You’re not kidding the Colossus lives up to its namesake 😅 honestly though, heavy bikes tend to feel incredible on jumps and chunk. And the new Berm Creek revamp looks incredible!
@SnowShackboy 7 ай бұрын
Crazy, didn't know its weight was quite that high! The Ferrum LVN 160 I built is all steel with coil front and rear and its weight is pretty much spot on with his last Colossus. You think a lot of that weight comes from the linkage? Or is the tubing just that beefy on this thing? I've never seen one in person so Im curious

I love perfecting my bikes and seeing you pefect yours. As a mortal who doesn't get paid to ride bikes, I've come to accept as per IFHT "it's not about the bike, it's the rides it takes you on". On my D7 SE, I didn't mind the Raidon 32. It felt pretty good to me once dialed in. I ended up using a fair higher spring rate than recommended by SR suntour @~15% sag. Rear felt good to me @ 25% sag which was also higher than rockshox reccomendation.

The loam lever is such a luxurious upgrade. I love mine and don't think I'll ever get a different lever. It's so smooth. Also, I bought a Commencal meta sx this year, and after the SRAM gx drivetrain, new bars, brakes, and wheels, that thing rides up and down so incredibly nicely.

That is incredible they were able to spec a zeb and 12 spd deore for that price. I will say that I've seen tons of people posting pictures of cracked polygon frames specifically the Dseries frames. Leaves you to wonder if you're getting that level of component spec where the shortcuts are being made, likely the frame and the linkages.
@EvansMTBSaga 7 ай бұрын
When I hear about that, I just wonder what they were doing with the bike before and during the crack. I know they're entry level bikes, common for teens or people starting out. I'd assume that they were using the bike for some pretty gnarly stuff. I know that sounds like a paid Polygon shill, but if you read Pinkbike comments on their articles, everyone says every frame cracks all the time

@cornishcactus 7 ай бұрын
Really would like a new bike and the Whyte T140 29 is currently only 2k, but the spec is lower than my 2018 T130 which now sports Hunt Trailwide wheels, Hope BB, Shimano slx 4 pots, Monarch RC3, and the fork is now a 150mm Revpikey as it has the latest piston and 2.1 charger. In fact it's probably lower than the S spec I got the 130 in to begin with! It would have to be a night and day difference after a demo day even in base spec for me to consider it as I'd never get enough back from the 130 to put similar upgrades on the 140.

T8 looks nice too 🤔 ...And all are currently 25% off here in Canada!!! Happy riding!
