Dipping my toe into this xbiking thing, hope you don’t hate crust bikes
Please take a look at my crust bombora, I rode it up a mountain today.
I frequently see people say that crust bikes are more style over substance, “instagram bikes”, maybe they’re right but I do enjoy riding this bike.
From the crust website:
‘The Bombora is NOT a mountain bike. Yes, it fits a large tire, but the tube set is light. Think about it as a "plus" size tire gravel bike. We keep the tube set light to keep the ride quality opulent. That means it's great for bombing some road/ groads, but it's not meant for single track or a big chunky jeep trail full of rocks and huge ruts for you to run into square on. If you do ride it on that kind of stuff and break it, we will not replace it.’
I think about this every time I ride my bombora on singletrack…
