Fun ride today with @benrubio21 at Wildwood park in Florence, AL. This was also my first ride with several new bike parts, but still waiting to hear back from @srammtb about my fork. I love the way my bike changes color in different lighting... I wouldn’t normally pick a purple bike, and most times this one looks green, but in the right light it’s purple. I love it! #mtb #mountainbike #trek #trekmarlin #trekmarlin7 #marlin #marlin7 #trekowners #florence #florencealabama #wildwoodpark #ridebikesThe carbon fiber headset spacers and @betterbolts titanium bolts compliment my new @pnwcomponents Range stem and @canecreekusa Forty headset well! #carbonfiber #headsetspacers #titanium #titaniumbolts #mtbstem #rangestem #canecreekforty #headset #betterbolts #trek #trekmarlin #marlin7 #itsnotamarlin7anymore #carbonfibersnotjustforbackpackingI’m excited about my new wheel set! Huge thanks to @matthewxknight at @trailsandtreads in Tupelo, MS for building these up for me! I ended up going with @stansnotubes Arch MK3 36 hole rims and @hopetech Pro4 hubs. Should be a bit stiffer than the stock rims, and I think I’m going to love the Hope buzzzzz.... I have changed quite a bit on my Trek Marlin bike... once I get everything in and done I plan to do a little video to show everything off.... #trailsandtreads #tupeloms #trekmarlin #upgrades #newwheels #stansarchmk3 #hopepro4 #blackandwhiteCant wait for the next time to get out and ride! Waiting for new wheels to be built right now... loving all my other new components, such as my @pnwcomponents Cascade dropper post, Range handlebar and loam lever and grips! Not to mention the recent conversion to the 1X oval setup, which is pretty much all @RaceFace. These changes have definitely changed up how my bike rides and feels, and I suspect the new wheels and even the @boxcomponents Prime 9 will too... Also looking forward to the more durable @stansnotubes Arch MK3 rims and the buzzzzzzz and the faster engagement from the @hopetech Pro4 hubs! #trek #trekowners #trekbikes #bike #mountainbike #mtb #marlin7 #trekmarlin7 #marlinbike #pnwcomponents #raceface #rangehandlebars #pnwcockpit #loamgrips #loamlever #dropperppst #cascadedropper #125mm #racefaceride #ridecranks #oval #ovalchainring #chesters #tishomingostatepark#tbt #mybeautifulwife #camping #campfire #tishomingostatepark #blackrockgear #downbeanieLoving my new @pnwcomponents Cascade dropper post and Loam lever!

Yama Mountain Gear DIY Cuben Fiber Stuff Sack Kit
Not the first, but one of the first items I ever bought in cuben fiber was one of the mini-size stuff sacks from ZPacks, about 2 & 1/2 years ago. Since then, it has likely been the single, most-used piece … Continue reading

UPDATED: What’s In My Ditty Bag?
About a year ago, I did a video/write up on my “Ditty Bag,” however, since then, it (like many other things inside my pack, including my pack), has changed. In the first video, the entire packaged weight was just over 16 oz! … Continue reading

Cuben Fiber Stuff Sacks = Less Weight
The little things in a pack can add up, so it’s those little things that sometimes need addressing. In this case, the little things I have addressed are my stuff sacks which seem to weigh very little already. But rather … Continue reading
