the black trails here are pretty solid! || Cloquet, MN
Pine Valley Mountain Bike Trails in Cloquet, Minnesota I imagine gets overlooked as a place to check out with Duluth being so close. I'd say it is worth the stop for sure! This can be a great quick loop, It is easy to put an hour in and hit all of the trails. They have two black trails that offer some solid drops and jumps. The maps online are tough to read and trailforks does not match up so I hope this video helps you navigate this place!

Through Jesus’s grace alone, we turn from our old lives and trust in God’s love, patience, and promises:
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. Not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. -Ephesians 2;8
Then, we can rest that absolutely nothing can pull us away:
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord -Romans 8;38

Don't get me wrong the expensive tires out on the market are great but its just rubber right? There has to be some better options out there that perform similarly and don't hurt the wallet.

    Nice bike w a smart spec. I like my Deore brakes on my 2023 Rocky Instinct C30. I have been running SRAM brakes for years simply bc they came spec'd on my past bikes. I have to give Shimano the edge. Going to XT brakes will save a few grams but not change the performance much. Happy trails and enjoy the new bike.

    • @BackwoodsBlakeMTB
      @BackwoodsBlakeMTB 2 місяці тому

      Thank you! Yeah I’ve really been enjoying the deore brakes I wish they had a little more modulation but know you sometimes lose the bite. I have sram on my winter fat bike so haven’t used them at high speeds but I’d say I agree the edge for sure goes to Shimano. Thanks for the tip on the XT’s and thank you for watching the vid! Happy trails to you as well!

      ​@BackwoodsBlakeMTB i have 2 bikes. I with Deore brakes and one with xt 4 pistons. The Deore is a nice brake but like you I think it could use more modulation. The XT is noticeably better. Way more modulation and power. And none of the supposed wandering bite point. Nice and firm. Best brakes Ive ever used easily. Using organic pads on both for comparison.

    Great frame and super nice wheel set. I have i35mm rims and always use CushCore. IMHO it’s a must for having a set up to push your bike to its limits. My friend bought that same frame. I will do a review of his set up soon. As for Shimano brakes and drive. I think that’s solid. If I were to go with higher end brakes then I would go Hayes or Hope.

    • @BackwoodsBlakeMTB
      @BackwoodsBlakeMTB 2 місяці тому

      Hey thank you!!!! I wrestled for about two days trying to get a Vitorria airliner in the rear rim. Ended up braking a tire lever! I gave up haha and will risk it for now. I agree with you though having a liner is nice especially for cornering giving the tire alittle more sidewall strength. So far I’ve been happy with these 35mm rims with a 2.4 DD tires seems pretty solid but might need to pick up Cush core down the road. Ive heard great things about the Hayes and they look clean I might need to give them a shot. Thanks for the suggestion!

    So nice! I've just fitted the PNW Range bars on my Marino hardtail and they are incredible. It's crazy how much of a difference a couple of degrees backsweep makes, and they are great at damping trail chatter. I think you've spent money in all the right places here. Absolutely nothing wrong with Deore and SLX parts, it's all good shit

    I like most of this trail system but it is rutted and sandy in some spots. That gap jump I've never attempted because it's always overgrown and you really need to pedal to clear it properly. The area is a little sketch too. Didn't know about the breakins. I usually park at the recreation center. Seems like the safest bet, but not positive.
