Spur Shakedown Trip
Finally pulled the trigger on a bike I’d been drooling over for years. Lived up to all the hype and more on its maiden voyage to southern Wyoming. This thing rips!

Riding experience on the new TR11?
Has anyone here gotten to ride ne new TR11? It looks really cool. I´m wondering about the kind of DH Bike it will be. Will it be mostly race/time oriented(?) oder could it be both depending on the settings you choose (different leverage curves,...). Or even more freeride-styled with a 27,5 Frontwheel (as it seems to be allowed by Transition)
For example the Commencal Supreme seems to great DH bike but most reviews give it a "planted feel" and not very "jumpy. Even though I love the look of the supreme the characteristic of this bike is not what I am looking for.
Cheers :)

My V1 was quite beat up so thought I’d treat myself. [SPUR]

paint /carbon scuff? damage?
I can get a good deal on newer v3 carbon sentinel. But it has a scuff/gash/scrape? Unsure how to describe it. No cracks but a big chunk of paint is gone. About 3/4- 1” wide on underside of chainstay opposite side of drivetrain.
Should this be a red flag deal breaker?
The black is just covering the sticker of the bike shop.

Latest Spire reviews
Looking at grabbing a spire but curious how others feel about it. I currently have a 130/120 light trail bike and wanting to add a bit more travel for the occasional bike park day as well as pushing myself out of my comfort zone with some forgiveness.
I’m considering going spire or sentinel (possibly exploring increasing travel here).
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

My v2 Sentinel mullet setup
upgrades include:
New Reserve HD rims with dt swiss deg df floating hub to reduce pedal kickback with Kryptotal FR enduro soft / Xynotal soft DH tires
Cascade link increases rear travel to ~165mm and adds major bottom out progression for heavy hits
+1 degree headset from works components to keep HTA close to stock with mullet setup
28t oval chainring for when things get steep
anomaly switchgrade seat adjuster for better comfort and weight distribution on long climbs
50mm rise Oneup bars for more upright climbing and descending position
Freedom coast levers for TRP brakes to get a closer bar pull
Rev grips to reduce hand fatigue primarily on bike park days
Went back to cable actuated x01 derailleur after getting sick of GX AXS weak clutch making terrible noise on rough downhills
Only additional upgrade will be 160mm cranks to help reduce pedal strikes given lowered BB

Ripley AF or Smuggler
I know this is a Transition page but wanted some opinions. Looking at purchasing my first Trail FS bike and debating between the Ibis Ripley AF or Transition Smuggler. Read great things about both bikes and can’t decide which one to snag. Trying to see if there are any 4th of July sales around the corner to make my decision easier if one bike becomes significantly cheaper.
