Bikes: '13 Trek Stache 8; '08 Giant Rincon



I forgot to take my phone out of my pocket before my ride, so now you get to see a picture!

2013 Trek Stache 8. Bought used last July. Huge improvement from the 'ol Giant Rincon. I like the SRAM drivetrain a lot. Avid Elixirs leave a bit to be desired (but honestly it may be my neglect to reposition the levers properly). Fox Float 32 is nice. 29er didn't blow my mind like people said, but a noticeable difference. Fatter tire and tubeless? Very noticeable difference. Right about 26 pounds on the scale. RaceFace N/W was a great upgrade. Went from dropping chains 2-5 times per ride to not dropping one since the change (a couple dozen rides).

This particular ride wound up with a bruise in an... undesirable place, so a dropper post was ordered last night.

I've had a lot of fun on it.

Edit: I do not know how to make it a non baby picture.
