Always great vids from you. Thanks! I’m just down in the Portland area so I’m gonna have that same type of riding to try here soon! I have a 23 San Quentin 3 myself. Super fun bike
Thank ya, I really appreciate that! It's definitely a fun bike and Im glad I did what I did! I was contemplating between building it up and selling it, but it has some priceless sentimental value to me was the main block haha
I bought a growler last year and upgraded parts as I went along. I have to force myself to ride my full suspension now once in awhile. The growler is so much fun. Get a tannus insert for the back wheel. I hit pretty large drops and am not light and no dents at all.
Honestly I was shocked at how much it revitalized Token for me...Im absolutely loving it I ended up returning the wheel, but I still want to go tubeless (with an insert), Im just trying to find a reasonably cheaper way to do it since it's my hardtail!
I picked up a new Nukeproof Scout RS hardtail a little bit ago. Super fun. But my lower back, hands and feet hurt too bad after a run that I do not think it is compatible with my aging body (50 this year). I have almost no discomfort from riding my Enduro bike (other than my heart and lungs often begging for mercy). So sadly did not even get 100 miles on it and am putting it up for sale. 😞
Oh that's a sick bike too. I was considering it back when I got the San Quentin (though i can't remember what swayed me). But that sucks, I will say I forgot how harsh the hardtail is compared to my plush 150-160 bike haha...Hopefully you get a good return on it though!
@@pnwmountainbiker5098 Thanks. Yeah the bike market is rough, I might come out better parting it as all the parts are essentially new. I am going to meet in the middle and build out a new Santa Cruz 5010 for my short travel bike.
@@superawesomefuntimego Oh that sounds awesome. I've always thought that'd be a sick bike for tamer trails for sure. But yeah, I had to let my Insurgent go pretty low unfortunately, but on the flip side I did save on my Canyon

hardtail life is the best! love getting out on my steel rig pretty much on any and every trail i'd ride the full squish on
Hell yeah! Ive at this point also swapped back to 2.6 tires and it's just awesome to ride! It really just brought so much life to token for me!
