O.T.B. find out what it means to me, MTB ride at Chimney Rock
OVER THE BARS.... Taking a ride over the handle bars on the mega rocky, Blue Interior Black Diamond Trail. More to come on this Blue trail at Chimney Rock, but on this ride I take a clockwise loop to the interior trail and back down to the parking lot. Ended up being fine after the rough landing onto the leaf covered rocky terrain, but I wasn't sure at the time if the cold was masking an injury, so I called it after the fall and packed it up for another day!
Thanks so much for watching as it was fun putting this together for you!

    I just purchased the Trek FX3 disc but I'm thinking I should've went for the FX sport 4 since I live right there by Colonial Park as well and feel the fx3 might not do well in gravel trails. Do you think the FX4 sport is definitely a way softer ride and worth the upgrade?

    • @kevincastellani4487
      @kevincastellani4487 4 месяца назад

      @Miguel-ey5eg I think you have a good bike and you would be able to handle the terrain in this area no problem. I do think the sport models are a significant upgrade with the carbon frame. A rim and tire upgrade could make your FX3 feel a little smoother.

      @@kevincastellani4487 I just got my Fx sport 6. I’m not in bike / cardio shape but on my last two rides I’m averaging about 12 but I have a lot of nasty hills. Was asking because I have a road bike and I haven’t ridden in a long time. Mostly because my road bike isn’t a good fit I think for me. It is uncomfortable. So I wanted a flat bar bike but I do like some speed when possible. Did you change the cassette on the fx sport s6. And do you prefer the 2023 version over the 2021? I saw the 2021 was more road oriented pertaining to the gears

      @kevincastellani4487 Год назад

      Thanks!! I did not have the GRX cranks or Shimano brakes. The bike shop said they were going to swap the brakes because so many people were having problems with what was on them. I mentioned on the website the bike has GRX and they were willing to swap them to for me. I'm happy with the bike. I just need to upgrade the rear hub for more engagement.

      @kevincastellani4487 Год назад

      This is the 5L. I'm using only the back strap with some frame protection and I made a home made plastic spline for the top to prevent sag when using the top hardware. Pretty solid with tools and C02 in the back, enjoy! www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/equipment/bike-accessories/bike-bags-panniers/bontrager-adventure-boss-frame-bag/p/5263836/
