Mostly a road and gravel rider (Specialized Diverge Comp E5) but just got my first mountain bike. I like in FL so nothing too intense and as a noob I decided to start simple with this Talon 2 29er. Stoked to take it out this weekend!
Nice! I started last year on an Ozark trail 29er that I put hydraulic brakes on. Got addicted super hard, sold the bike and got a GT avalanche comp 27.5 and got even more addicted. (I’m a short fella. 5’7") And just enjoyed 27.5 more than the 29s.
This year I want to get a canyon spectral full suspension.
Awesome! I’m really excited to do a trail this weekend.
I have the same one. I thought it wasn’t good until I realized after way too many rides that the derailer wasn’t aligned so it wasn’t hitting the last gear. :)
The presta valves are annoying. Everything in the US is Schrader.
Presta is the standard in the US for most decent bicycles…
