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!
