    Yes, I carried that one and 2 hydraulic ones for 7 years. They are expensive to maintain. The bars wear out quickly as do the chains. We charged IIRC $45 for one plunge cut to eliminate overcuts. If you need to cut straight and arent very good you can also buy a track that mounts to a surface. That one needed overhauled twice a year based on my usage. I went through a bar every month as well as 1-2 chains.

     

    JESUS... I see them in our Diamondblade catalogs and have just wondered. We overhaul our 760's about once a year, and thats running them like a bitch, I thought our guys were just being hard on them (but we're just cutting paver). What is the cost of a new chain for one of them?

    To start off, I'd like to get my frame powder coated a flat white (anyone know where to take it?)

     

    1) Ride 10 new trails before fall.

    2) I'd like to put 200 miles under my belt

    3) Mohican is on there, but last time I tried, I was 18 or so and it whooped me. Only completed half.

    4)Get a friend into the sport

    5) gopro everything

    What im curious about is if you guys get bored riding the same trails...im sure theres a few places to go locally, but does it get boring at the same places every time? Im sure its more challenging than road, but the fact that my options for a route are endless keeps it interesting. Maybe ill see if someone has a spare bike and i can get out and try it this year.

     

    I love alum (more difficult), but there a lot of other places around to go. I can see where you think it could get boring fast, but it really doesn't. I find road biking more boring because you can locate objects easier than in the woods. For example on the road you can see what lies a mile or so ahead and I tend to focus on that, "am i there yet, am i there yet, am i there yet," plus most of the road riding I do I know the route because I drive them all the time. I try to get to a trail at least once a week and never get tired of riding the same trail. The trails at alum are around 6mi and I average 40-45 min lap pace. There are so many different variables to work on , line choices, gear choices, all kinds of different setups. I compare it more to motocross than road biking. You're in the woods, ripping past trees and splashing thru creeks, jumping roots hitting obstacles. For me it doesn't get any better. Demo a bike and I promise you, you'll love it. Completely different work out.

    For $1000 you could get a really nice brand new bike and have enough to get some good lighting and other goodies.

     

    Id worry about a gopro before I would lighting...

     

    I blew around 1g on my bike and wish I would have spent more

     

    honestly get a 29er hard tail, full suspension is useless around here.

     

    Then why do I want one so bad? Seriously though the only exception to getting a FS is maybe justified by Alum and thats if you be boogy'N. No other place around here really needs FS. But I'd still like to have it.
