I have been working really really diligently to not blame the long rear center on my spire XXL for my shit Manuals. I never really had them on lock anyways…. So I keep pulling and thrusting and ripping my shoulders apart all the time. Like trails, uphills , rough stuff , speed slow, cruising with the kids on connectors-  just really diligently practicing like a proper mt bike trail rider should always do. 
It’s coming along too. 
I have that poppy at speed shit , but now I’m starting to really get comfortable with the amount of body English and effort and the timing of the longer stays. I can get it up ! And keep it up ! A bit… 


Hopped back on my dirt jumper for a quick rip to the corner store and pretty much pulled the bars to the moon And damned near looped out  my head on the sidewalk .

I’ve also got a +4 ape index, 36 inch inseam, masssssifff quads and chiseled jawline. All of which brings me to the most annoying dumb bike problem of all time. You ever hit your knees on the bars of a mountain bike while your trying to win a tech climbing contest with some local legend you shouldn’t even be riding with? 535 reach was a godsend for that. And with stacks still XC low, being able to still benefit from the reach in with a high rise bar was a double win. 

I love riding mitosis bikes hard. I’m a big guy. And big guys had bike fit issues for years. I’m bad a manuals - I thought this was a funny place to put my dumb bike problem . It was funny. To me. Maybe the other 3 mountain bikers with big legs and nice jawlines
