    The 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 #carbonfibersnotjustforbackpacking
    I’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 #blackandwhite
    Cant 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

    Loving my new @pnwcomponents Cascade dropper post and Loam lever! Can’t wait to check out the rest of their gear! #PNWMark #pnwcomponents #cascadedropper #dropperpost #loamlever #red #mtb #trek #marlin7 #raceface #grippler #giveaway #hopeiwin
    Sure was hoping for another weekend of camping.... it’s getting late in the year and time is running out... but the weather said no. Instead it’ll just rain all weekend!
