Brand new Nomad 5 shown here on the most technical trail feature Boise has to offer.
Brand new Nomad 5 shown here on the most technical trail feature Boise has to offer. BOD Pose The Fox 38 is nice. The stock graphics don't really match though so I'm taking it back for a refund. Wide rims are a fad. 27mm FTW New Santa Cruz Palmdale grips are fantastic. I knew these pink Matchmaker clamps would come in handy someday. Notice the custom "machined" (actually grinded) down alloy bolts for that custom fit/weight savings. The devil is in the details, everybody. What's pink and green all over and hiding out in the bush? Power meter to prove how fat and weak I am. What is my life coming to??? Everyone knows a semi-tread rear tire is the best for snowy conditions. Hopefully the Sprindex adjustable coil spring actually lives up to their claims. The OneUp carbon bar is supposed to add a little more comfort to 35mm bar designs. Hopefully that's the case. Don't hate Cura brakes. They ain't never done nothin wrong to you! Pink Burgtec MK3 stem and green Deity Crosshair cap and spacers really tie the bike together. Weight with pedals. This scale is 1000% accurate no matter what anyone says... Fresh out the box. Shown with Fox Float X2 Air. Swapped immediately for the Ohlins TTX22M coil shock. Because coil is simply better but air is more readily available.
