Nearby trail system and your favorite trails?
Some of my favorite trails to ride my Tyaughton on are the Nitro trail system in Henderson and the Blue Diamond trails. These trails offer versatile flowy green and blue routes as well as some spicer black diamond trails, all of which the Tyaughton handles like a charm.
What do you ride (type of terrain)? What's the intended use for your new bike?
Since I live in the desert and can mostly ride year-round, I built up my Tyaughton as a single speed cross country bike to work on increasing my bike fitness to prepare for the DH season. There’s a ton of local trails that are super-climby, which forces me to become a better and stronger rider with only one gear option.
What model/colour?
List your bike spec/build. Did you do anything custom to make it special?
I am running custom Industry 9 carbon wheels with alternating blue and silver spokes, Industry 9 front and rear hub, ceramic bearings, and Maxxis Rekon tires on the front and rear.
I’m using Deity Skywire DarkRoom World Champ handlebars, Deity copperhead stem, Deity Speedtrap saddle, and Deity lockjaw grips.
How tall are you? What size frame did you get? How does it fit you?
I am 5’8’’ and ordered a medium frame which is the perfect fit for me.
What do you love about your new bike?
First of all, have you seen the CNC machining on the frame?? Take a look at the pics, it’s absolutely stunning. I also love how light and playful the Tyaughton is. I built it up to be an unstoppable, soul-crushing single speed cross country machine and that’s exactly what it is!
The terrain in the desert is rocky, sandy, and rough, and the titanium frame gives me the stability and confidence to ride the bike like a full suspension setup. Lastly, I love the fact that I somehow convinced my boyfriend and fellow Knolly Regional Athlete, Quinn Winter, to come to the single speed dark side and he built up his own Knolly Tyaughton Titanium SS frame!! Because couples who single speed together, stay together! <3
