so i never really ride my 36er ever, but that’s changing now. i didn’t because i don’t really enjoy road 36ing. and there was really no trails around here until my brother told me about some trails near him. very hilly trails. to me at least, haha. having lived in florida my entire life and never seen a single mountain, these hills are pretty big. of course in the vid they look half as steep as they actually are.
the riding is nothing spectacular, but i’m really enjoying these trails and enjoyed the making of this video. i look forward to riding the 36er all the time now, lol.
but that’s an old nimbus, cotterless so i fear it might not hold up for long on these steep hills. but so far it’s doing great, feels really solid. i have 170mm torker cranks on there, off an old torker lx 26". i did have 150mm chrome udc cranks.
yeah man it’s crazy… and this vid still does not show how steep and long all the hills are, you gotta see it in person. its crazy, like within a couple seconds you’re at like 16-17 mph then gotta make a turn or dodge some roots, lol. its a blast tho.
Nice to see some 36er off-road action.Of course the purist will say its not proper muni because your not doing 6 foot drops or bouncing around on a pogo stick.I guess they have never tried a 36er off-road.

yeah when i went from the 150’s to the 170’s it didnt really decrease my speed at all(at least it seems that way) and i have sooooo much more control downhill and up.
