It is a sad day for Hinterlandian MTBers. Mike, the owner/operator of our beloved Buckwallow MTB Centre, has decided that dealing with COVID lockdowns is just too much for him and he is going to retire and close the property for good. He did not open at all last season but was hoping to open July 1 this season. The place is legendary in Ontario mountain biking circles, not only for the well-maintained and interesting trail system, but for the great vibe created by Mike and his crew of volunteers.
Serious bummer.

how's the new ride? you should do a report / review!
looks like I'll get another season out of the trance ?, re-built shock and new dropper post riding nice!
I bought a cheapo tranzX 125mm dropper, limited choices with external cabling. easy to install and seems fine so far.

I wasn't going to a bike report , I was afraid it would come across as showy. No denying it is expensive luxury item.
You do not need a expensive new bike to MTB at a high level.. The beat up subie gets you to the mountain as well as a Porsche SUV.. Well this bike is the Porsche.
It's Ibis Ripmo AF. Aluminum frame , the carbon version just saves you some weight and cost 1k more. It has Sram GX Eagle drive train. DVO suspension 147mm in the rear , 160 up front. 160mm dropper and 4 piston Sram Code brakes.. The bike is a beast, and climbs better then my old xc bike. So smooth through rock gardens , you can drink a cup of coffee without spilling it...
If anyone wants to come to NJ and ride , you can take it for a spin..
