Could be coincidence even, after all both are good bikes for having fun in the woods. How/why they happened to choose the same name as BTR did, I don't know nor care. With a name like the Ranger, we had to make at least one bike forest green colored and it's aptly named "Johnny Green Jeans." Downside there is that obviously they couldn't use those on bikes with disc brakes. I read somewhere that Middleburn actually used to have wheel hubs that constantly seeped a little oil, making it impossible for contaminants to enter whilst being incredibly smooth. So yeah, if you're worried about your bearings not keeping up in the mud, cake them in grease and you'll be good. Eventually I solved this by applying a particularly thick layer of grease on the outside of that lower cup, which worked as a barrier. On my first mountainbike, sometimes the lower headset cup would seize after a particularly muddy ride (with the front tire shooting mud at the poor bearing). Then I'll soak it in oil, spin it a few times and I'm good again. I have never ridden a gravel bike but if these is one thing seizing, it is the old ACS freewheel on my BMX. Attempting to clean them usually causes more damage than neglecting them. Something similar would go for other bearings on the bike. The bb, headset, hubs etc all have bearings too (and some in the rear mech and shifter if you have those) and typically these keep up nicely. If I had a bike that was my "one bike" that I never intended to run as anything other than an XC/TR (like the Revel Ranger) I'd definitely want it to be lighter. The weight of GG's front triangle is a compromise to make it durable in far longer travel variants (by swapping chainstays).Īs an owner of a Trail Pistol, do I wish it were lighter? Sure! Nobody is going to complain about having less mass to pedal around, but would I trade that less weight for less versatility? Probably not. Yet, people rush out to buy bikes (that are made in Asia) that weigh the same amount, with the same travel, and no ability to be converted into a 160/170 29er brawler that is the Gnarvana. People felt like that was portly for a bike intended to be a trail bike. It's just hilarious that when PinkBike Reviewed the Made-in-USA Guerilla Gravity Trail Pistol, it got knocked for being heavy (30lbs) with 120/130mm travel (although most owner run them in Pistola form with 130/140 travel). Part of this is because manufactures hate playing the warranty guessing game of "did you use your bike outside of its intended application?" They would much prefer the consumers stop worrying about weight so they can overbuild bikes and never worry about warranties. With a name like the Ranger, we had to make at least one bike forest green colored and it's aptly named "Johnny Green Jeans." We also have a bit more timeless graphite black option we like to call "De La You're totally right - I would be asking for a less durable or capable bike - but I'd know that because I want a 26lbs XC/TR bike, not an Enduro bike with 170mm of travel. Combined with reasonable-yet-modern reach and chainstay numbers make this bike feel ridiculously well-balanced climbing, descending, and especially cornering. The head angle is 67.5 degrees with a 75.3-degree seat angle. The Ranger has 115mm of rear travel, 120mm up front, and 29er wheels. The result is a mountain bike that is right at home at the start line of a race, all day in the mountains or simply rallying the local trails after work. It is over a pound lighter than the Rascal frame and tough enough to inspire confidence on the descents. Think XC light, XC efficiency, with the extra-high punch of that bottomless CBF feel. So we took the legendary CBF suspension platform somewhere it’s never been. We love the Rascal but we wanted something a little lighter and faster. This bike is made with one thing in mind- to enjoy the ups as much as the downs. The combined population of Box heads is 1387.In keeping with the tradition of making the bikes we want to ride, we are thrilled to announce the new Revel Ranger! There are 42 enemies with the Box head in Stick Ranger (17 sleepy, 14 neutral, and 11 surprised). It becomes rather common after the Submarine Shrine. The first neutral and sleepy Box head appears in Desert 1, while the first surprised Box head appears in Blood Lake. The first Stick Ranger contains three different versions of Box heads: one with a neutral expression, one with a sleepy expression, and one with a surprised expression. The surprised Box head, ten times enlarged. The neutral Box head, ten times enlarged.
