    Nothing wrong with that! I don't get the rush like I used to with technical probably since I rode it for so long and still do some but with an emtb trail riding has becoming more fun to me now. The added speed keeps it exciting and makes it bit like riding downhill.

    I've done my share of OTB nothing that bad. Worse one was after having my rear shock rebuilt discovered on a steep decline the shop had changed the rebound setting and got bucked off landing on a rock slab like a fish out of water lol my fault should have checked that.

    Mtb'ing is fairly safe in my opinion. You only have to worry about your own mistakes. Awesome looking bike bro... I still think we might need to make a trade hehe

    I have what Trek calls a medium large frame and only run about a half inch sag on the rear shock. On my previous bike occasionally it would rub but it's no worse for wear really. Mine is the 2nd generation performance line cx and the bike is Powerfly 9.7 which the rail replaced I believe. How...

    The seat is a Forte soft-tail I bought it a few years ago at Performance bikes. I think the bag is a large in this.

    Not sure if they ship to Canada either but that's as close as he's going to come to what he wants for the money

    Now that's a bad boy right there... of course I'm a little prejudiced. Zero contact with the saddle bag.

    Considering getting an ebike. How do I set my expectations?

    I've only had two bikes so I'm no expert but if you going to stop on a hill just like an analogue bike you would down shift gears before you stop and then before you start lower the pas level also but a throttle is very useful at times and for mountain biking I would say a necessity.
