@@xnoitulos right? That was a tricky course, between the pedaling and super tight turns. Definitely kept me on my toes.

@@FSULAUBACH thanks for asking. We’ve done 2 one week vacations with it this year and a handful of other weekend trips. We love it, and haven’t had any quality issues. Enjoy yours!

@@happytrailsmtb8011 that's awesome to hear thank you!! How does your maverick tow it? Pretty seamlessly?

@@FSULAUBACH it’s a lot for the Maverick. Plenty powerful, but the brakes aren’t happy when towing. I’m a little concerned with longevity of engine/transmission, but we’ll see. Generally speaking though, it tows quite well.

@@happytrailsmtb8011 do you have a trailer brake controller installed?

@@FSULAUBACH yes, the factory one. I upped the gain the last time I towed, and may up it a little more next time (in 2 weeks).

@@gregking9032 thanks! I’m already back. Riding the shed tomorrow!

@@happytrailsmtb8011 I was planning on riding there tomorrow morning? What time will you be there?

@@gregking9032 I don’t have any firm plans. Maybe 9. Haven’t even pondered where! I could definitely meet up though.

@@iradeere5072 yes! Marc Calderone.

Sorry for the late reply. I’m seeing a pt for mild whiplash, but am back on the bike. Yup, trees always win and that place is awesome!

@@shredderdad6995 hell yeah brother! Always great seeing you.

@@rogermuller4967 thank you!

@@slantedground thanks! I felt really slow, but was only 6 seconds off my pr, so not terrible.

@@kunishimatoshio we have not. We bought a movie projector and screen. We mount the screen to the awning. Not theatre quality but fun.

@@blaine142 I felt like I was in the twilight zone for a minute 😂

@@happytrailsmtb8011 😂

@@rkashsggeggr6285 about $22k

That’s actually pretty reasonable. Waiting until the fall to grab one so I can get the best deal.

@@rkashsggeggr6285 totally. We’re really happy with the quality too. Newer campers have a shit reputation, but this one has been great. We’ve spent about 18 nights in it so far this year.

@@happytrailsmtb8011 Have you used it in freezing temps yet? Or off grid camping?

@@rkashsggeggr6285 maybe in the mid 30’s, but that’s about it. It was fine. Yes on off grid. I bought a 20 gallon camco portable waste tank to manage the black/gray tanks. I had a Honda 2000 generator, but sold it for a Bluetti battery inverter. It was NOT up to the task, so I now use a Predator 3500 and it easily runs everything including the AC.

@@CodyStafford-b4f oh wow, thanks. Didn’t know. Still loving our little Jayco!

@@NoPlansGarage thanks! It turns out we have friends in Annapolis that know the family well. Scary stuff. Thanks for what you do.

Great question. I’ve had to replace 1 cage on the derailleur ($125) due to bending it badly in the rocks. Took 5 minutes. The flat top chains are incredibly durable. The original chain still has life left in it. I’d have been through 1 to 2 Eagle chains in that time frame. Otherwise it’s been flawless, and shifts so good.

@@happytrailsmtb8011 Sounds good, thanks!

My Strava cutoff at some point. Let me see what I can share

strava.app.link/lfrH3b5oKKb

For sure! The 3rd jump on DD almost got me! Next up, the jumps on alba. Maybe this year.

Thanks man!!

I gotta go back. Great place to practice!

I’m with you! I don’t understand the policies either. Make it make sense, especially with the SL e-bikes that are virtually indistinguishable from regular bikes.

They're proud they've kept ebikes out. They say they don't need/want the usership. But the horses don't make an imprint on the trails... They have explanations, but none of it was convincing.

I agree, I just don’t want to spend my day climbing. I’d rather get more laps in and climbing sucks 😂

Looks like discrimination against senior citizen and people with mobility issues

I’m not great with Pisgah navigation, but we left the fish hatchery, and rode up gravel singletrack next to the river for a bit, and ended up going up Searcy to Parkay to new butter DH (per Strava, not sure what the actual names are). Some of what we rode was brand new, but it was all new to me.

Thank you. It’s a Canyon Neuron. 130 rear, 140 fork. Pretty nice spec, SLX drivetrain, Fox34 rhythm, Fox float, 150mm one up dropper, and Hayes Dominion 4 piston brakes.

Thank you for providing some awesome footage there!!!

Great meeting you Blaine! Nice 3rd you got. They made a big deal of the e-bike class, then 1 by 1 none of you stuck around, lol!

@@happytrailsmtb8011 hahaha I had full intentions of actually staying until the awards, but my friends left and I had some stuff going on at home I had to attend to. Didn’t think anybody cared about us battery powered boys 😂

I forgot the numbers and just consulted the Jayco website. 325# “dry” tongue weight. I have the optional 30lb propane bottle, and standard battery too.

With the enduro format racers go one at a time in 1 minute intervals, so it’s really a race against time!

Ha, tell me about it!

That’s mighty impressive! Have you ridden the trails? A couple of stages are pretty spicy! Like many enduros the climbing is tough too!

@@happytrailsmtb8011 never been there. I’ve ridden plenty of techy descents on my enduro rig, just not at a race pace. I’m mostly thinking about how wet it’s going to be, they’re showing rain 4 days this week.

Honestly, I thought transmission came with a BB, but I recently went through my old drive train and my original BB wasn’t there, so I’m thinking they (LBS) installed the new crank on the existing BB

@@happytrailsmtb8011 I think you're right, the kit actually comes with the correct spacers, the BB are identical, it's just the "WIDE" BB comes with differenct spacers, which again come with the groupset crank

Thanks for the info. Yup, I made the video because I didn’t see where to park and Waze took me to the legion. I hope this helps spread the word on where you should park. I look forward to going back.

Great question. Absolutely love it. Shorter cranks are awesome, and the way it shifts is amazing. Another fascinating thing is the damn chain shows virtually no wear. I have destroyed one derailleur cage, and the new one was $125, but it’s a super simple 3 minute install.

@happytrailsmtb8011 sweet. Might going transmission. Thanks for the insight.

@@XCBen not sure I’d go from AXS to transmission, but the jump from mechanical to transmission is amazing.

@happytrailsmtb8011 that would be the move. Also would be going from Shimano to Sram. Probably more fitting since I was born in Germany.

Thanks brother! So much fun out there.

Thanks, I appreciate it!!

Glad to hear. Cacapon is a blast for sure!
