Poo Slinging Diaper Rash Elderly People....oops did I say that?
:face-icon-small-shoYep, try to turn the negative bickering(even though I started it) into a positive light and get met with more "diaper talk", I thought our elders had something to teach us? Oh boy....:face-icon-small-dis
So about that new Mountain Tamer.....
-adjustability looks to be improved in a MASSIVE way, having heard from K-Mod owners, this type of set-up made a world of difference from the K-Mod to last years TS offering.
Is TS simply leveling the playing field or does the Mtn Tamer contain something I'm not seeing from comparison pics I'm looking at?
-weight should be similar, little heavier?
-my biggest problem when weighing the options of a new skid was the durability of the Mtn. Tamer. I have a few friends with TS skids and seem to have an endless supply of TS rebuild or update kits for the skids. Can someone spell out in a chronological order(year by year) what generation skid is what, and which updates pertained to each?
-Neither can hit jumps with more than 10-15ft vert before bottoming out, and that's only if the skid is so stiff it will barely move going down the trail. And it trenches bad when it's set that stiff. When the skid is softened enough to have a really nice trail ride(one M8, one T-Nytro) neither sled can hold the front end down very well. The more powerful Nytro especially. Makes for a lot of fun while boondocking and play riding, but not so much when you start to make a few pulls up some of the steeper stuff.
-That's pretty much what kept me from going with a TS skid at this point. But if the adjustability is as quick as it looks and provides to be a stellar set-up rivaling the K-Mod skidframe........I might have to put it back on my radar.(I was fairly certain a EZ Ryde was where I was spending my money, but was wavering because of the K-Mod)
- I need to have a skid that likes to be jumped hard, driven down the trail 9-0, it needs to keep the "flickability" on my sled, and still have the "on hill" adjustability to keep the front end planted for the short(sometimes not so short) and steep pulls we have in the interior of BC.
I know that's a tall order for a skidframe, and partially why I own 3 "daily drivers" because they are each ment for different applications. (Hillclimbing, boondocking, jumping)
More info is always welcome. As are some comments from others that own either TS skids or the competitions.(if that doesn't offend the original poster)
I'd like to hear a side by side comparison with some values added in terms of the different conditions and how each skid handled.
