Yo everyone!
The Dirty Shocks crew here to hopefully begin a thread of hardtail content sharing!! Full suspension bikes conquer obsticles with ease but those with the cajones to take a hardtail where it potentially shouldnt go deserve a little slice of the pie XD
Please everyone share your pics and vids!!
Check out Dirty Shocks (still in its humble beginnings ) on YouTube! https://youtu.be/BNhy29DR1io

Hardtail lover here! My lovely new Bird Zro AM. Sorry for the shonky lighting, I'll try and get another, better photo soon. It's a bloody great bike!
I own a Framed Marquette Carbon 27.5 plus bike. It's a Sram GX 1x11drivetrain bike with a Reba fork.
Upgrades from stock:
Carbon i45 wheelset (Brand is same as bike mfg)
27.5x3 Terrene Chunk(f) and 27.5x2.8McFly(r) tires setup tubeless. I originally had a Chunk on the rear too but it was too much tire for anything other than extremely rough terrain.
Kalloy Uno 60mm stem
Answer Pro Taper SL 750 carbon bar
XT brakes
Ashima Ai2 180/160 rotors
Reba converted to 120mm (done after pic)
Wellgo MG-5 pedals
AB oval DM 32t Chainring
Bike weighs in at 24.5lbs (11.1kg). Current geo has the BB height right at 300mm and HTA of 67°. The 445 chainstays work great since I'm 6'1" and the bike has a wb of 1145mm.
I like technical sections and rock gardens. Huge rocks and roots are what I enjoy clearing the most. It's not quite ready for huge or fast downhill sections but I have taken it on those trails without a hitch. It prolly wouldn't last long taking that kind of beating though.
Hardtails ftw My BTR Ranger
Sorry for the cables, will get some other brakes, Hope tech E4 and a Hope crankset as i have some troubles with the spider on my Middleburns
Pike two step (160mm/130mm)
200mm 9.8 dropper
Xt 1x11
Slx brakes
Breaking in the new ride!
Medium frame in black and blue with red and platinum accents.
Cane Creek 110 headset
130 mm Fox Factory fork
Spank Oozy Trail wheels laced to Onyx hubs
Minion DHR 27.5 2.8 F/Rekon 27.5 2.8 R
SRAM GX drivetrain
Race face turbine 175 mm cranks
TRP Quadeum GSpec brakes
SRAM centerline rotors 203/180
Deity Skyline 787 bars
Deity Cavity 50 mm stem
Deity Knuckleduster grips
Deity Speedtrap saddle
Deity TMac flats
It’s actually a medium. They build their frames on the larger side so most folks end up getting a size down from normal. It rocks!
Here I'm out on my 29 er Marino.
You guys can talk as much crap about plus sized tires you want, I love this thing!!
I really like my custom Mondraker Vantage R
full Chromag build
Yari 160mm fork
The Swarf won a poll for sexiest hardtail of the year back in 2016. I also sort of ruined it slightly by running super heavy tyres and just one gear. Right now there is a WTB Convict in the front and a Vigilante in the back, both the heavy ones with soft rubber. But it's just so grippy and silent going downhill...
Modernized Jamis Komodo works great for me. It’s fun to ride when I’m not on the full sus
And a film
