What I meant is tire pressure, sorry. I generally run as low as I can go without the rims pinching the tires too bad on bigger hits. It goes up and down a little depending on how rough the trail is.

The brakes are fine, I’m light, old and slower than I used to be. Fade a little on longish down hills but nothing that ever really bothered me to change them. The wheelset is very light, they are built by light bicycle using their carbon rims and industry nine hubs. They really make the bike...

Whoops, yes WTB, there’s a few other 29” plus tires that are more aggressive but terribly heavy. The rangers are a nice compromise.

It’s the aluminum one. The big tires soak up much of the chatter and I love the blue color. The trek Stache has 3” 29er tires. I run the MTB ranger.

I think it was their best effort with this platform. The chain stays are so short it makes it feel very light up front. Putting a several pound suspension fork is kind of a kill joy up front. There are plenty of other offerings for that kind of riding, I still love my full suspension rig but...

I’d say it’s a little over 25lbs with the dropper post. The rigid fork is original and it is geometry correct for the frame. With the tires having around 12lbs in the front and maybe 14 or so in the rear it runs over choppy stuff with ease. Rock gardens are not bad either. Changing over to ss...

The Stache with a rigid carbon fork, carbon wheels, and no tubes can be a quite nimble trail machine. Everyone that has ever ridden mine likes it and are surprised at how I handles. I also have a single speed setup I run on it sometimes. I have/had a lot of bikes and if I can only have one...

You bet. I have a 2014 ish Scapel, Redline monocog and my favorite 2016 rigid trek Stache. I’ve taken a couple racing seasons off but like to think I’m strong for my age (52) and ride often. Do all my own building and maintenance.
