Tell me why I don't want a Bronson Mullet

But I didn’t even say which tires I’m running [emoji2957][emoji2957][emoji2957][emoji2957]

The red ones?

More importantly the rim width those tires are mounted on.

I think this ^^ is wierd?

did the people bring their mullet back because they didnt like them on their own or because the owner is anti mullet ?

Is he anti mullet cuz people brought them back or cuz he personaly doesn't like mullets all of which transfers to the buyer ?

who cares as long as they sell, I also remember when people couldn't ride 29"ers or modern geometry but I think they got over it ??

Got the switchblade and now have it kinda set up for me. No rides yet. Dialing in sus settings today and then a 4 day riding trip in WY for the long weekend. Really excited to see how it feels once I’m a day or two in. Maiden voyage this afternoon. Let’s go!

Are you coming up here?

good riding friend of mine is on a Orbea Rallon MX, says it's the best bike he's ridden (and he's ridden a lot).

Short travel bikes are for people who ride smooth trails. Yes, you *can* ride rough trails on a shorter travel bike, but it's slower and less fun. Nothing wrong with short travel, but if you like nasty rocky fast downhills, don't let the smooth trail people talk you into getting the wrong bike.

2nd on the Sentinal. Fuggin love my Sentinal. Short travel bikes are sick on machine built flow trails so for a place like Bentonville or any other "down country" destinations yeah, but for everything else? Nah.

Didn't get all the way up to you. South WY.

Switchblade treated me very, very well. No complaints. Well, besides the scratch on the Kashima stanchion in the first hours of the first day. That sucked.

But the bike was great. More on that when I have a bit more time.
