steve

Thanks and I appreciate the generosity. :thumbup: Wicki, and the everyone in the bike shop recommended pedal upgrades, but I like the platform pedals. I've got a set of Shimano Saints and they work well. I can't come to terms with clipping in yet. :D
