SPEEDMountain

Guess who’s back! We’ve been pushing hard for this moment for nearly 2 years now.

Sometimes it’s hard to believe that this is my life. I work on bikes, I coach people how to ride bikes, I wind down on a bike ride with my family, I go on singletrack dates with my wife who is my favorite person to ride with. Thank you everyone who has come in to support Speed Mountain. I genuinely love what I do and wouldn’t be able to do it without the support of this awesome community. Let’s go for a ride!

We have some options for you to race if you really like to pedal. XC Race bikes have become genuinely fun up and down. So very capable.

It’s been a wild winter. Those of that live to bike have made the most of it. Those of us that ski are living in disappointment. It’s good to have multiple hobbies we live for.

A value build eBike weighing under 49 lbs. with proper Maxxis DoubleDown tires, Maven brakes, a 38mm Marzocchi fork, stout Mavic wheels, and all the adjustments. This is proper fun. I justify mine because I tell myself I’ll use it to commute. You can justify one anyway you want. It’s justifiable.

The shop is surprisingly busy for January with no reprieve in sight. I needed to do something stimulating and this definitely stimulated my brain and got me excited to go ride. Since I’ve been busting for months now and of the bikes I have in the shop none are a great rush, plus some parts I needed didn’t show up so I built this Mega-Mullet of a bike. 26x3.0 on back and 27.5x4.5 up front. It may be an atrocity, but it’s going to be an experience.

Our perception of value is often different then the general public’s because of what we feel has value. However, this build may correspond with most people’s definition of value. $6500 for SRAM 90 Transmission, Marzocchi Suspension, Carbon Frame and an Avinox Drive System.
